43
Q

Describe cardiac muscle

A

Pumps blood under involuntary control. Cylindrical and striated. Found in the heart.

44
Q

Describe skeletal muscle

A

40% of animal body weight. Moves the body under voluntary control. Striated cells or fibers. Attached to bone or other connective tissue

45
Q

Fascia

A

Type of connective tissue found in muscles. There are three types. Epimysium, Perimysium and Endomysium.

46
Q

Epimysium

A

Outer layer that covers the entire muscle

47
Q

Perimysium

A

Surrounds bundles of muscle fibers. Long, cylindrical and vary in shape

48
Q

Endomysium

A

Layer of fascia that surrounds the individual muscle fibers

49
Q

Myofibrils

A

Light and dark bands give muscle the striated appearance. Individual bands are called sacromeres which contain proteins actin and myosin.

50
Q

Origin of a muscle

A

Fixed end or head. Most stationary end of a muscle. Most often the proximal attachment.

51
Q

Insertion of a muscle

A

Mobile end of a muscle undergoing the greatest amount of movement. Usually more distal.

52
Q

Cell body

A

Contained within the spinal column and contains nucleus

53
Q

Dendrites

A

Branch off the cell body and allow for communication between other neurons

54
Q

Nucleus

A

Centre of the cell body, and contains all info for the cell

55
Q

Axon

A

Main component of signal transmission. Carries signal from cell body to the muscle.

56
Q

Motor end plate

A

Neuromuscular junction where the neuron joins the muscle fibre

57
Q

Synapse

A

Gap between the neuron and muscle fiber in which a neurotransmission travels and stimulates muscle

58
Q

Myelin sheath

A

Protein cover which protects and insulates the axon

59
Q

Explain the role of neurotransmitters in stimulating skeletal muscle contraction

A

Acetylcholine triggers a chain reaction that eventually results in the exposure of the binding sites of the actin.

Choline stressed removed the acetylcholine once the action potential signal is gone, so the binding sites are no longer exposed and the muscle can no longer contract.

60
Q

Explain the sliding filament theory

A

1) electrical signal travels to end of motor end plate, triggering release of acetylcholine into synapse
2) acetylcholine causes a signal called an action potential to be sent along the muscle fibers
3) action potential travels down the T tubules towards the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggering the release of Calcium ions
4) Calcium ions attach to Troponin on the actin moving the tropomyosin and exposing the binding site
5) adenosine triposphate (ATP) on the myosin heads are chemically broken down to adenosine diphosphate producing energy for myosin to attach and pull the actin.
6) myosin heads release from actin, ATP reattaches and the process continues as long as the electrical signal is present
7) during contraction the Z-lines are pulled closer together, making the H-zone smaller until it disappears as the actin overlaps. A-bands remain the same length throughout contraction.
8) once electrical signal is not longer present, acetylcholine is removed by cholinesterase, calcium is returned to sarcoplasmic reticulum and myosin heads return to resting state away from the actin.

61
Q

Slow twitch muscle fibers (type 1)

A
  • More efficient at using oxygen
  • Continuous muscle contractions over an extended period of time
  • Can keep going for a long time before they fatigue since they fire slower than other types
  • good for endurance athletes
62
Q

Fast twitch muscle fibers (type 2a)

A
  • uses aerobic and anaerobic metabolism to create energy
  • combo of type 1 and type 2
  • good for short bursts of activity (explosive burst of power)
  • stop and go sports
  • maximum output activities (weightlifting, track and field events)
63
Q

Fast twitch muscle fibers (type 2b)

A
  • most fatiguable
  • can generate the most power/force
  • contractions last about 7.5 milliseconds
  • burst of power in short amount of time
64
Q

Abduction

A

Movement away from the midline of the body

65
Q

Adduction

A

Movement towards the midline of the body

66
Q

68
Q

Rotation

A

The process of turning around an axis

69
Q

Medial rotation

A

Turning towards the midline of the body

70
Q

76
Q

Plantar flexion

A

Movement of the foot that flexes foot or toes downwards

77
Q

Dorsi flexion

A

Flexion towards the back, bringing top of foot towards leg

78
Q

Supination

A

To turn or rotate the arm outward so that the palm is facing up; to turn or rotate the foot by adduction and inversion so the outer edge of the sole bears all of the body’s weight

79
Q

Pronation

A

To turn or rotate the arm inward so that the palm is facing downward; to turn or rotate the foot by adduction and Eversion so the inner edge of the sole bears all of the body weight

80
Q

Isotonic contractions

A

Same tension or same force

81
Q

Concentric contractions

A

Those which cause the muscle to shorten as it contracts. The ends of the muscle are drawn together.

82
Q

Eccentric contractions

A

Opposite of concentric. The muscle lengthens as it contracts. Lower oxygen cost than concentric.

83
Q

Isometric contractions

A

No change in length of contracting muscle. (Planks)

84
Q

Isokinetic contractions

A

Muscle changes length during contraction, however they produce movements at a constant speed. Very rare, used in rehab mostly.

85
Q

Agonist

A

Muscle that shortens causing movement in the joint (prime mover)

86
Q

Antagonist

A

The muscle that relaxes in response to the agonist. Acting in opposition to the agonist.

87
Q

Reciprocal inhibition

A

One muscle is contracting, the muscle with the opposing action relaxes. Controlled by the nervous system.

88
Q

Analyse movements in relation to joint action and muscle contraction

A

1) bicep curl- elbow flexion, bicep brachii concentric contraction, tricep brachii eccentric relaxation
2) lunge (downward)- flexion of knee and hip, quadriceps eccentrically contract, hamstrings concentrically relax

3) kicking a ball- LOAD: hip adduction and extension, knee flexion, ankle plantar flexion, hamstring concentric contraction, quads eccentrically relax.
CONTACT: hip adduction, knee extension, ankle plantar flexion, quads concentric contraction, hamstrings eccentric relaxation
FOLLOW THROUGH: hip flexion, knee extension, ankle plantar flexion

89
Q

What is Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness? (DOMS)

A

When muscles are sore or stiff 1+ days after exercise. Microscopic tearing of muscle fibers and swelling. Adaptation process our bodies go through when exercise is increased, or just started.

90
Q

Do types of muscle contractions effect DOMS?

A

Eccentric muscle contractions cause the most soreness, because they produce more force.

91
Q

How to deal avoid/deal with DOMS

A
  • warm up/cool down
  • gradually increase time and intensity
  • gentle stretching
  • low impact aerobics to cool down
  • sports massage
  • yoga/gentle stretching
  • anti-inflammatories (aspirin, ibuprofen)
