Which of the following statements is true of concentric muscle contractions? (CSLO 6) The force developed by the muscle is less than that of the resistance. Contractions cause movement against gravity or resistance. The body part remains stable against gravity or external forces when concentric muscles contract. Contractions result in the joint angle changing in the opposite direction of the applied muscle force.

Which of the following statements about muscle contraction is true? 1) ATP hydrolysis by myosin drives formation of the thick filament 2) ATP hydrolysis by actin is essential to formation of the actin-myosin complex 3) The power stroke occurs during the chemical step of ATP hydrolysis by myosin 4) The Z disk provides an important direct anchor point for myosin thick filaments 5) During the power stroke, the thick and thin filaments slide 5-10 Angstroms with respect to each other

Which of the following is FALSE regarding the steps involved in muscle contractions? I. Calcium binds to tropomyosin as a result of an action potential. II. The action potential flows down the T-tubules of a muscle. III. The myosin head forms a cross bridge with the actin filament. IV. When ATP binds to myosin, a cross bridge is formed. All of the above are FALSE. III and IV are FALSE. I and IV are FALSE. I and II are FALSE. II and III are FALSE.

Which of the following statements concerning types of muscle contractions is false? In isometric contractions, the amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant. In isotonic contractions, the muscle fibers shorten. The contractile processes in isometric and isotonic contractions are the same. Most skeletal muscle contractions are a combination of isometric and isotonic contractions.
