As lactate accumulates, a person develops an ___ that must be repaid.
An increase in the number of motor units being activated during a contraction is called___.
Origin: Anterior surface of humerus Insertion: Lateral surface of radius above styloid process Action: Flexes forearm at elbow
Origin: Bodies and transverse processes of lumbar vertebrae Insertion: Lesser trochanter femur Action: Flexes thigh at hip

They help force the contents of certain tubular organs along their lengths. They can occur in the small intestines.
Even when a muscle appears to be at rest, its fibers undergo some sustained contraction.
A skeletal muscle fiber normally does not contract until the neurotransmitter____ stimulates it.
The less movable end of the muscle is called its____.
Other layers of connective tissue, that extend inward from the epimysium and separate the muscle tissue into small sections called fascicles.
Red blood cells carry the oxygen, loosely bound to molecules of ___, the protein responsible for the red color of blood.
