Q

Motor unit summation:

  • Define:
  • How does it work?
A
  • Define:
    Gradual addition of muscle fibers (one motor unit at a time)
  • How does it work?
    Recruits slow twitch and smaller muscle fibers first, increased signal strength causes additional recruitment of fast twitch muscle fibers

Q

Wave (temporal) summation (muscular innervation):

A

Muscle contractions build on each other. As they come more and more quickly, the muscle no longer has time to relax. It becomes in a continual state of contraction: tetanus

Q

Why can sprinters perform multiple heats in a day but long distance runners cannot.

A

Sprinters will not deplete glycogen stores, they will simply cause lactic acid build up, which will be taken care of by the liver (gluconeogenesis)
Long distance runners cannot, because glycogen stores will be depleted

Q

What is the fastest number of squeezes I can do in a second?

Why?

A

~5
< 10
Because necessary time to relax before firing again (Ca2+ must go out and back in)

Q

Glycerination of muscle has what effect?

A
