What are the three types of muscle tissue? - CORRECT
ANSWERS- Skeletal, Cardiac, and Smooth
What is an EPSP? - CORRECT ANSWERS- Graded potential leads
to membrane becoming LESS negative, leading to an action
potential if cell membrane reaches -55mV
What is an IPSP? - CORRECT ANSWERS- Graded potential
leading to membrane become MORE negative (hyperpolarized),
inhibiting an action potential

ANSWERS- Non-striated, involuntary, uninucleated, autonomic
nervous control

extension of the Pia Mater which attaches the spinal cord to
coccygeal segment
What is an isometric contraction? - CORRECT ANSWERS-

of muscle changes, but tension does not
What is a concentric isotonic contraction? - CORRECT
ANSWERS- Muscle shortens

ANSWERS- Muscle lengthens
What is an agonist? - CORRECT ANSWERS- Prime mover
What is an antagonist? - CORRECT ANSWERS- Opposes action
of the prime mover
