25
sarcomere
the smallest contractile unit of muscle
26
Myosin and actin filaments are organized
longitudinally in sarcomeres
27
action potential from a motor nerve signals
the release of calcium from SR into myofibril causing tension in muscle
28
sliding filament theory and phases
actin filaments at each end of sarcoere slide inward on myosin filaments, pulling z lines toward the center of the sarcomere and thus shortening the muscle fiber Resting, excitation, contraction, recharge, relaxation
29
resting phase
Little calcium is present in the myofibril (most of it is stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum) so very few myosin cross bridges are bound to actin
30
excitation-contraction coupling
When the SR is stimulated to release calcium ions, which bond with troponin, causing a shift to occur in tropomyosin, myosin crossbridge now attaches much more rapidly to actin filament
31
contraction phase
energy for pulling power stroke comes from hydrolysis (breakdown) of ATP to ADP
32
Recharge phase
Occurs as long as calcium is available in the myofibril, ATP is available to assist in uncoupling the myosin from the actin, and sufficient active myosin ATPase is available for catalyzing the breakdown of ATP
33
relaxation phase
Occurs when the stimulation of the motor nerve stops. Calcium is pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum which prevents the link between the actin and myosin filaments
34
Contraction of a Myofibril
- (a) In stretched muscle the I-bands and H-zone are elongated, and there is low force potential due to reduced crossbridge-actin alignment. - (b) When muscle contracts (here partially), the I-bands and H-zone are shortened. - (c) With completely contracted muscle, there is low force potential due to reduced crossbridge-actin alignment.
35
Steps of muscle contraction
-initiation of atp splitting, causing myosin head to be energized allowing it to form a bond with actin Myosin head changes shape and shifts, pulling the actin filament toward center of sarcomere (powerstroke) ADP is released Another ATP will bind to myosin head and head will detach from actin Myosin head is ready to bond to another actin and cycle restarts
36
Extent of control of a muscle depends on
the number of fibers within each unit
37
action potential at nerve terminal causes
release of acetylcholine, once enough acetylcholine is released action potential is generated across sarcolemma and fiver contracts
38
precise muscle fibers may have as few as
one muscle fiber per motor neuron
39
muscles that require less precision may have
hundreds of fibers by one motor neuron
40
all-or-none principle
all of the muscle fibers in the motor unit contract and develop force at the same time. Cannot produce a stronger contraction and cannot only activate "some" of the fibers
41
Tetanus
the maximal amount of force a motor unit can develop
42
Type 1 fibers
Slow twitch efficient and fatigue resistant. great aerobic energy supply. Low force development potential
43
Type IIa fibers
Fast twitch Inefficient and fatigable as they have low aerobic power. rapid force and high ATPase activity
44
Type IIx fibers
fast twitch. Show less reistance to fatigue than type IIa
45
How can athletes improve force production?
Incorporate phases of training that use heavier loads in order to optimize neural recruitment. Increase the cross-sectional area of muscles involved in the desired activity. Perform multimuscle, multijoint exercises that can be done with more explosive actions to optimize fast-twitch muscle recruitment.
46
Proprioceptors
specialized sensory receptors that provide the central nervous system with information needed to maintain muscle tone and perform complex coordinated movements
47
Muscle Spindles
When a muscle is stretched the muscle spindle activates the sensory neuron, sends an impulse to the spinal cord, synapses with motor neuron causing muscle to contract
48
Golgi tendon organs
when an extremely heavy load is placed on muscle, discharge of GTO occurs The sensory neuron of GTO activates an inhibitory interneuron in the spinal cord which in turn synapses with and inhibits a motor neuron serving the same muscle
49
Heart is made up of two pumps
Right ventricle- pumps blood to lungs Left ventricle- pumps blood to rest of body
50
heart valves
open and close passively depending on pressure gradient
51
conduction system
Controls the mechanical contraction of the heart
52
trasmission of the cardiac impulse through the heart
SA node AV node AV bundle Left and right bundle branches PURKINJE FIBERS
53
electrocardiogram
Recorded at surface of body Graphic representation of electrical activity of heart including Pwave QRS complex and T wave
54
P wave and QRS complex are recordings of
electrical depolarization Pwave- Atria QRS complex- ventricles
55
T wave
repolarization of ventricles
56
Blood vessels operate in what kind of circuit
closed
57
artial system does what
carries blood away from heart
58
venous system does what
returns blood toward heart
59
ateries
rapidly transport blood pump from heart
60
capillaries
exchange oxygen and other substances between blood and interstitial fluid throughout body
61
veins
collect blood from capillaries and gradually converge into larger veins which transport blood back to heart.
62
Hemoglobin
transports oxygen in the blood
63
What facilitates co2 removal
Red blood cells
64
cardiovascular system
transports nutrients and removes waste products while maintaining environment for body's functions. blood transports o2 from lungs to tissues and co2 from tissues to lungs where it is removed.
65
Skeletal muscle pump
Assistance that contracting muscles provide to circulatory system. Contacting muscle compresses veins and blood flows in direction of valves back to heart.
66
air is distributed to the lungs by
trachea, bronchi, and bronchioles before air reaches alveoli where gasses are exchanged
67
movement of air and expired gases in and out of lungs are controlled by
expansion and recoil of lungs
68
expiration
diaphragm relaxes and abdominal structures compress lungs, expelling air
69
inspiration
contraction of diaphragm to create a vacuum in chest allowing air to be drawn into lungs
70
Primary function of the respiratory system
is to exchange oxygen and co2
71
with ventilation, oxygen diffuses
from alveoli into pulmonary blood and co2 diffuses from blood into alveoli
72
is it important to train respiration muscles
Regular exercise is good for maintaining respiratory muscle function this can help preserve pulmonary function with aging it is not necessary to specifically train muscles of respiration unless following surgery or prolonged bed rest
