E. to inhibit Ca2+ release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

15 Where would you expect to find numerous gap junctions in (which) muscular tissue?

16. Athletes who train at high altitudes increase their red blood cell count and thus increase their oxygen supply during exercise. Increased oxygen supply results in ___________.

17. Which of the following would be caused by contraction of smooth muscle?
A. goose bumps B. elevating the eyebrows C. blinking the eyelids
D. deep inspiration E. blood leaving the left ventricle of the heart

18. The triads of a muscle fiber consist of ______________

19. As you are lifting a box someone places extra weight on top of it. For your muscle to continue contracting and lifting the box, the muscle must

Explanation / Answer

1. The study of muscular system is known as myology.

2. To serve elevated metobolic rate is not responsible for post exercise oxygen consumption in muscles. All the other options are true.

3.Cardiac muscle is solely depends on the extracellular calcium source for it's contraction.

4.Isotonic contraction is defined as change in the length(short or long) of muscle while maintaining a constant tension

5.Threshold potential is defined as a minimal stimulus required to contract a muscle.
