2.5.1. Clinical Integration of Muscle Metabolism Flashcards

1
Q

Our muscles use different energy sources at different times. Explain the two general ideas of energy consumption by muscles

A
  1. Glycogen is used immediately, but doesn’t last very long

2. Then our body relies on different sources of stored energy

Q

They are redundant ways for our body to utilize energy and produce motile force. What are the three ways?

A

i. One is an immediate response that uses stores of ATP and phosphocreatine which doesn’t last very long
ii. An intermediate pathway (glycolysis) is anaerobic
iii. The third is long term energy system that is aerobic
