Question #1
Cardiac muscle is voluntary and non-striated.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #2
Which of the following step of skeletal muscle contraction is not correct?
A.   Ca+2 binds to troponin which in turn causes movement of tropomyosin
B.   myosin head attaches to G-actin
C.   ATP breaks down causing the myosin head to swivel
D.   movement of tropomyosin "unblocks" the active sites on the G-actin
E.   actin slides past myosin and the sarcomere shortens
Question #3
Complete tetanus results when the stimulus frequency is high enough that the rest periods completely cease.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #4
Which of the following are characteristics of slow skeletal muscle fibers?
A.   lowest ability to resist fatigue and slow contraction velocity
B.   main source of ATP is from anaerobic respiration and lowest ability to resist fatigue
C.   main source of ATP is from anaerobic respiratioc and largest fiber diameter
D.   high concentrations of myoglobin and slow contraction velocity
Question #5
A threshold stimulus will cause each muscle cell within a motor unit to contract maximally.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #6
Which of the following is not true of the mechanism for steroid hormones?
A.   G-protein on the inner surface of the cell membrane is activated, they attach to receptors on the outside of the cell membrane, secondary messengers within the cell are produced or activated and secondary messenger activates or deactivates specific enzymes or open ion channels
B.   secondary messenger activates or deactivates specific enzymes or open ion channels
C.   they attach to receptors on the outside of the cell membrane
D.   G-protein on the inner surface of the cell membrane is activated
E.   secondary messengers within the cell are produced or activated
Question #7
Most water insoluble hormones are transported in the blood unattached (free).
A.   TRUE
B.   FALSE
Question #8
What are the effects of the antidiuretic hormone (ADH) and aldosterone?
A.   increases water reabsorption by the kidneys
B.   increases water reabsorption by the kidney, increases blood volume, decreases urine volume and increases the blood pressure
C.   decreases urine volume
D.   decreases urine volume and increases the blood pressure
Question #9
In males, luteinizing hormone (LH) stimulates spermatogenesis.
A.   FALSE
B.   TRUE
Question #10
How does insulin reduce blood glucose levels?
A.   stimulates the uptake of glucose into the cell, stimulates glucose catabolism and stimulates glycogenesis in skeletal muscles and liver
B.   stimulates amino acid absorption and protein synthesis, stimulates glucose catabolism and stimulates lipogenesis in adipose tissues
C.   stimulates amino acid absorption and protein synthesis, stimulates the uptake of glucose into the cell and stimulates lipogenesis in adipose tissues
Question #11
The following are all effects of the thyroid hormones (TH) except for:
A.   increases heat production
B.   stimulates cellular respiration in almost all cells
C.   inhibits glycogenolysis, fat and protein catabolism
D.   increases the use of oxygen
E.   promotes normal development and function of the nervous, muscular and skeletal systems
