ch 10 pt 6 anatomy Flashcards
What is myokinase?
Phosphate transferred from one ADP to another to make ATP
3 ways to generate additional ATP in skeletal muscle fiber?
Creatine phosphate, glycolysis, aerobic cellular respiration
What is myoglobin?
A protein found in skeletal muscle that helps store and transport oxygen
What is creatine phosphate?
Immediate energy source, phosphate can transfer to ADP to form ATP
What is glycolysis?
Short-term energy source, no oxygen needed, glucose is converted to two pyruvate molecules, occurs in cytosol
What is aerobic cellular respiration?
Requires oxygen, long-term energy source in the mitochondria - myoglobin,
What is lactate dehydrogenase?
Pyruvate converted to lactate
Lactic acid cycle
Cycling of lactate to liver where it converts to glucose and transports back to muscle
What is oxygen debt?
Amount of additional oxygen needed after exercise
Skeletal muscle fibers classified based on
Type of contraction generated and means for supplying ATP
What is type of contraction generated?
Differences in power, speed, and duration
What is fast-twitch fibers?
Powerful, quick, brief contraction
What is slow-twitch fibers?
Not as powerful, slow, longer contraction
Primary means for supplying ATP
Oxidative versus glycolytic fibers
What are oxidative fibers?
Cellular respiration, red fibers, lots of blood vessels
What are glycolytic fibers?
Glycolysis, white fibers, fatigable
