31
Q

Types of Muscle Contraction?

A

Concentric, Eccentric and Isometric

32
Q

Concentric?

A

Muscles Shortens to produce tension

33
Q

Eccentric?

A

Muscle Lengthens to produce tension

34
Q

Isometric?

A

Muscle contracts but does not change length and no movement is created

35
Q

Muscle contraction steps

A
  1. Nerve Impulse Initiated
  2. NI conducted down Axon to synaptic Cleft
  3. Neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine secreted into synaptic cleft to conduct nerve impulse across gap
  4. If charge is above threshold then contraction
36
Q

What are Motor Neurones?

A

Specialised cells which transmit nerve impulses

37
Q

44
Q

What do Motor Neurones consist of

A
  • Nerve cells (brains or spinal cords)

- Transmit nerve impulses to a group of muscle fibres

45
Q

Motor end plates

A

-connect group of muscle fibres to the axon of motor neurones

46
Q

Axon

A

-extension of motor neurones that connect the main cell and muscle fibres

47
Q

Motor Unit

A
  • Motor neurone and the muscle fibres that it activates

- Strength of contraction is determined by how many units are recruited

48
Q

All or None law

A

-Either all muscle fibres contract or not

49
Q

Action Potential

A

-postive electrical charge inside nerve/muscles cells which conducts nerve impulse down motor neurone into muscle fibres

50
Q

Neuromuscular junction

A

-point where axons motor end plates meet muscle fibre

51
Q

Synaptic Cleft

A

-gap between motor plate and muscle fibre

52
Q

Neurotransmitter

A
  • Action potential cannot cross synapse without Acetylcholine
  • secreted by neurone in synapse helping action potential
