Q

define muscle fibres

A

surrounded by a plasma membrane called the sarcolemma which contains the sarcoplasm. a muscle fibre is composed of many fibrils, which give the cell its striated appearance.

Q

Q

describe the first step of the sliding filament theory

A

when there’s a neurochemical stimulation calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum into sarcomere
prompting reaction in each muscle fibre between myosin and actin filaments

Q

describe the second step in the sliding filament theory

A

myosin filaments creates cross bridges ( myosin heads) at regular intervals. these cross bridges attach and reattach at different times along the actin. pulling them to create tension.

Q

describe the 3rd step of the sliding filament theory

A

the actin now moves into the centre of the sarcomere, shortening the myofibril and causing the actin and myosin filaments to be almost fully contracted position causing the H zone and I band to disappear.

16
Q

outline what dendrites are

A

pass info from the sensory receptors to the cell body of the sensory neuron

17
Q

outline what axons of motor neurons are

A

transmits electrical info/signals away from cell body to the muscle fibres

18
Q

outline what the spinal cord does

A

transmits electrical messages from the brain to parts of the body

19
Q

what is a motor unit

A

to create the desired movement

20
Q

outline what nueron is

A

a cell within the nervous system that transmits impulse/signals to other nerve cell/muscles

21
Q

describe the process on how the neuron creates movement

A
  1. brain recieves a signal from sensory nerve
  2. message travels via motor nueron- structure slide
  3. arrives at the nueromuscular junction and has to cross synapeses
  4. arrival action potential which opens calcium channel
    5.influx of calcium triggers a biochemical cascade
  5. this causes the release of acetglochline which is a neurotransmitter into the synapse
  6. signal on the end plate then transmit nerve signals to the muscle fibre
  7. signal release the calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum causing sliding filament theory.
  8. neruons extend across the length of the myofibril but only stimulate portions of the muscle belly
22
Q

define the all or nothing principle

A

when a motor neuron receives stimulation potential to threshold, all the muscle fibres of the motor unit will contract with the same maximal force at the same time.

23
Q

how can i produce more force?

A
  • greater number of motor units
  • type of fibre (type 2= fast twitch)
  • size of motor neuron
24
Q

what is a force-velocity relationship? and whats concentric and eccentric contraction

A

this describes the inverse relationship between force production and velocity of movement.

concentric contraction : as more forece is required the speed of movement cannot be fast and vice versa

eccentric contration: as mre force is required muscle velocity increases. as less force is required muscle velocity decreases.

25
Q

draw a graph of the force-velocity relationship for muscle contraction and explain how a weight lifter uses force in power lifting events?

A

draws graph with negative trend with velocity at bottom and force on side

  • they want to produce maximal force for his lift
  • he needs to contract his muscle slowly
  • this allows time for the sarcomere to form maximum number of crossbridges.
26
Q

what is force length relationship

A

relates directly towards the amount of muscle force that can be produced at varying muscle length,

  • when fully flexed/ extended ( out of range of contraction), not as much force can be produced compared to the mid range. (extended insufficient amount of overlap of actin and myosin and fully contracted preventing from contracting any further)
  • the force lengthe relates directly towards the mid rnage ( resting length) of a muscle the greatest force production can be generated due to the optimal overlap of actin and myosin
27
Q

wat which point in the force length relationship is the muscle producing the most amount of force?

A

the mid range

28
Q

describe the different resting muscle length % and force in relation to the force length relationship (inverted U)

A

i) as the muscle contracts crossbridges linkage formation is impaired due to too much overlap of myofilaments

ii) a muscles normal resting length allows for optimal overlap of the myofilaments therefore maximising crossbridge attachments

iii) the muscle is stretching beyond its normal resting state. the reduced overlap of myofilaments causes a decrease in the number of available binding sites.

29
Q

list the characteristics of type IIa muscle fibres

A
  • fast twitch
  • duration of 2m
  • fast contraction speed -used for speed endurance
  • moderate force contraction
    fatigue resistance but not as much as slow twitch
  • possesses some aerobic characteristics ( such as moderate levels of myoglobin, mitochondria and blood capilaries.
  • stimulated by relatively large motor nuerons and are stimulated in moderate frequency
30
Q

list an example for type 2 a

A

400m,800m

31
Q

list the characteristics type IIb

A

fast twitch

  • duration of less than 10 seconds
  • rapid contraction speed- used for speed, strngth and power
  • high force of contraction
  • high capacity for anaerobic ATP production
  • fatigue very quickly- no oxygen
  • generates greater force+ more powerful contraction as theyre lageer than red fibres
  • possesses very few aerobic characteristics such as low levels for myoglobin, mitochondria and blood capilaries.
  • very high anaerobic characteristics such as high levels of glycogen
  • stimulated by very large motor nuerons and are stimulated at a very high frequency
32
Q

list an example for type 2 b

A

100m/ 200m

33
Q

describe the characteristics type 1

A

slow twitch

  • duration over 2m
  • slow contraction speed- used for endurance activities
  • low force of contraction
  • high capacity for ATP production- generates ATP using aerobic system
  • fatigue resistance
  • contract repeatedly for continuous activity
  • possesses more aerobic charactersitics such as high levels of myoglobin, mitochondria and blood capilaries
  • stimulated by relatively small motor nuerons and are stimulated at a low frequency
34
Q

provide an example for slowtwitch muscle fibre

A

10k runner, endurance swimmer/cyclist
