31
Defined the parts of a muscle fiber...
32
The sarcoplasmic reticulum allows for...

thin.
36
Myosin and actin filaments give skeletal muscle what type of appearance

picture of myocin and actin
40
The discharge of the action potential from a motor unit signals
The release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into the Myofibrillar 
41
calcium released into the sarcoplasmic reticulum causes
the start of muscle contraction
42
The sliding filament theory states that
Actin filaments at each end of the sarcomere side inward on myosin filaments
43
When actin filaments at each end of the sarcomere slide inward on myosin filaments they pull
They pull z-lines toward the center of the sarcomere and shorten the muscle fiber
44
Muscle Myofibrillar shortens and ultimately produces
Force
45

Unattached portions of myosin filament 
46
In a stretched muscle the items in the H zone are
Elongated
47
In a scratched muscle the I Band and H Zone are elongated and there is no force potential due to....

48
When a muscle contracts the I and H bands ...
shortened
49
When a muscle is completely contracted there is what type of force attention
Low force potential due to reduced Crossbridge Acton alignment.
50
When a muscle is completely contracted it has hit
maximum potential; all the forces already happened
51
what are the five phases to the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction
Resting phase
Excitation contraction coupling phase
Contraction phase
Recharge phase
Relaxation phase
52
In the excitation-contraction coupling phase of the sliding filament theory what happens
Calcium moves Troponin which moves tryptomyacin out-of-the-way and allows easier bonding between myosin and actin
53
in the contraction phase of the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction what happens...
Power stroke continues as long as Calcium and ATP are available
54
In the recharge phase of the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction what happens....
myosin heads continuously repeat action 
55
in the relaxation phase of the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction what happens 
Stimulation of the motor nerve stops and calcium cause back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum
56
Stimulation for muscle contraction stops when
Calcium goes back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum or ATP is gone
57
what dictates the force produced by a muscle?
The number of cross bridges that formed between myosin and actin in an instant of time;
and something telling the motor unit to contract
58
What two things are necessary for cross bridge cycling myosin and actin filament
Calcium and ATP
59
in the neural muscular system the activation of muscles happens when
The action potential arrives at the nerve terminal and releases acetylcholine
60
once a significant amount of acetylcholine is released at the terminal what is generated across the Sarcolemma
An action potential is generated and the fiber contracts
61
The extent of control of a muscle depends on the
Number of muscle fibers within each motor unit
62
precision muscles may have as little as
One muscle fiber per motor unit
63
Muscles that require less per session may have
several hundred fibers served by 1 motor unit
64
A stronger action potential doesn't necessarily mean you will get
A stronger firing from the tissue
65
The All or None Principle identifies that....
muscle fibers in a motor unit contract and develop force at the same time 
66

67
The neuromuscular system has three main types of muscle fibers what are they

70
Motor units are composed of muscle fibers with specific
Morphological and physiological characteristics that determine their functional capacity
71
Variation in the amount of force by activity of different motor units is explained by
there are various composition of muscle fibers 
72
What are the two ways that the force output of a muscle be varied
To change in frequency and activation of individual motor units
change in the number of activated motor units
73
muscle propriceptors are specialized sensory receptors that provide
Central nervous system with information needed to maintain muscle tone
74
Propriceptors allow us to perform
Contacts coordinated movements
75
Muscle spindles instantaneously react against
an opposite force
76
When a muscle is stretched already formed the muscle spindle activates the
Sensory neuron sends an impulse to the spinal cord
77
when a muscle spindle sensory neuron is activated and sends an impulse to the spinal cord it then
synapsis with the motor neuron causing muscle contraction.
78
The propriceptor known as the Golgi tendon organ is located where?
located on tendons near the mayo tendinous junction
79
Golgi tendon organs occur in a series with
extrafusal muscle fibers
80
The Golgi tendon organ's respond to extremely heavy loads placed on a muscle by
An inhibitory interneuron in the spinal cord which synapsis with inhibitory motor neurons and release the muscle
81
 athletes can improve force production by doing training in
Heavier loads in order to optimize neural recruitment
82
Performance by increasing the cross sectional area of muscles involved in
The desired activity
83
how can athletes improve force production by performing multi muscle multi joint exercises?
Explosive actions to optimize fast twitch muscle recruitment
