Chapter 10 Part 3 Flashcards
Creatine phosphate, anaerobic cellular respiration,aerobic cellular respiration
Muscle fiber replinish ATP 3 methods
Unique to muscle fibers last about 15 seconds
Creatine phosphate
Forms latic acid without oxygen such as strength training for
Anaerobic cellular respiration
Forms ATP with oxygen such as endurance training
Aerobic cellular respiration
Insufficient oxygen and calcium levels,depletion of nutrients and excessive lactic acid
Muscle fatigue factors
Nutrient and oxygen availability -amount of myofilament overlap -number of motor units activated -frequency of nerve impulse stimulation
Muscle tension factors
A brief contraction (single pull) of muscle fibers within a motor unit in response to one nerve impulse
Twitch
Latent; brief delay between stimulus and contraction ; Ca2+ levels increase -contraction period; muscle shortens -relaxation period;Ca 2+ levels decrease
Twitch 3 periods
Consists of one motor neuron and all muscle fibers it stimulates
Motor units
Control precise muscle movements such as vocal cords; one neuron controls a few muscle fibers
Small motor units
Control large powerful muscle movements such as hamstrings; neuron controls many muscle fibers
Large motor units
The amount of ___ inside muscle fibers powers contractions for only a few seconds
ATP
Fastest and most powerful type-produce ATP by anaerobic methos -fatigue quickest -most abundant in upper limb muscles -develop during strength training
Fast glycolytic
A painful spasm
Cramp
Increased muscle tone
Hypertonia
