Q

Which activity would be most dependent upon creatine?

A

diving

Creatine phosphate is a molecule that can store energy in its phosphate bonds. … This acts as an energy reserve that can be used to quickly create more ATP. When the muscle starts to contract and needs energy, creatine phosphate transfers its phosphate back to ADP to form ATP and creatine.

Q

How skeletal muscles produce movement: fascicle arrangement

A

-Fascicle arrangement affects a muscles power and range of motion

  • 5 patterns of fascicle arrangement:

  • circular
  • triangular
  • pennate
  • longer fibers produce a greater range of motion
  • power of a muscle depends on its cross-sectional area

Q

Arrangement of fascicles:

PENNATE

A

-Short fascicles attach obliquely to central tendon running length of muscle (e.g., rectus femoris)

  • Three forms:
  • Unipennate – fascicles attach only to one side of tendon (e.g., extensor digitorum longus)
  • Bipennate – fascicles insert from opposite sides of tendon (e.g., rectus femoris)
  • Multipennate –appears as feathers inserting into one tendon (e.g., deltoid)

Q

Muscle mechanics: Lever systems

A

-Levers allow given effort to move heavier load; move load farther or faster

  • Components of lever system:
  • Lever—rigid bar (bone) that moves on a fixed point called fulcrum (joint)
  • Effort—force (supplied by muscle contraction) applied to lever to move resistance (load)
  • Load—resistance (bone + tissues + any added weight) moved by the effort
