Lecture muscles 2 Flashcards
Single unit smooth muscles
when one contract they all contract, but very slowly
What shape does smooth muscles lean to when it contracts?
Spherical. Forces is spliced in all directions
What is an isometric contraction?
force is increase, recruit more motor units, muscles stay the same.
What is function of the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
Store Calcium
What is imomplete tentany?
Actions potential arrive more quickly than complete relaxation occurs. Calcium is still present in sarcoplasm when next contractions starts.
Muli-tunit smooth muscle
Is controlled by motors unit, similar etc skleletal muscles that work together. for fine control such as the pupal
What is the phosphogn systems and How does long the is last?
Transfer of phosphate to ATP from another molecule. 6-8 seconds use full out, 1 minute brisk walk.
What do the calcium pumps do SR?
Calcium pumps are always working to move from the sarcoplasm to sarcoplasmic reticulum
What are the steps in contractions and relaxations
1) Excitiation 2) Excitation - Contractions 3) Contraction 4) Relaxation
What allow you to maintain a condition with out ATP in smooth muscle
Gelsulin
What is true fatigue
running out of AT
What is a concentric vs. eccentric contraction?
Concentric contractions : regular contraction muscles get shorter. Eccentric contractions lengthening while contracting, it rip muscle proteins.
What is treppe?
Calcium is still left in the sarcoplasm after action potentials are complete. Also increased heat increasing enzymatic efficiency.
How many ATP are generated in aerobic respiration? How much can it produce?
36 ATP per glucose. Produces 1 mole per minute.
What kind of muscle is this and how does it work?
It is a convergent muscle. I acks like a blokc and tackle which generate a lot more foce, but also decreases speed and range of motion
