1st half of chapter one
1. What is smooth muscle sometimes called?
a. Involuntary muscle
2. What is the muscle under conscious control called?
a. Skeletal muscle
3. What covers the Muscle Fibre
a. Endomysium
4. Where are the transverse Tubles found?
a. The sarcoplasm
5. What is the basic functional unit of a myofibril and the basic contractile unit of muscle?
a. Sacromere
6. What is Nebulin?
a. An anchoring protein for actin
7. What is considered sometimes as the third myofilament
a. Titin
8. What is a a-motor neuron?
a. is a nerve cell that connects with and controls many muscle fibers
9. A single a- motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it directly signals are collectively
termed a
a. Motor Unit
10. What is the is the theory called for how muscles create movement?
a. Sliding filament theoiy

2nd half of Chapter one (make the question easy)
1. Type 1 and Type 2 muscle fibres differ in their of contraction. (Speed)
2. What enzyme splits ATP to release energy to drive contraction? (myosin ATPase)
3. In which type of muscle fiber do cross-bridges cycles occur rapidly ? (Type 2)
4. Method of identifying fiber types by chemically separating different types of myosin
molecules (isoforms). (Gel electrophoresis)
5. Slow Twitch, Slow Oxidative. (Type 1)
6. Why are Type 2 fibres more adept to deliver calcium into the muscle cell when
stimulated? (More highly developed Sarcoplasmic reticulum)
7. Titin centers what in the sarcomere and prevents them from overstretching? (Thick
filaments)
8. Titin is the third sarcomere myofilament and contributes to? (Force production during
and following eccentric contraction)
9. Titin acts as a greatly increasing its stainless and thus force. (Molecular spring)
10. Which motor unit has a smaller cell body? (Type 1)
11. When a Type 1 alpha motor neuron stimulates its fibers, fewer muscle fibers contract
than when a type 2 motor neuron stimulates its fibers? (True)
12. Anns and legs do not have similar fiber compositions (False)

everyone? (Soleus muscle)

transducers and measuring its strength and single fiber contractile velocity. (True)

Chapter 9
I. Which of the following best defines muscular endurance?
A) The maximal force generated in a single repetition
B) The ability to perform repeated muscle contractions or sustain contractions over time
C) The rate of energy released by cellular metabolic processes without oxygen
