actin, myosin
myosin, actin
fascia, actin
myosin, keratin
The striations of skeletal muscles form a repeating pattern of small contracting units called
myofibrils
sarcomeres
cross bridges
muscle fibers
The lines that are perpendicular to the striations in skeletal muscle are called z-disks. During contraction, these disks ____ and during relaxation they ______.
separate; come together
come together; separate
stay the same; separate
come together; stay the same
Which of the following structures attaches bones to other bones?
ligament
cartilage
tendon
joint
The muscle highlighted in green, which is one of the muscles of the shoulder is called the
biceps brachii
triceps
deltoid
trapezius
The muscles highlighted in green are called the
latissimus dorsi
pectorials
deltoids
trapezius
The prime mover during forearm flexion is the ______, and the prime mover during forearm extension is the ________.
biceps brachii, triceps
triceps, biceps brachii
biceps brachii, deltoids

The primary neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions is
acetaminophen
dopamine
seratonin
acetylcholine
After the neurotransmitter attaches to its receptors at the neuromusclar junction, what is the next step?
sodium channels open
calcium binds to regulatory proteins on the thin filaments
cross bridges attach
ATP is hydrolyzed
Which are way in which muscle names have been derived
attachment sites
size
movement
All of the above
During a jumping-jack, your arms and legs move away from the midline of your body. This type of movement is called
abduction
adduction
pronation
supination
Most muscles are attached to bones at two locations; the more moveable bone is referred to as the
origin
insertion
fixator
synergist
During the bending of your knee, the hamstrings act as the prime mover. Which muscle group acts as the antagonist?
gastrocnemius
biceps brachii
gracilis
quadriceps
Which choice shows the structures listed in order from largest to smallest?
sarcomere, muscle fiber, myofilament, muscle, myofibril
muscle, muscle fiber, myofibril, myofilament, sarcomere
muscle, myofibril, muscle fiber, sarcomere, myofilament
muscle fiber, muscle, sarcomere, myofilament, myofibril
What is the role of ATP in muscle contractions?
ATP energizes the myosin head and allows it to form cross bridges.
When ATP is hydrolyzed into ADP and Pi, the muscle relaxes.
ATP is required for a muscle to relax by causing the myosin head to break its cross bridge.
ATP is not needed for muscle contractions.
The rectus abdominis and erector spinae muscles help to stabilizing the vertebral column during other movements. During these times, those muscles are acting as
fixators
prime movers
antagonists
secondary movers
Doing squats is one way to strengthen this muscle.
latissimus dorsi
gastrocnemius
gluteus maximus
pectoral
What is the name of the muscles highlighted in green?
rectus abdominus
erector spinae
latissimus dorsi
trapezius
The well defined muscle in this picture that is responsible for this movement is called the
rectus femoris
fibularis longus
sartorius
gastrocnemius
To be able to do this motion your arm must be
pronated
supinated
everted
inverted
This type of motion is known as
rotation
pronation
circumduction
abduction
The muscle of the digestive tract and circulatory system primary serve what function?
regulating the passage of materials
voluntary movements
generating heat
stabilizing joints
The type of involuntary muscle tissue that controls the iris of the eye is known as
cardiac muscle
skeletal muscle
smooth muscle
eye muscle
Shaking your head 'no' is an example of which type of movement?
