Question 3:
The outer layer of a muscle cell or muscle fiber is called the ……………….
o sacolemma
o sarcoplasmic reticulum
o sarcomere
o sarcoplasm
Question 4:

sarcolemma and this membrane dips into the body of the muscle fiber. This dip is
called a …………..
o t-tubule
o triad
o terminal cysterna
Question 7:
An action potential moves from a neurone to a muscle fiber across a ……………
o neuromuscular junction
o neurotransmitter
o presynaptic membrane
o ligand gated channel
o post synaptic membrane
Question 8:
A …………… consists of a single neurone and all the muscle fibers it innervates.
o muscle fiber
o muscle contraction
o motor unit
o muscle twitch
Question 9:
Postural muscles are able to increase their tension without changing their length. Ths
is an example of an isometric contraction.
o isotonic contraction
o isometric contraction
Question 10:
……………….. of a muscle is its capacity to be able to extend beyond its normal resting
length and still be able to contract.
o Contractility
o Excitability
o Extensibility
o Elasticity
o Muscle A is the pectoralis major
o Muscle B is the serratus anterior
o Muscle C is the external abdominal oblique
o Muscle D is the rectus abdominis
o Muscle E is the transverse abdominis
Muscle A is the gluteus maximus
Muscle B is the gluteus medius
Both muscles A and B attach superiorly to C, which is
the iliac crest and posteriorly to D, the femur
