Q

Isotonic Contraction

A

Skeletal muscle changes length:
- resulting in motin
If muscle tension resistance:
- muscle shortens (concentric contraction)
if muscle tension < resistance:
- muscle lengthens (eccentric contraction)

21
Q

Isometric Contraction

A

Skeletal muscle develops tension, but is prevented by changing length
Note: iso = same, metric = measure

22
Q

Muscle Relaxation

A

after contraction, a muscle fiber returns to resting length by:
- elastic forces
- opposing muscle contractions
- gravity

23
Q

Elastic Forces

A
  • the pull of elastic elements (tendons and ligaments)
  • expands the sarcomeres to resting length
24
Q

Opposing muscle contractions

A

reverse the direction of the original motion
are the work of opposing skeletal muscle pairs

25
Gravity
Can take the place of opposing muscle contraction to return a muscle to its resting state
26
Atp and muscle contraction
Sustained muscle contraction uses a lot of ATP energy muscles store enemy's energy to start contraction muscle fibers must manufacture more ATP as needed
27
ATP and CP reserves
- Adenosine triphosphate (ATP): - the active energy molecule -Creatine phosphate(CP) - the storage molecule for excess ATP energy in resting muscle
28
ATP Generation
Cells produce ATP in to ways: - Aerobic metabolism of fatty acids in the mitochondria = as long as it has enough oxygen - anaerobic glycolysis in the cytoplasm = When does it produce when you're out of breath.
29
Aerobic Metabolism
Is primary energy source of resting muscles break down fatty acids Produces 34 ATP molecules per glucose molecule
30
Anaerobic Glycolysis
- Is the primary energy source for peak muscular activity - produces 2 ATP molecules per molecule of glucose - breaks down glucose from glycogen stored in skeletal muscles
31
Energy Use and Muscle Activity
At peak exertion: - muscles lack oxygen to support mitochondria - muscles rely on glycolysis for ATP - pyruvic acid builds up, is converted to lactic acid
32
Results of Muscle Fatigue
1. Depletion of metabolic reserves 2. Damage to sarcolemma and sarcoplasmic reticulum 3. Low pH (lactic acid) 4. Muscle exhaustion and pain
33
Muscle Performance
Power: - the maximum amount of tension produced Endurance: - the amount of activity can be sustained Power and endurance depend on: - the types of muscle fibers - physical conditioning
34
what are the 3 skeletal muscle fibers?
1. Fast fibers 2. Slow fibers 3. Intermediate fibers
35
Fast Fibers
- contract very quickly - Have large diameter, large glycogen reserves, few mitochondria - Have strong contractions, fatigue quickly explosive muscle but fatigue quickly
36
Slow Fibers
Are slow to contract, slow to fatigue have small diameter, more mitochondria have high oxygen supply Contain myoglobin (red pigment, binds oxygen)
37
Intermediate Fibers
are mid-sized have low myoglobin have more capillaries than fast fiber, slower to fatigue
38
Muscles and Fiber Types
- White muscle: mostly fast fibers and pale (ex. chicken breast) - Red muscle: mostly slow fibers - dark (ex. chicken legs) Most human muscles: - mixed fibers - pink
39
Muscle Hypertrophy
Muscle growth from heavy training: - increase diameter of muscle fibers - increases number if myofibrils - increases mitochondria, glycogen reserves
40
Muscle Atrophy
lack of muscle activity: - reduces muscle size, tone, and power
41
Anaerobic Endurance
anaerobic activities (ex. 50 meter dah, weightlifting); - use fast fibers - fatigue quickly with strenuous acitivty Improved by: frequent, brief, intensive workouts - hypertrophy
42
Aerobic Endurance
Aerobic activities(prolonged activity): - support by mitochondria - require oxygen and nutrients Improved by: - repetitive training (neural responses) - cardiovascular training
43
Muscle Terminology Based on Function
Agonist= prime mover - produces a particular movement Antagonist - opposes movement of a particular agonist(opposite of agonist)
44
agnost to antagonist
biceps brachii vs Tricepts brachii Pectoralis major vs. Latissimus Dorsi Hamstrings vs quadriceps Trapezius vs Sternocleidomastroid
45
Muscle Terminology Based on Function
Synergist: - a smaller muscle that assists a larger agonist = prime mover - helps start motion or stabilize noggin of agnostic (fixator)
46
Muscle Opposition
Agonists and antagonists workin pairs: - when 1 contracts, the other stretches - flexors-extensors, abductors-adductors
47
6 muscles groups of the head and neck
1. muscles of facial expression: skull 2. extrinsic eye muscles: surface of orbit - control of eye 3.Muscles of mastication: move the mandible 4. muscles of the tongue: names end in glossus 5. Muscles of the pharynx: begin swallowing process 6. Anterior muscles of the neck: - Control position of larynx - depress the man - support tongue and pharynx
48
Extrinsic Eye Muscles
also called extra ocular muscles superior oblique superior rectus lateral rectus inferior rectus inferior oblique
49
3 Muscles of Mastication = chewing
Masseter = most of work - The strongest jaw muscle Temporalis: - helps lift the mandible Pterygoid muscles: - Position mandible for chewing
