Discussion 2 Notes Flashcards
______________ greater length change, force remains the same
sarcomere in series
__________________ greater force production. Length change is only 20nm
sarcomere in parallel
_______________is the change in length of 1 sarcomere in series
20 nm
___________ is a function of the number of working cross bridges per half sarcomere.
force
How can you create more force
more overlap, More cross bridges, more force produced
what are the 3 ways to generate force
- optimize sarcomere length
- Increa Ca2+ via neural input
- Increase sarcomeres or muscle in parallel
Chad wants to get big and lift heavy he should
get more sarcomeres in parallel
Chad does not want to wait long what should
- optimize sarcomere length
- modify neural input
________ is determined by muscle stiffness.
passive tension
passive tension is a resistance to _________________ in structure
deformation or conformational change
passive tension increase as we pass ________________
resting length of sarcomeres (2.1 μm)
What is the extracellular component of muscle stiffness
collagen
what is the intracellular component of stiffness
titan
titan Spans
whole half of sarcomere
Length tension curve:
V max for muscle unload muscle until
3.6 μm
Length tension curve
velocity decreases as you increase the
after load
- weight is opposing the force produced by cross bridges
- velocity when after load is f max-1.6 max
- negative velocity in the opposite direction you want (muscle lengthening)
Velocity decreases as you increase
muscle length because longer muscle from Manuel stretching and less cross bridges are available
what Are the 3 types of contraction
- concentric
- Isometric
- eccentric
