Anatomy and Physiology CSCS Flashcards
Muscle force and resistance are on opposite sides of the fulcrum
1st class lever
triceps pushdowns are considered this type of lever
1st class lever
the moment arm of the force is LONGER than the moment arm of the resistance. Rare.
2nd class lever
an example of this lever is a calf raise
2nd class lever
this lever class is a mechanical advantage
2nd class lever
the moment arm of the muscle is SHORTER than the moment arm of the resistance
3rd class lever
this lever is a mechanical disadvantage for the muscle
3rd class lever
examples of this lever are the bicep curl, leg extension, and most muscles
3rd class lever
internally generated force
muscle force
externally generated force
resistive force
work
force x displacement
power
work/time
impulse
change in momentum
motor unit firing rate
rate coding
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ season includes: more max strength great base after hypertrophy drive type 2 motor unit activation foundation for power training
preseason
\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ season includes: more speed/power neurophysiological adaptation transient gains (breif) most sport specific
in season
muscle hypertrophy
- increased actin and myosin (myofibrillar proteins)
- increased muscle pennation angle
axial skeleton
skull
ribcage
vertebrae
appendicular skeleton
everything but the skull, ribcage, and vertebrae
tendon
attaches muscle to bone
strain
tendon
sprain
ligament
ligament
attaches bone to bone
isotonic
constant tension as a muscle changes length
isokinetic
constant speed
muscle fiber that is oxidative
type 1
type of muscle fiber that is a mix of oxidative and glycolytic
Type 2a
type of muscle fiber that is glycolytic
type 2
what is fascia?
thin layer of connective tissue surrounding different layers of the muscle
layers of fascia
epimysium
perimysium
endomysium
epimysium
outermost layer that surrounds the entire muscle
perimysium
surrounds the motor unit
endomysium
surrounds one muscle fiber
fascicle
a bundle of muscle fibers, aka cells that contain a motor unit aka nerve
motor units are supplied by ___ nerve
1
all or none principal
all muscle fibers contract at the same time
henneman size principal
contract all type 1
then type 2a
then type 2x
contractile unit of the muscle
smallest unit of the muscle
made up of actin and myosin
sarcomeres
z disc
the walls of the sarcomere
a band
the length of the myosin, never changes length
i band
contains only actin
shortens when a muscle contracts
h zone
contains only myosin
shortens when muscle contracts
when a muscle relaxes, what do the z lines do?
get farther apart
when a muscle contracts, what do the z lines do?
get closer
sliding filament theory
row boat
myosin pulls the actin to shorten the muscle
tropomyosin
roper around actin
covers up the sport where myosin binds
troponin
pulls tropomyosin out of the way when activated by calcium
