antagonist - middle deltoid
shoulder joint, medial rotation (lateral rotation)
transverse
agonist - teres major, subscapularis
antagonist - teres minor
shoulder joint, horizontal flexion (horizontal extension)
transverse
agonist - pectoralis major
antagonist - posterior deltoid
action potential
an electrochemical process that creates muscle contractions
motor unit
1 motor neurone and the muscle fibres attatched
neurotransmitter
A chemical substance that allows an action potential to travel from a motor neuron to the muscle fibres
What is the ‘ferry’ that takes the action potential to the muscle fibre called?
Acetylcholine (Ach)
synaptic cleft
gap between end plate and muscle fibre
4 features of Type 1 fibres
.Slow oxidative .store oxygen (myoglobin) .mitochondria to break down glucose/fats .capillaries .small tension over long time .slow speed - less powerful contraction
4 features of Type 2a fibres
.Fast oxidative glycolytic
.moderate amount of mitochondria, myoglobin and capillaries
.large amount of phosphocreatine - good anaerobic capacity
.fast contraction speed
.partially resistant to fatigue
.large amount of force in each contraction
4 features of Type 2b fibres
.Fast glycolytic
.anaerobic - only for short term
.largest fibre type - largest contraction
.fast contraction/relaxation time
.explosive, power athletes
.large stores of phosphocreatine - immediate energy supply
pathway of blood
right atrium tricuspid valve right ventricle semi lunar valve pulmonary artery lungs pulmonary vein left atrium bicuspid valve left ventricle semi lunar valve aorta body vena cava
bradycardia
RHR below 60bpm
stroke volume (4)
volume of blood ejected from left ventricle in 1 beat
dependent on venous return
plateaus during submaximal exercise
increases during exercise but only to 40-60% of working capacity
cardiac output
volume of blood ejected from heart in 1 minute
SV x HR
end-diastolic volume
volume of blood in ventricle after relaxation phase
EDV - ESV= SV
end-systolic volume
volume of blood in ventricle after contraction phase
EDV - ESV = SV
submaximal exercise
low to moderate exercise
aerobic capacity
maximal exercise
high intensity
induces fatigue
Starling’s law
.SV is dependent on VR
.if VR increases then so does SV (vice versa)
.Increased stretch of ventricle walls during exercise, means more forceful contraction, which leads to higher SV
