Lecture Exam 1 (part 2) Flashcards
List the 3 MF types
SO-slow twitch oxidative
FOG-Fast twitch oxidative glycolytic
FG-Fast twitch glycolytic
Type naming for MFs
Type 1 (SO) Type 2a (FOG) Type 2b (FG)
List how muscle fiber types differ (4)
Stimulus threshold for contraction
fiber type recruitment patterns
speed of contraction
structural differeneces
Lowest stimulus threshold
SO
Highest stimulus threshold
FOG, FG
Fiber type recruitment is not this but this
speed related
intensity related
Low intensity workouts us
SO
Max intensity workouts use
FOG, FG, SO
This increases the number of muscle fibers whos threasholds are met
increase in intensity
most frequently recruited MF
SO
Speed of contraction for ST, FT
110 ms
50 ms to contract
four factors that contribute to speed of contraction
level of myosin ATPase
Myosin Isoforms
Development of SR
Troponin/Ca++ binding
Myosin ATPase, these have low lvls, these have high lvls
ST
FT
More ATPase =
faster contraction
These can be used to determine muscle typing
myosin isoforms
These fibers are not as effiecient in Ca++ release from SR
ST fibers
This affects speed of cycle of myosin/actin binding
ST fibers have poor troponin/Ca++ binding affinity in relation to FT
This are generally smaller than these
ST fibers
FT fibers
T/F: FT fibers similar size
T
indurence trained athletes have larger this than this due to specific training
ST
FT
These are important in aerobic/oxidative ATP production
mitochondria
This indicates the presence of many mitochondria in the cell
Oxidative
FG don’t have mitochondria
F
4 structural differences in between FT/ST
Size
mitochondria concentration
number of capillaries around
glycogen stores
This fiber types have many capillaries around them
SO
FOG
this is a polymer of glucose, animal carbohydrate
glycogen
These fibers have large glycogen stores, these have smaller
FG and FOG
SO
This fiber type do a good job of using fatty acids to produce energy
SO
difference in fiber innervation
smaller neurons innervate ST
Larger neurons innervate FT
This characteristic of neurons is related to conduction velocity
diameter
Biochemical differences in MF types
myosinATPase concentration hexokinase phosphofructokinase isocytrate dehydrogenase mitochondrial enzyme activitiy
these are in higher concentration in glycolytic fibers
hexokinase
phosphofructokinase
