Term
|
Definition
| connect a skeletal muscle to a bone |
|
|
Term
| the latency period is the time: |
|
Definition
| period between stimulation and the shortening of the skeletal muscle |
|
|
Term
| duration of the latency period: |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| the amount of work done by a skeletal muscle is: |
|
Definition
| distance the weight is lifted multiplied by the weight |
|
|
Term
| electrical shock stimulates the muscle, which contracts and lifts the weight. the distance the weight is lifted is: |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| what is the effect of increasing the weight on the latency period? |
|
Definition
| latency period increased as the weight increased |
|
|
Term
| during the latency period: |
|
Definition
| the muscle was contracting isometrically |
|
|
Term
| increasing the weight increased the latency period because: |
|
Definition
| it takes time to build up tension in the muscle and the tendon to overcome the weight |
|
|
Term
| immediately after the latency period has passed: |
|
Definition
| muscle contracted isotonically and lifted the weight |
|
|
Term
| relationship between the amount of muscle shortening and weight |
|
Definition
| amount of muscle shortening generally decreased as the weight was increased |
|
|
Term
| predict the amount of isotonic contraction with a weight of 300 |
|
Definition
| muscle would not shorten, because the isometric contraction could not overcome such a heavy weight |
|
|
Term
| determine the relationship between work and weight |
|
Definition
| work done by the contraction increased to a maximum value and then decreased |
|
|
Term
| when compared with the response for a lighter weight like 40g, the response for the 120g weight: |
|
Definition
| both of the above statements are true |
|
