The top long-distance runners probably have _______ proportion of slow muscle fibers in their leg muscles.
 
  A. a higher
  B. a lower
  C. the same



(Question 2) In a lab, wave summation is demonstrated by increasing the _________ of the stimulus.
 
  A.  intensity
  B.  frequency
  C.  capacitance
  D.  warm up time



(Question 3) Which contraction occurs when you try (unsuccessfully) to move a wall?
 
  A.  Isometric
  B.  Isotonic



(Question 4) .  During REM sleep, muscle tone decreases significantly.
 
  Indicate whether this statement is true or false.



(Question 5) A continuous, smooth contraction of muscle in which twitches are fully fused is referred to as _________.
 
  Fill in the blank with correct word.



(Question 6) Staircase and warming-up effect refer to ___________, an increased muscle response to a constant stimulus.
 
  A. wave summation
  B. treppe
  C. multiple motor unit summation
  D. incomplete tetany
  E. isotony



(Question 7) Muscle tone is a result of _________ nervous system activity, and it acts to _________ joint position.
 
  A.  involuntary, stabilize
  B.  involuntary, continuously vary

(Question 8) In a graph of wave summation, the tension level returns to baseline between each peak of force.
 
  Indicate whether this statement is true or false.



(Question 9) Consider the difference between lifting a light pad of paper versus a heavy textbook. The primary way the level of force of muscle contraction is controlled is by
 
  A. recruiting a different number of motor units.
  B. activating different regions of the muscle.
  C. activating the motor units at a different frequency.
