Motor (efferent) neurons
Carries information from periphery/muscle to CNS
Sensory (afferent) nuerons
Band containing both thin and thick filaments
A band
Band containing only actin(thin) filaments
I band
Zone middle of A-bands
H Zone
Line middle of H-zone
M-line
Oxygen transport is carried via __
Hemoglobin
Measure of the force required to maintain blood flow
Total peripheral résistance
TPR: Vessels constricting/dilating alter _ _
Blood flow
Amount of blood pumped by the heart in 1 minute
Cardiac Output
Equation for Cardiac output
SV x HR
Greater stretch of LV = more forceful contraction & greater volume of blood leaving V

Glycolytic system
Source of ATP at rest and during aerobic activities
Oxidative system
Energy substrates in Oxidative system
Carbohydrates and fats
Lactate Threshold & VO2max
Lactate threshold reflects aerobic endurance and VO2max reflects aerobic potential from O2 consumption
