PE 461 FINAL VOCAB QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS { GRADED A+}
synapse - ✔✔junction between nerve cell where the electrical activity of one
neuron influences the electrical activity of the other neuron.
glycogenolysis - ✔✔process by which glycogen is broken into glucose-1-
phospate to be used in glycolysis by muscles
gluconeogenesis - ✔✔the synthesis of glucose from amino acids, lactate, glycerol,
and other short carbon-chain molecules
progressive resistance training - ✔✔a training program in which the muscles must
work against a gradually increasing resistance; an implementation of the overload
principle
myocardium - ✔✔cardiac muscle; provides the force of contraction to eject blood
sarcolemma - ✔✔the cell (plasma) membrane surrounding a muscle fiber
, ectomorphy - ✔✔category of somatotype that is rated for linearity of body form
endomorphy - ✔✔the somatotype category that is rated for roundness (fat)
isometric - ✔✔action in which the muscle develops tension, but does not shorten;
static
isokinetic - ✔✔action in which the rate of movement is constantly maintained
through a specific range of motion even though maximal force is exerted.
isotonic - ✔✔contraction in which a muscle shortens against a constant load of
tension, resulting in movement.
efferent fibers - ✔✔nerve fibers that carry neural information from the CNS to the
effector organ
schwann cell - ✔✔the cell that surrounds peripheral nerve fibers, forming myelin
sheath
eccentric action - ✔✔occurs when a muscle is activated and force is produced but
the muscle lengthens
neuromuscular junction - ✔✔synapse between axon terminal of a motor neuron
and the motor end plate of a muscles plasma membrane
