Which of the below describes the muscle spindle's afferents with the fastest conduction velocity (meters per second)? Group 1a (A-alpha axons) - primary afferents Group II (A-beta axons) - secondary afferents Group 1b (A-alpha axons) - primary afferents

37 Nerve "A" has 40 axons, each of which is 1 micrometre in diameter. Nerve "B" has 10 axons, each of which is 30 micrometres in diameter. If you recorded the peak and duration of the compound action potential from these nerves, you would expect A Nerve A to have a smaller peak and shorter duration than Nerve B B Nerve A to have a larger peak and longer duration than Nerve B C Nerve A to have a larger peak but duration would not be different from Nerve B D Nerve A to have a smaller peak and longer duration relative to Nerve B E Nerve A to have a larger peak and shorter duration than Nerve B 38 In an experiment using a stimulus strength that activates all axons in the sciatic nerve of the cane toad, increasing the temperature of frog Ringer’s solution that the nerve is bathed in will NOT affect A the time it takes for all axons in the bundle to complete the response B the latency of the compound action potential generated C the time it takes for the cell membrane to depolarise D the number of compound action potentials generated E the duration of the compound action potential generated 39 Which of the following statements about the peak contractile force (CF) generated by the gastrocnemius muscle of the cane toad is CORRECT? A Applying successive stimuli at a rate of 1 pulse per second (1 Hz) will lead to a greater peak CF than 20 pulses per second (20 Hz) B Decreasing stimulus strength above the voltage that recruits all motor units will lead to an increase in peak CF C Changing the passive force applied to the muscle will lead to a change in peak CF D Changing the position of stimulating electrodes will lead to a change in peak CF E Increasing stimulus strength above the voltage that recruits all motor units will lead to an increase in peak CF

Similar in males and females d. Only influenced by gender in children.
