ANSWER: B The agonist is: A) The muscle that contracts and shortens the distance between two bones B) The muscle that relaxs and lengthens the distance between two bones C) The part of the muscle that links the tendon and muscle D) The lengthening muscle under tension E) A type of contraction that involves same speed movement ANSWER: A What is study of muscles is called: A) Anthropometry B) Arthrology C) Osteology D) Jointology E) Myology ANSWER: E The agonist is: A) The muscle that contracts and shortens the distance between two bones B) The muscle that relaxs and lengthens the distance between two bones C) The part of the muscle that links the tendon and muscle D) The lengthening muscle under tension E) A type of contraction that involves same speed movement ANSWER: A Cardiac muscle has a unique structure facilitating the transmission the contraction.  It is called: A) Meniscus B) Intercalated disc  C) Myosin D) Actin E) Sacroplasmic Reticulum  ANSWER: B The component of the muscle that is non contractile is termed: A) Connective Tissue B) Striated fibres C) Series components D) Passive components E) Parallel components ANSWER: D Cardiac muscle has a unique structure facilitating the transmission the contraction.  It is called: A) Meniscus B) Intercalated disc  C) Myosin D) Actin E) Sacroplasmic Reticulum  ANSWER: B All of the following are true characteristics of an isometric contraction EXCEPT: A) The muscle does not shorten B) They can produce work by tightening to resist a force C) Movement is produced D) The tension produced by the myosin cross-bridges cannot overcome the load placed on the muscle E) Actin and Myosin Cross Bridges are formed ANSWER: C The neurotransmitter secreted at the motor end plates of skeletal muscles is: A) Dopamine B) Norepinephrine C) Acetylcholine D) Epinephrine E) Glutamate ANSWER: C What substance is released into the sarcoplasmic reticulum causing muscle contraction? A) Actin B) Myosin C) Calcium D) Sodium E) Creatine Phosphate ANSWER: C A motor unit is most correctly described as a motor neuron and the: A) Sacromere B) Myofibril C) Filaments D) Muscle Fibres E) Troponin ANSWER: D All of the following are true characteristics of an isometric contraction EXCEPT: A) The muscle does not shorten B) They can produce work by tightening to resist a force C) Movement is produced D) The tension produced by the myosin cross-bridges cannot overcome the load placed on the muscle E) Actin and Myosin Cross Bridges are formed ANSWER: C The neurotransmitter secreted at the motor end plates of skeletal muscles is: A) Dopamine B) Norepinephrine C) Acetylcholine D) Epinephrine E) Glutamate ANSWER: C What substance is released into the sarcoplasmic reticulum causing muscle contraction? A) Actin B) Myosin C) Calcium D) Sodium E) Creatine Phosphate ANSWER: C A motor unit is most correctly described as a motor neuron and the: A) Sacromere B) Myofibril C) Filaments D) Muscle Fibres E) Troponin ANSWER: D The part of the nervous system that transmits impulses from the CNS to skeletal (voluntary) muscle is the: A) Somatic nervous system B) Autonomic nervous system C) Afferent nervous system D) Central nervous system E) Dorsal root ganglion ANSWER: A
