- 54Define PhysiologyThe study of the normal function of the human body
- 55Define TwitchA single contraction in response to a brief threshold stimulation (in this context is different from involuntary twitching of a muscle)
- 56Define Threshold StimulationSmallest amount of stimulation that will result in contraction
- 57Define Latent PeriodTime between stimulation and tension development
- 58Define Contraction PeriodMuscular contraction develops tension
- 59Define Relaxation PeriodTension is removed from the muscle (longer than the contraction period)
- 60Define Tetanic ContractionsOccurs when a motor unit has been maximally stimulated by its motor neuron. This occurs when a muscle's motor unit is stimulated by multiple impulses at a sufficiently high frequency. Each stimulus causes a twitch, therefore, it causes multiple twitches
- 61Define Wave SummationOccurs if the muscle is stimulated again before the muscle is relaxed
- 62Define Motor UnitMotor neuron + muscle fibres it supplies (the muscle fibres innervated by a motor neuron); activate the motor neuron and all fibres it supplies are activated simultaneously
- 63Define Muscle ToneThe resting tension in the skeletal muscle
- 64Define Motor Unit RecruitmentNeeds enough motor units to match the weight to be lifted before it can be
- 65Define Isometric ContractionThe muscle does not change length
- 66Define Isotonic ConctractionThe muscle length changes without additional tension development (isotonic = same tension); tension develops to a point and then remains constant while the muscle changes its length (when we move our limbs); two types = concentric contraction and eccentric contraction
- 67Define Concentric ContractionMuscle shortens
- 68Define Eccentric ContractionMuscle Lengthens
- 69Define GlycolosisThe breakdown of glucose to produce ATP
- 70Define TwitchA single contraction in response to a brief threshold stimulation (in this context is different form involuntary twitching)
- 71Define Threshold StimultionSmallest amount of stimulation that will result in contraction
- 72Define Latent PeriodTime between stimulation and tension development
- 73Define Contraction PeriodMuscular contraction develops tension

- 77Define Motor UnitMotor neuron + muscle fibres it supplies
- 78Define Muscle Tonethe resting tension in the skeletal muscle
- 79Define Motor Unit RecruitmentNeeds enough motor units to match the weight to be lifted before it can be
- 80Define DepolarisedDecrease in membrane potential; inside of cell becomes less negative than the resting potential (closer to 0); first phase of action potential
- 81Define RepolarisedCell membrane become more negative; second phase of action potential
- 82Define HyperpolarisedIncrease in membrane potential; inside the membrane becomes more negative than the resting membrane potential; third and last phase of action potential
- 83Define Graded PotentialChanges in the membrane potential; are local, short and spread in all directions from where they start; can be depolarising or/and hyperpolarising
- 84Define Action PotentialA brief reversal of membrane potential with a total amplitude (change in voltage) of about 100mV; depolarisation is followed by repolarisation and often a short period of hyperpolarisation; only occurs in the axon; are self propagating; travel in one direction (2 gates open, 1 gate closes); can travel very far
