- Your friend Chad is carrying some firewood in his outstretched arms. While his eyes are closed because of the wood dust, you drop a concrete brick on top of the wood he is carrying and he drops everything he was holding. You are surprised, as Chad is quite strong and should be able to hold the wood and the brick. While you are running away from an angry Chad, you remember that the reason he dropped the load he was carrying is because: Choose one. The extra load caused his muscles to lengthen, which activated his muscle spindles, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons. O The extra load led to an increase in the force his muscles were exerting, which activated his golgi tendon organs, causing reflex inhibition of his alpha motor neurons.

You place the bar on your back and begin to take in, that is, your motor neurons begin to send action potentials through all your motor units to the thigh muscles. What is the contraction called when you a) bend down and b) are in good shape and can generate more force than the bar weighs c) stay standing in one and the same position without being able to push yourself up in a standing position?arrow_forward
- When electrically stimulating a skeletal muscle and measuring the force of muscle contraction, which of the following are true? Check All That Apply Increasing the stimulus will increase the muscle contraction force. The recruitment of motor units will increase the muscle contraction force. One weak stimulus will cause an increase in muscle contraction force. Increasing the force will increase the muscle contraction stimulus. Once maximum stimulus has been reached, the muscle will not contract with increased force.arrow_forwardA patient undergoing an MRI is surrounded by a tubeshaped scanner.

A gymnast is able to maintain a steady posture while on a balance beam. In order to maintain balance, the gymnast would need to see the balance beam and determine where her feet are touching it.

He has just been peeing in the woods when he starts sawing. His son plays football next door. The son gets a foul and shoots Henrik in the head !! He stumbles and the accident occurs. The hand comes against the saw blade and tears off 2 fingers !!! He bleeds profusely, and loses at least 1L of blood before the ambulance arrives. When the ambulance staff is on site, they take their blood pressure and see that it is very low and they go to the hospital very quickly. Once inside the hospital, he gets a catheter and he sees that there was some urine in the bladder. Since Henrik teaches about kidney function, he immediately starts thinking about what he read about the kidney's reaction to greatly reduced blood volume as a result of ex. an injury. Describe how the thoughts go through Henrik's head as he thinks through step by step how the textbook describes: a) the kidney's reaction (from the afferent…arrow_forwardIn making maximal-effort arm movements (e.g., throwing, striking, projecting an object as far and fast as possible), why do humans often generate muscle force in a sequential pattern, starting from the trunk muscles, moving outward down the arm, and ending with the hand muscles—like a whip?arrow_forward
