sufficient amount is released, an action potential is generated across the sarcolemma, and the
(muscle)fiber contracts.
Actin and Myosin Answer-contractile proteins in muscle
Action potential Answer-the change in electrical potential associated with the passage of
an impulse along the membrane of a muscle cell or nerve cell.
All-or-none Principle Answer-the strength by which a nerve or muscle fiber responds to a
stimulus is independent of the strength of the stimulus. If the stimulus exceeds the threshold
potential, the nerve or muscle fiber will give a complete response; otherwise, there is no
response.
Alveolar Pressure Answer-the pressure in centimeters of water pressure (cmH2O) held
within the alveoli of the lungs during inspiration. The pressure value is the difference from
atmospheric pressure, which is considered zero when establishing the value.
Alveoli Answer-where gases are exchanged in respiration.
Aortic Valve Answer-prevents backflow from the aorta into the ventricles during
ventricular relaxation (diastole)
Arterial System Answer-Carries blood away from the heart
