Question
Chapter 9, Problem 2CT
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The anatomical fact on which the practice of leg muscle biopsies(explained in question) is based.
Introduction:
Muscles are the part of the muscular system, which is specialized in cells that are responsible for providing locomotion and movement to the human body. Around 600 muscles are present in the human body and comprise 43% (percent) of the body weight.

Students have asked these similar questions
Muscular endurance is defined as the:
O a) ability of a muscle to contract
repeatedly over an extended
period of time
b) amount of force a muscle can
produce with a single maximal
effort
O c) ability to move the joints through
a full range of motion
O d) amount of time required to
contract a muscle completely
Which of these is the proper sequence of these events of muscle contraction
1) Action potential propagating down into the T-tubule
2) Power stroke
3) Ca+2 is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
4) The tropomyosin shifts out of the way thereby exposing the active sites of the actin
Question 7 options:
a)
1 à 3 à 4 à 2
b)
4 à 3 à 2 à 1
c)
1 à 4 à 2 à 3
d)
3 à 1 à 4 à 2
Discuss the notion that intense exercise might result in permanent damage to (b) the musculoskeletal system in children.

Question 75 options: a) Increase your protein intake at dinner to achieve a total of 1.5 g/kg/day b) Include protein shakes with breakfast each day c) Include 20-30 g of protein with each meal throughout the day d) Choose pasta-containing meals for dinner to promote carb loading and prevent muscle wasting during overnight fastingarrow_forward18) Which of the following is NOT correct statement regarding muscle fatigue? A) Gradual increase in effort required to maintain a constant submaximal task B) There are two types of muscle fatigues, peripheral fatigue and central fatigue C) Force declines sooner & to a greater extent than velocity D) Slow oxidative muscles are less resistant to fatigue than fast glycolytic muscles 19) Which statement is NOT correct regarding disuse atrophy and skeletal muscle? A) Protein synthesis is decreased B) Protein degradation is increased C) There is a myofiber transition towards a slower more oxidative muscle D) Anabolic hormones and growth factors cannot completely off set disuse atrophyarrow_forwardRelate these conditions to the normal contraction of muscle fibers.

- To build individual muscle strength and muscle girth (i.e. bulk up), it is best to: O a) do resistance exercises for each muscle at least 6 days per week b) use medium resistance with medium number of repetitions O c) use heavy resistance with few repetitions for multiple sets d) use light resistance with many repetitionsarrow_forwardMuscular strength is defined as the: a) ability of a muscle to contract with maximal force O b) ability to move the joints through a full range of motion O c) ability to sustain a given level of muscular tension over time d) amount of force a muscle can produce repeatedly over 60 secondsarrow_forwardIf you completely stopped working out for 6 months, the following would occur: O a) a decrease in muscle fiber type O b) an increase in muscle fiber size O c) an increase in muscle fiber number O d) a decrease in muscle fiber sizearrow_forward
- An increase in the cross sectional area of muscle is known as hypertrophy. Hypertrophy allows muscle to produce more force due primarily to: a.) Increased number of potential cross bridges that can be formed (i.e., actin-myosin interactions) b.) Increased number of T-Tubules c.) Increased ability to activate the muscle d.) Increased calcium release from the sarcoplasmic reticulumarrow_forwardWhat is the possible mechanism behind the difference between nerve stimulation and direct muscle stimulation?arrow_forwardDescribe the changes that occur in skeletal muscle as a result of endurance training. Include a brief discussion on how endurance training improves acid-base balance during exercise. What physiological benefits may happen for an older adult who begins a progressive resistance-training program?arrow_forward
- Which of the following step(s) about the excitation of skeletal muscle is/are incorrect? 1. Acetylcholine is released and binds to motor end plate receptors 2. An action potential is created and moves down T-tubules 3. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum 4. Calcium ions bind to tropomyosin to shift troponin off the binding sites for cross-bridging 5. Myosin forms cross-bridges and binds with actin to pull it towards middle of sarcomerearrow_forwardThrough dedicated training, the speed or level of effort coinciding with a person’s lactate threshold improves. Within the skeletal muscle cell, what changes might have occurred to permit this improved lactate threshold, resulting in less lactate spilling out into the blood?arrow_forwardThe changes related to muscle mobility are the most obvious in older adult. There can be measurable differences in muscle strength, endurance, range of motion, coordination, elasticity, and flexibility of connective tissue. Regular exercise is necessary to prevent a decrease in muscle strength. Exercise helps to strengthen muscles and keeps joints, tendons, and ligaments more flexible, allowing for a more active lifestyle. Please research and describe some activities you could recommend to an elderly patient to stay active to help them maintain muscle massarrow_forward
