Front Back
High frequency sounds deflect the basilar membrane _________oval window where it is ________.
Closer to the : narrow and stiff
The amplitude of a sound is determined by ________.
The degree of deflection of the steriocilia on the stimulated hair cells
Whether a hair cell in the semicircular canal of the vestibular apparatus is depolarized or hyperpolarized is dependent upon the _______.
Direction the stereocillia on the hair cells are bent
_______ taste receptor cells have extracellular receptors that bind to monosaccharides.
Sweet
In order to be smelled a substance must be:
Volatile so that it enters the nasal epithelium.
The ________ is an intracellular storage site for calcium in muscle fibers.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Which of the following parts of muscle contraction and relaxation require ATP?
All of the above require ATP
Calcium regulates muscle contraction:
By binding to troponin which moves tropomyosin off the binding sites for myosin on actin allowing cross bridges to form.
Excitation contraction coupling occurs because:
T-tubules propagate action potentials to the interior of the muscle fibers causing the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.
The slowest but most efficient way muscle fibers have for regenerating ATP is through _______.
Aerobic respiration
Your postural muscles that have to sustain contraction for long periods of time primarily use ______ from the _______ to make ATP.
Fatty acids : plasma
Which of the following would increase the strength of a muscle’'s contraction?
Recruit larger muscle fibers in the muscle.
If you are looking at a muscle fiber under the microscope and it has a small diameter, is dark red in appearance and has many mitochondria you are looking at what type of muscle fiber?
Slow twitch oxidative
Which of the following is a possible reason for muscle fatigue:
All of the above.
Which of the following plasma proteins are not produced by the liver?
Gamma globulins/antibodies
