Agonist
The action of a single muscle/group of muscles
Antagonist
Muscle that opposes or inhibits another muscle
Syngergist
Muscles of the group that supports the movement
Prime mover
Within a group of synergists, the muscle that contributes most to the movement
Fixators
Stabilizers of prime movers
Heads
If a muscle has two or more origins, each attachment is called a head
Origin
The attachment on one side of a muscle that does NOT move
Insertion
The muscle attachment, usually to a bone, that moves the bone when the muscle contracts

As the diameter of an axon gets larger, the resistance to the speed of the impulse becomes greater
False
Once an action potential begins to travel down an axon, it will jump from node to node initiating new action potentials
True
Vesicles containing acetylcholine travel across the synaptic cleft to the postsynaptic terminal
False
The hamstrings are a synergist to the quadriceps
False
Neurons are polarized
True
What do dendrites receive?
electrical impulses
Neurons are _____ and ______ excitable
electrically, chemically
Inside the cell there are more of what ion?
Potassium (K+)
Outside the cell there are more of what ion?
Sodium (Na+)
Negative membrane potential
When the inside of a cell is more negatuve chargered compares to the outside
Membrane potential
the difference in electric potential between the interior and exterior of a biological cell
Voltage gated
responds to an electrical stimulus
Ligand-gated
responds to a chemical stimulus
Depolarization
the result of increased membrane permeability to Na+ and diffusion of Na+ into the cell due to the opening of sodium voltage gated ion channels
Repolarization
a result of the inactivation gates of the voltage gated Na+ channels that now close, and the voltage gated K+ channels open
Absolute refractory period
no action potential is produced by any stimulus, no matter how strong
Relative refractory period
a stronger-than-threshold stimulus can produce an action potential
What arrives at the presynaptic terminal?
Action potentials
What channels open at the presynaptic terminal?
Ca2+ channels
Via exocytosis, what neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft?
Acetycholine (ACh)
What type of channels are Na+ channels?
ligand-gated
