OPTIONS GIVEN: 1. When the hammer/mallet strikes the patellar tendon, the muscle fibres stretch and stimulate the sensory neurons within those fibres. A nerve impulse is generated and travels from the ______ nerve in the _______ to the spinal cord. The sensory neuron stimulates a motor neuron within the spinal cord. The motor neurons sends a nerve impulse back to the muscle causing it to contract which causes the leg to kick.

Motor defects that result from an internal capsular lesion include :-a- Paralysis of all skeletal muscles on the opposite side of the bodyb- Paralysis of all skeletal muscles on the same side of the bodyc- paresis of axial muscles on the same side of the bodyd- paralysis of the distal muscles on the opposite side of the body
Adequate level of muscle tone is essential for the accurate performance of voluntary movements, because :-a- it adjusts the α -motor neuron discharge initiating voluntary movementsb- it adjusts posture of proximal joints of the acting limbsc- it adjusts the upright posture of the whole body during voluntary movementsd- it adjusts sensitivity of the spindles of the involved muscles
Differentiate between the following 1. Intrafusal and extrafusal muscle fibers 2. Alpha and gamma motor neurons
Use choices from the following word bank to fill in the blanks 13 - 22: Calcium ions Acetylcholine Troponin T-tubules Myosin Action potential Motor end plate Synaptic cleft Аxon АТР An action potential travels down the 13. Ахon of the motor neuron until it reaches the presynaptic terminal. The action potential causes the release of the neurotransmitter 14._Synaptic cleft from the presynaptic terminal. This and binds to its neurotransmitter diffuses across the 15. This binding creates an receptors on the 16. which travels down the sarcolemma and down 17. the to the terminal cisternae of the sarcoplasmic 18. 76°F arch
The fewer muscle fibers present in a motor unit and the greater the number of motor units in a muscle as a whole: 1. the less likely these muscle fibers will fatigue. 2. the less likely an action potential will be generated in the muscle fibers of that motor unit. 3. the stronger the contractions of muscle fibers in that motor unit.
Any stimulus above a maximal stimulus will elicit 1. A steadily increasing force 2. No force because the muscle is fatigued 3. A steadily decreasing force 4. The same maximal response
Using pyramidal motor tract as a template, describe the voluntary control of skeletal muscles being sure to use appropriate course terminology. Start from the very first neuron and end with neural innervation onto muscle fiber.

How is the muscular contraction stopped (i.e.: how does a muscle relax after contraction)? 1. The brain stops sending the nerve impulse that commands the muscle to contract, interrupting communication at the neuromuscular junction 2. Acetylcholineesterase (AChE) is released into the synaptic cleft to destroy any remaining Acetylcholine 3. No mechanism is necessary. When the antagonist begins to contract, it forces relaxation and stretch of the agonist muscle. 4. Relaxation occurs as the myosin heads are "snapped" off of the thick filaments. This interrupts the crossbridge and allows for muscles to stretch 5. Relaxation only occurs if the brain sends a "stop" signal to the muscle
How would you explain the following observation? When motor nerve fibers in the leg are severed, the muscles they innervate become paralyzed; however, in time, control over the muscles often returns.
