An explanation leading to the correct answer would be helpful! Scenario: Your friend Arnold S, who sometimes goes by "Dutch", has started lifting weights because he wants his muscles to get bigger. He's done a little bit of research, and he tells you that weight lifting is increasing the size of myofibrils. Arnie is getting huge, and so you are hesitant to correct him, but you know that what he's saying isn't quite right. The more likely explanation for Arnold's muscles getting bigger is...arrow_forwardWhat happens inside a muscle to cause that increase in strength to happen over time?arrow_forward
- When curare, a neuromuscular poison, is dropped onto an isolated muscle-nerve preparation in a laboratory, the muscle does not contract when the nerve is stimulated, even though neurotransmitter is released from the nerve cell.

- What happens when the muscular action potential spreads through transverse (T) tubules of the sarcolemma? The action potential in T tubules triggers the release of acetylcholine from the axon terminals of the motor neuron. The action potential in T tubules triggers closing of sodium channels and opening of potassium channels, which enables myosin cross bridges to form. The action potential in T tubules opens voltage-sensitive calcium channels in the T tubules, allowing calcium to flow into the sarcoplasm. The action potential in T tubules causes a shape change in voltage-sensitive proteins that pull open calcium channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum.arrow_forwardWhat two types of muscle cells need both extracellular and introcellular calcium to contract?
