creatine phosphate
reserve of phosphate which combiens with ADP to produce ATP . USED FOR SHORT BURSTS OF MUSCLE CONTRACTION EG TENNIS SERVE
Aerobic respiration
most ATP used by muscle cells regenerated from ADP during oxidative phosphorylation. occurs in mitochondria + useful for low intensity excersise
anaerobic respiration
ATP would be generated anaerobically if not enough oxygen present, therefore its generated in glycolysis . pyruvate produced converted to lactic acid which builds up in muscles and causes fatigue !
multiple sclerosis (G)
affects brain, nerves and spinal cord; causign vision problems, muscle problems, movement problems etc…
causes immune system to attack body tissues, degreades myelin sheath… results in breakdown of axons of neurones
Frequency of action potentials measured by…( G)
oscilloscope
drugs (G)
similar shape to neurotransmitters
