One neuron and all the skeletal muscles it stimulates is known as a ________.
sarcoplasmic reticulum
motor unit
synaptic cleft
neuromuscular junction
The heads of the myosin myofilaments are called ________ when they link the thick and thin filaments together during skeletal muscle contraction.
neuromuscular junctions
synapses
cross bridges
motor units
What is the unstoppable electrical current that travels down the length of the entire surface of a sarcolemma?
Neuromuscular junctions

According to the sliding filament theory, how does muscle contraction occur?
Myosin heads form cross bridges and pull thin filaments, causing them to slide.
Both thick and thin filaments shorten as the muscle contracts.
A bands bunch up and shorten as myosin heads attach to thin filaments.
Myosin heads attach and detach from thin filaments, causing thin filaments to shorten.
Leaning against an immovable wall while waiting for a bus is a type of ________.
isotonic contraction
twitch
isometric contraction
resistance exercise
