Exercise science Flashcards
SR
provides structural integrity
releases Ca -> action potential
myofibril
consist of long thin chain of protein that contain myofilament
bunches of these make mm fiber
myofilament
protein chains containing actin and myosin
sarcomere
smallest functional unit
located between two z lines
T tubular
perpendicular to myofibril and 2 sarcoplasmic channels
depolarizing Ca initiates contrile motion
Ca does what and ATP does what
Ca binds to toponin which causes conformational change to tropomyosin which is covering actin’s head
ATP activates the power stroke
what hormone activates at the terminal end of NMJ
ACh
circular mm
arranced in a concentric ring
convergent mm
mm has broad origin and it is fan or triangular shaped
parallel mm
long axis of fascicles is parallel to long axis of mm
unipennate mm
short fascicles insert obliquely int only one side of tendon
ext digi
bipennate mm
fascicles insert into opposite sides of one central tendon
rectus
multipennate mm
tendon branches w/in the mm
deltoid
fusiform
spindle shaped mm bicep
force velocity curve
as force increases velocity decreases
