Question

Which of the following describes the process of activation of a Golgi Tendon Organ, when there is increasing tension in an agonist muscle? Once the GTO stretch threshold is reached, an impulse is sent to the CNS which causes the muscle to contract and facilitates the activation of the agonist muscle. Once the GTO stretch threshold is reached, an impulse is sent to the PNS which causes the muscle to relax and facilitates the activation of the antagonist muscle. Once the GTO stretch threshold is reached, an impulse is sent to the PNS which causes the muscle to contract and facilitates the activation of the agonist muscle. Once the GTO stretch threshold is reached, an impulse is sent to the CNS which causes the muscle to relax and facilitates the activation of the antagonist muscle.

Below are steps of skeletal muscle excitation and contraction (i.e., excitation-contraction coupling). Arrange the statements in the correct order in which they occur. 1. very low calcium in sarcoplasm, actin and myosin unbound, troponin and tropomyosin in plasma 2. myosin heads firmly bound to actin 3. sodium rushes into muscle fiber, causing local depolarization, and the end plate potential (type of graded potential) 4. activation of L-type voltage-gated calcium channels 5. calcium binds troponin on sarcomeres of myofibril 6. muscle action potential travels down sarcolemma and t-tubules 7. motor neuron action potential travels down axon, stimulating ACh release from terminals 8. threshold is reached and muscle action potential is generated 9. ACh diffuses across synapse and binds to ligand-gated receptors at muscle end plate 10. calcium diffuses out of sarcoplasmic reticulum, raising concentration in sarcoplasm (End of Excitation Steps) 11. myosin quickly breaks phosphate bond of ATP 12. myosin heads weakly bind actin 13. ADP released from the ATP binding site of myosin 14. activation of calcium release channels 15. tropomyosin slides out of position, off myosin binding sites on actin 16. free phosphate group released from the ATP binding site of myosin 17. new ATP molecule binds to open ATP binding site of myosin 18. myosin heads swing forward, towards the M line of the sarcomere (i.e., power stroke) 19. myosin becomes re-energized and bound with ADP+P, ready to contract again and repeat the cycle

00:02 First, the correct answer is d i .e.
00:05 Motor unit recruitment.
00:09 This means that the motor units are recruited the force of contraction increases.
00:18 Second, the answer is option c.
00:23 Gap junctions allow for rapid spread of electrical signals between cardiac muscle cell allowing for coordinated contraction.
00:42 Next is the answer is option c.
00:47 Acetylcholine receptors are membrane proteins that bind to acetylcholine...
