Q

what does the A band comprise of

A

actin + myosin

21
Q

what does the I band consist of

A

z disc to mysosin, only actin

22
Q

what does the H zone comprise of

A

only myosin

23
Q

what is the M line

A

middle line

24
Q

what are the two regulatory proteins

A

tropomyosin and troponin

25
Q

which regulatory protein binds with calcium

A

troponin

26
Q

which regulatory protein moves out of the way to expose the myosin binding site

A

tropomyosin

27
Q

what are the five structural proteins in the sarcomere

A

titin, dystrophin, nebulin, myomesin, alpha actin

28
Q

describe titin

A

spans from z disc to m line and stabilizes myosin, gives elasticity

29
Q

describe dystrophin

A

links actin to the sarcolemma helps transmit tension to tendons

30
Q

describe nebulin

A

spans length of actin, anchors actin to z disc

31
Q

describe myomesin

A

found in M- line, hold titin and myosin in position

32
Q

how does the sarcomere change length during contraction

A

it shortens

33
Q

is the I band reduced, lengthened, or stays the same during contraction

A

shortened

34
Q

How does the A band change length during contraction

A

stays the same

35
Q

define excitation

A

the events that transmit an electrical signal from a motor neuron to a muscle fiber

36
Q

when ATP binds to the myosin heads does this make them detatch or attach

A

detatch

37
Q

describe relation of a muscle

A

active Ca transporters remove Ca from sarcoplasm, Ca levels drop and titin brings sarcomere to resting position

38
Q

what are the 3 sources of energy from muscles

A

creatine phosphate, anaerobic, aerobic respiration

39
Q

how long does the body use creatine phosphate for

A

10-15 seconds

40
Q

how long does the body use anaerobic respiration

A

up to 2-3 minutes

41
Q

how long does the body use aerobic respiration

A

long long time

42
Q

describe SO fibers Type I

A

called slow because contraction cycle is slower, many mitochondria, produce energy by anaerobic respiration, dont fatigue easy, red in color

43
Q

describe FOG fibers Type IIA

A

called fast bc contraction cycle is faster, many mitochondria, produce energy by both anaerobic and aerobic respiration,

44
Q

describe FG Type IIX

A

called fast bc contraction cycle is faster, little mitochondria, energy only from anaerobic respiration

45
Q

what is spatial summation

A

increasing motor unit recruitment

46
Q

what is temporal summation

A

increasing the frequency of stimulation

47
Q

define isometric contraction

A

generates tension but does not shorten

48
Q

define concentric contraction

A

when the tension generated is sufficient enough to move the load, the muscle shorten

49
Q

define eccentric contraction

A

as tension decreases, the load exceeds the tension, the muscle lengthens
