The adrenal medulla is important to the sympathetic branch of the autonomic nervous system because it

is considered a modified sympathetic ganglion and releases epinephrine directly into the blood

releases epinephrine and norepinephrine directly into the blood

is considered a modified parasympathetic ganglion

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the size principle of motor unit recruitment?

Slow motor units are recruited first

large, fast motor units are recruited first

small motor units are recruited during high intensity activities

all motor unites are recruited during activities requiring low effort (e.g. walking)

The function of the t-tubules is to

bring action potentials into the interior of the muscle fiber

provide elasticity to the sarcomere

The function of the titin protein is to

stabilize the position of myosin and provide elasticity

release calcium during contraction

cover the myosin binding site on the actin molecule

interact with actin during contraction and provide elasticity

According to the length tension relationship in muscle, the active force output of a muscle

is greatest when sarcomere length allows maximum actin-myosin head overlap (i.e. roughly at the resting length of the muscle)

is greatest when the muscle is stretched to twice its resting length

is not influenced by changes in muscle length

is greatest when the muscle is shortened to its shortest possible length

Calcium is important in the synapse because it

signals the exocytosis of the neurotransmitter

is necessary for acetylcholine synthesis

leaves the axon terminal hyper polarizing the cell

binds to receptors on the postsynaptic cell, opening ion channels, and triggering graded potentials

Huxley offered two observations that led to the sliding filament theory. Select the statement that summarizes one of his observations of muscle during shortening

the A band length did not change, but the I band decreased

the H zone expanded to a length equal to the length of the entire sacromere

the Z lines and the thin filaments were no longer attached

the length of the A band decreased

An important function of the cerebrospinal fluid is to

regulate the extracellular environment of the brain

regulate the number of Schwann cells in the brain

block glucose from entering the brain

increase brain weight by ~30 fold

block substances from crossing the choroid plexus

The resting membrane potential results from

higher membrane permeability to K+

higher membrane permeability to Cl-

A motor unit consists of

one alpha motoneuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates

one axon terminal branch and the myofibrils it controls

one skeletal muscle fibers and the neuron that innervates that fiber

one skeletal muscle fiber and all the alpha motoneurons that control the fiber

Which of the following would increase the amount of neurotransmitter in the synaptic cleft?

blocking the enzymes that inactivate the neurotransmitter

blocking the release of neurotransmitter from presynaptic neuron

increasing neurotransmitter diffusion out of the synaptic cleft

returning more neurotransmitter to the presynaptic neuron for reuse

An individual was in a car accident and hit his head which caused damage to the frontal lobe regions and impacted his ability to plan movements. Which brain regions were damaged in the accident?

primary motor cortex and premotor cortex

primary somatosensory cortex and premotor cortex

primary associative cortex and basal ganglia
