31
Q

what is the charge of the body?

32
Q

what does the Transverse Tubule/ T Tubule do?

A

passes electrical signals for opening protein channels

33
Q

what does the sarcoplasmic reticulum do?

A

store calcium that is needed for contraction

34
Q

what is a regulatory protein that regulates active site availability?

35
Q

what is the neuromuscular junction?

A

where the synapse and synaptic cleft meet

36
Q

what does botox do?

A

inhibits ACH from being released into the synaptic cleft causing you to not be able to contract the muscle

37
Q

what is ACH?

A

a neurotransmitter that is released by the synapse that opens the ligand-gated protein channels

38
Q

what is ACHE?

A

a neurotransmitter that takes away ACH at the synaptic cleft so that the ligand-gated protein channels can close and allow the muscle to relax

39
Q

how does nerve gas work?

A

it inhibits ACHE so that makes it to were you are stuck in contraction

40
Q

how does Rigor Mortis work?

A

the SR can no longer hold back the calcium….which causes the body to become stiff

41
Q

what is muscle atrophy?

A

breaking down of muscle due to not using it

42
Q

what structures are affected in muscle atrophy?

A

the number of myofibrils in each muscle cell decreases

43
Q

what happens to people’s muscles that are into endurance training?

A

the number of blood vessels increases….number of mitochondria increases…oxidative enzymes increases

44
Q

what happens to people’s muscles that are into strength training?

A

increase in the number of myofibrils….increase in the diameter of myofibrils and muscle fiber

45
Q

what happens to muscles when they experience disuse?

A

decrease in oxidative enzymes…decrease in the number of mitochondria….decrease in the diameter of myofibrils

46
Q

what is another name for type 1 muscles?

A

slow-twitch

47
Q

what is another name for type 2 muscles?

A

fast-twitch

48
Q

what are type 1/slow twitch muscles used for?

A

aerobic exercise, muscle endurance, moderate weight, 12-20 reps, 30-50% of 1rm, made to last long period

49
Q

what are type 2 /fast-twitch muscles used for?

A

anaerobic, muscle strength, heavyweight, 3-5 reps, 80%+ of 1rm, made for a short burst

50
Q

what is a sport that you would have to have good type 2 /fast-twitch muscles?

A

weightlifters and sprinters

51
Q

what is a sport that you would have to have good type 1 /slow-twitch muscles?

A

marathons, cyclist, soccer

52
Q

can the body go through respiration without oxygen?

53
Q

what is the respiration called that does not have oxygen?

A

anaerobic respiration

54
Q

what is the respiration called that have glucose and oxygen?

A

aerobic respiration

55
Q

what type of respiration does the body prefer?

A

aerobic respiration

56
Q

what type of respiration includes the burn in the muscles from lifting weight?

A

anaerobic respiration

57
Q

what causes the burn in the muscles during anaerobic respiration?

A

the build-up of lactic acid

58
Q

what is glycolysis?

A

break down of glucose to make energy

59
Q

what does lactic acid do?

A

breaks down sugars

60
Q

what is DOMS?

A

delayed onset muscles soreness

61
Q

what causes DOMS?

A

small tears in the muscle fibers

62
Q

what is a common misconception that people have about lactic acid?

A

that it causes muscle soreness

63
Q

what is recruitment?

A

using multiple motor units to create power

64
Q

what is the order from spine to muscle fiber when talking about nerves?

A

spine…nerve…axon motor neuron…neuromuscular junction

65
Q

are motor units composed of multiple muscle fibers?

66
Q

can the axon motor neuron be connected to multiple muscle fibers?

67
Q

what are some things that can cause muscle fatigue?

A

depletion, decreased oxygen, interference, and envioroment

68
Q

what is depletion when referring to muscle fatigue?

A

running out of energy

69
Q

what is decreased oxygen when referring to muscle fatigue?

A

breathing heavily

70
Q

what is interference when referring to muscle fatigue?

A

when things get in the way of moving nutrients….for example waste

71
Q

what is the envioroment when referring to muscle fatigue?

A

when it gets too hot or too cold

72
Q

where are the dendrites?

A

on the ends of neuron

73
Q

what is the purpose of the dendrites?

A

collect electrical signals

74
Q

what is the purpose of the axon?

A

move electrical signals between end of neurons

75
Q

what is the synapse?

A

converts electrical signals to chemical aka neurotransmitters

76
Q

what is included in the central nervous system?

A

brain and spine

77
Q

what is included in the peripheral nervous system?

A

nerves that branch off the spine
