What is required for muscle contraction? - ANSWER ATP for energy
and calcium to bind with troponin to allow contraction to occur.
Atrophy - ANSWER Decrease in the size of a muscle by not using the
muscle.
Hypertrophy - ANSWER Enlargement of a muscle
Synergist - ANSWER Muscles that assist in the movement of a bone
Antagonist - ANSWER Muscles that oppose the action of a prime
mover
Cardiac Muscle - ANSWER A type of involuntary muscle that is striated
and found only in the heart
Skeletal Muscle - ANSWER Voluntary muscle that attaches to bone
and causes movement
Smooth Muscle - ANSWER Nonstriated, involuntary muscle that
contracts automatically
When impulses arrive so fast the muscle cannot relax between stimuli
and twitches merge into one prolonged contraction - ANSWER
Complete tetanus
Incomplete tetanus - ANSWER Condition of rapid muscle contraction
with only partial relaxation. Most skeletal muscles remain in this state.
Treppe - ANSWER Each successive twitch contracts more forcefully
than the previous one
Twitch - ANSWER Single, brief contraction
and calcium to bind with troponin to allow contraction to occur.
