13
New cards

At the neuromuscular junction, the somatic motor neuron releases a neurotransmitter that acts upon on the skeletal muscle to initiate contraction. What type of neurotransmitter receptor is on the skeletal muscle? Choose ONE.

nicotinic cholinergic

3 multiple choice options

14
New cards

The force exerted by a muscle is dependent on two factors, one of which is the number of activated motor units. What is this known as? Choose ONE.

recruitments

3 multiple choice options

15
New cards

Randy is rock climbing in Yosemite National Park when he falls from the face of the mountain. Luckily, at the last minute he reaches out and grabs hold of the edge of a rock with his right hand. Based on the properties of skeletal muscle only (not connective tissue or bone), will Randy be able to produce more force to pull himself up if his arm is fully extended or partially flexed? Choose ONE.

fully extended

partially flexed

1 multiple choice option

16
New cards

If a drug reduced the frequency of action potentials, what is another way our nervous system control force production in a muscle in vivo? Choose ONE.

recruitment

3 multiple choice options

17
New cards

Why does the force of a tetanic contraction greater than that of a twitch contraction? This is because:

More Ca2+ is released in a tetanic contraction.

3 multiple choice options

18
New cards

The decrease in active force that occurs at lengths longer than the optimal length is caused by:

insufficient overlap of actin and myosin filaments.

3 multiple choice options

19
New cards

As the time interval between each stimulus decreases (i.e. stimulation frequencies increase), the muscle force generated by each successive stimulus will first increase and then decrease as the stimulus frequency becomes very high. Why does the muscle reach its peak force? Because: Choose All that apply.

all cross-bridges form

more intracellular calcium available

3 multiple choice options

20
New cards

How does summation of muscle twitches occur? Choose ALL that apply.

more cross bridges form

calcium is not resequestered before the next action potential arrives

2 multiple choice options

21
New cards

In mammalian dive reflex (MDR), both sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems are activated. Why doesn't the heart rate increase during the MRD? Choose ALL that apply.

Muscarinic cholinergic receptors on the heart are stimulated.

Parasympathetic nerves controlling the heart rate are stimulated.

Sympathetic nerves innervating the heart are not stimulated.

1 multiple choice option

22
New cards

Other than bradycardia, what physiological response is characteristic of mammalian dive reflex? Choose one.

peripheral vasoconstriction

23
New cards

The effect of the sympathetic nervous system during mammalian dive reflex is through increase the release of __________, causing ______________in the limb, skin, intestines, and kidneys. Choose ONE.

norepinephrine, vasoconstrict

3 multiple choice options

24
New cards

An increase in the membrane permeability to ________ ion hyperpolarizes autorhythmic cells and slows the rate of depolarization resulting in a decrease in heart rate. Choose ONE.

potassium (K+)

3 multiple choice options

25
New cards

In today's lab we are testing the effects of apnea and cold on the MDR. Would apnea alone produces the same magnitude of effect on heart rate compared to combining these stimuli? Choose ONE.

No. Heart rate would be lowest in the apnea and cold conditions.

3 multiple choice options

26
New cards

Why did you want to normalize the data in the Mammalian Dive Reflex experiment? Choose ONE.

Because of our research question.

3 multiple choice options

27

SCUBA snorkel alone with face immersed in warm water.

Hunched over basin without submerging face.

3 multiple choice options

28
