25
motor neurons
specialized nerve cells that stimulates muscles to contract
26
space between the presynaptic terminal and the muscle fiber membrane
synaptic cleft
27
the axon terminal
presynaptic terminal
28
postsynaptic membrane
sarcolemma
29
sarcomeres shorten
contraction
30
sarcomeres lengthen
relaxation
31
contraction of muscle fiber in response to a stimulus
muscle twitch
32
time between the application of a stimulus and the beginning of contraction
lag phase
33
time during which the muscle contracts
contraction phase
34
muscle relaxes
relaxation phase
35
individual muscle contract more forcefully
summation
36
sustained contraction that occurs when the frequency increases
tetanus
37
force of contraction of individual muscle fibers is increased by rapidly stimulating them
summation
38
the number of muscle fibers contracting is increased by increasing the number of motor units stimulated
recruitment
39
contains I myosin as the predominant or even exclusive type
slow-twitch muscle
40
works aerobically
slow-twitch fiber
41
suited working anaerobically
fast-twitch fiber
42
contract slowly
slow-twitch
43
contract quickly
fast twitch
44
required O2 to breakdown glucose
Aerobic respiration
45
does not require O2
Anaerobic respiration
46
temporary state of reduced work capacity
fatigue
47
most common type of fatigue,involves the central nervous system rather than the muscle themselves
psychological fatigue
48
occurs when there is too little ATP to bind myosin myofilaments
physiological contracture
49
is the constant tension produced by body muscles over long period of time
muscle tone
50
Increase the tension in the muscle without changing it's length
Isometric contractions
51
have constant amount of tension
isotonic
