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
Intermediate in strength and speed -produce ATP by aerobic and anaerobic methods -most abundant in lower limbs
Fast oxidative glycolytic
Each consists of the same type of skeletal muscle
Motor unit
The muscle length does not change and object remains stationary -leads to isotonic contraction
Isometric contraction
Produces larger contractions when nerve impulse occur one after the other
Wave summation
Decreased muscle tone
Hypotonia
Pain associated with muscles
Myalalagia
Slowest and least powerful produce ARap by aerobic method fatigue slower most abundant in postural muscles
Slow oxidative fibers
Results in a smooth sub stained contraction muscle does not relax between impulses
Fused tetanus
Most are a mixture of 3 muscle fiber types
Skeletal muscles
