Q

relate myoglobin and hemoglobin

A

myoglobin-stores O2
hemoglobin- carries O2

24
Q

what muscles are rich in myoglobin

A

long lasting muscles

25
Q

result of inc lactic acid, loss of ATP, loss of creatine and low O2

A

muscle fatigue

26
Q

how does repeated exercise overcome inc lactic acid build up

A

inc blood supply to muscles

27
Q

what would cause muscle fatigue followed by cramping

A

water- dehydration

28
Q

compare a muscle twitch to muscle tetany

A

twitch- short quick contraction
tetany- long sustained contractions

29
Q

compare fast twitch and slow twitch muscle fibers

A

fast- short, quick contraction
slow- long, aerobics

30
Q

when most muscles are a combination of slow and fast twitch muscles it means

A

genetics
