Exam 1 Flashcards
layers of muscle
- epimysium
- perimysium
- endomysium
what does the epimysium cover
entire muscle
what does the perimysium cover
each bundle of fibers
what does the ednomysium cover
individual fibers
components of nerves for muscle
- motor neuron: nerve cell
- motor unit: motor nerve plus all the muscle fibers
important molecules for sliding filaments theroy
7 of them
- actin/myosin
- tropomysoin
- troponin
- gylcogen
- calcium
- mitochondria
- myoglobin
structure diff in myosin and actin
- myosin: thick, w/ myosin head
- actin: thin, dbl helix
what must be released for contraction to occur
calcium
resting phase of sliding filament theory
- little to no activity
- little to no tension in muscle
- most Ca in sarcoplasmic retic
excitation phase of sliding fil theroy
-Ca released
contraction phase of sliding fil theory
ATP goes thru hydrolysis
recharge phase of sliding fil theory
Ca and ATP are available
-myosin “let go and grab” again
relaxation phase of sliding fil theroy
- nerve stim ends
- Ca back to sarco retic
- myosin heads release
compare cap density of all three muscle fiber types
I: high
IIa: lower
IIx: low
compare color and diameter of all three muscle fiber types
I: small, red
IIa: pink, bigger
IIx: white/gray, biggest
what is pre loading?
isometric contraction before full starting ROM
what is activated in stretch reflex?
muscle spindle
what is reflex relaxation?
- over rides stretch reflex after 6 secs
- golgi tendon
what is catabolism
exer or endergonic?
example.
large molecules to small molecules
- exergonic
- protein to AA
what is anabolism?
exer or endergonic?
example.
- smaller to larger molecules
- endergonic
- AA to muscle
when is the phosphogen/ATP-PCr used?
- short duration
- explosive movement
how is creatine phosphate used in ATP-PCr system?
-where is it stored?
provides phosphate to get bck to ATP
-stored in type II fibers
what are the 3 ways to return muscles back to homeostasis after LA is present in muscles
- oxidation: aerobic metabolism of LA
- send it to other muscles that arent being used
- Cori cycle: occurs in livers where LA is turned to glucose
what happens to LA levels after termination of activity
- continue to accumulate
- peak after 5 mins of ending
lactate threshold
exercise intensity at which blood lacatate levels begins and abrupt increase above baseline
1-6sec duration
extreme high intensity = what system?
ATP-PCr
6-30sec duration
very high intensity = what system?
ATP-PCr -> Anerob Glyc
30sec-2min duration
high intensity = what system?
Anerob Gly
2-3min duration
mod intensity = what system?
anerob Glyc -> oxidative
