Which of the following are characteristics of anisotonic muscle twitch?

  1. The length of the muscle remains constant
  2. The length of the muscle remains constant and latent periodthan in an isometric twitch
  3. The muscle shortens at a constant velocity and the length ofthe latent period is longer than in an isometric twitch
  4. The muscle shortens at a constant velocity

The afferent division of the peripheral nervoussystem

  1. Transmits action potentials to sensory organs
  2. Conveys action potentials to the CNS
  3. Neither transmits action potentials to sensory organs norconveys action potentials to the CNS

The resting potential of a neuron. E.g. -70mv:         

  1. There is a net flux of positive ions out the cell
  2. There is a net flux of positive ions into the cell
  3. The influx of Na+ ions through its channel is equal to theefflux of K+ ions through K channels
  4. The influx of Na+ ions through NA channel is greater than theefflux of K+ through K channels

Relative refectory period occurs when:

  1. K+ gates are closed
  2. K+ gates are open
  3. Ca++ gates are open

Steroid hormones produce their effects by

  1. Combining with receptors located on the surface of cellmembranes
  2. Causing cyclic AMP to be produced
  3. Activating the action of genes

1 Option C is correct The muscle shortens at a constant velocity and the length of the latent period is longer than in an isometric twitch In isotonic contractions the tension in the muscle remains constant and the length of the muscle changes as a load is moved A concentric    See Answer
