When sodium enters the muscle cell during Neuro-Muscular Junction along with the ACh, does the muscle cell become more positive or negative in charge?
Definition
It becomes more positive.
Term
What muscle pulls scapulas laterally and forward?
Definition
Serratus anterior?
Term
Are muscle fibers of a motor unit cluster together?
Definition
NO, but they disperse throughtout the muscle, in that way there is a weak contraction over a wider area, not just localized in one region

Term
What two muscles close the jaw?
Definition
Masseter and temporalis
Term
What inhibits the troponin-tropomyosin to allow muscle contraction?
Definition
Calcium
Term
How many muscle fibers per nerve fiber required for fine motor control?
Definition
Only 3-6 muscle fibers per nerve fiber
Term
Tonic (slowly adapting) to heavy touch, pressure, stretching of the skin and joint movements. Found in dermis, subcutaneous tissue, ligaments, tendons and joint capsules. Encapsulated
Definition
Ruffini Corpuscles
Term
What muscle opens the jaw and pulls the lip down
Definition
Platysma
Term
What muscle purses the lips
Definition
Orbicularis Oris
Term
What muscle closes the eyelids
Definition
Orbicularis Oculi
Term
What pulls Myosin and Actin closer together during muscle contraction?
Definition
The globular heads of the Mysosin
Term

Definition
Buccinator
Term
What is Isometric contraction?
Definition
muscle develops tension but does not shorten (no movement)
Term
True or False: Muscle contractions require ATP.
Definition
True
Term
What spinal column-area muscle allows you to bend forward?
Definition
Rectus Abdominus
Term
Warm and cold receptors, nociceptors. Are most abundant in epithelia and connective tissue. Unencapsulated.
Definition
Free Nerve Endings
Term
What muscle allows you to stand erect?
Definition

Definition
Intercostals
Term
These quickly adapting dendrites are entwined around hair follicles. Unencapsulated.
Definition
Hair Receptors
Term
In whattype of contractions does the muscle lengthens while tension remains constant?
Definition

What muscle pulls the thigh medially?
Definition
Adductors
Term
True or False: A filament is larger than a muscle fiber.
Definition
False: a filament is contained within sacromeres which are also contained within microfibers.
