Question 1Which of the following substances is the neurotransmitter released from motor neurons initiating muscle contraction?

Acetylcholine

Norepinephrine

Dopamine

Acetylcholinesterase

Question 2Which statement best describes a sarcomere?

It provides an anchor for the thick and thin filament

Store and release calcium ions into the cell interior for muscle contraction

It is the smallest contractile unit of a muscle fiber

It is the plasma membrane of the muscle fiber

Question 3Which of the following is the first phase of muscle contraction?

Excitation-contraction coupling

Relaxation

 Contraction

Excitation

Question 4Which of the following is true of muscle contraction?

ATP is converted to ADP during a power stroke.

The Z-disks move farther apart during contraction.

The H-zone lengthens during contraction.

The T-tubules release stored sodium and magnesium to initiate an action potential.

Question 5Which of the following directly covers a skeletal muscle?

Endomysium

Epimysium

Sarcolemma

Perimysium

Question 6ATP is needed to release thick and thin filaments so they can reform another cross-bridge.

True

 False

Question 7Which statement is NOT true regarding muscle contraction?

Tropomyosin protein covers the binding sites for the thick filament on the actin protein

The sarcoplasmic reticulum stores the calcium ions that are released within the muscle cell

Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that binds to the sarcolemma

ATP is needed for the thick filament to bind to the thin filament

Question 8The motor end plate is the:

End of the motor neuron that looks like a bulb shape and releases acetylcholine

Portion of a neuron that contains vesicles of acetylcholine

Open space where neurotransmitters move freely

Depression on the sarcolemma where the synaptic knob fits

Question 9Which statement is true regarding muscle contraction?

Tropomyosin protein binds to the actin protein

ATP is needed to release the thick filament from the thin filament

The T-tubules store the calcium ions within the internal part of the muscle cell

The power stroke occurs when the thick filament binds to the thin filament

Question 10Which of the following is true of skeletal muscle tissue?

A muscle cell is composed of hundreds of musclefibers.

Each cell has a single nucleus.

Skeletal muscle cells have the same shape as smooth muscle cells.

A skeletal muscle fiber typically contains a sarcolemma, t-tubules, and myofibrils.

Question 11Which statement is NOT true regarding muscle contraction?

Actin is the protein on the thin filament that binds to the thick filament

The sarcoplasmic reticulum stores the calcium ions that is released within the muscle cell during contraction

Calcium ions bind to the tropomyosin protein

The thick filament is composed of the myosin protein

Question 12Which structure separates one fascicle from another in a muscle?

Endomysium

Fascia

Perimysium

Epimysium

Question 13

Which choice best describes the function T-tubules have within muscle contraction?

Transmit the action potential deep into the muscle cell

Store and release calcium ions into the cell interior for muscle contraction

Help align the thick and thin filament for contraction

Store glycogen

Question 14

Within the sarcomere, an A-band contains:

Thick filaments only

Thin and thick filaments

Thin filaments only

Neither thin nor thick filaments.

Question 15

A motor unit is all the nerves that innervate all of the muscle fibers of one muscle.

True

False

Question 16Which choice best describes the function of myoglobin?

Stores glycogen

It is a specialized protein on the thin filament

It provides a reserve supply of oxygen for the muscle cell

Assists in attaching the thick filament to the thin filament

Question 17Which of the following passes through the sarcoplasm, causing the sarcoplasmic reticulum to open its “gates”?

Sodium

Action potential

Question 18

Anaerobic respiration produces lactic acid as a by-product but creates more ATP for muscle contraction when compared to aerobic respiration.

True

False

Question 19

Fast oxidative muscle fibers do not fatigue quickly due to its rich supply of myoglobin.

It is found mainly within internal organs such as the bladder and uterus

It only contracts through conscious control

Its contraction is controlled by the same mechanism as skeletal muscle

It has a striated appearance when viewed under a microscope
