What is glycolysis?

A

The breaking down of glucose into pyruvate

34

43
Q

What acid is the most abundant in animals

45
Q

What is the correct sequence of connective tissue layers?

A

Epimysium, perimysium, endomysium

46
Q

sarcoplasmic proteins

A

myoglobin, enzymes

47
Q

myogenisis step 1

A

Myoblasts fuse
and donate nuclei
to single immature
muscle fiber
(myotubes)

48
Q

myogenesis step 2

A

First myotubes known as primary
myotubes.

49
Q

myogenesis step 3

A

Primary myotubes form
secondary myotubes, which
produce muscle fibers.

50
Q

myogenesis step 4

A

Fibers accumulate contractile protein,
myofibrils form centrally in fiber; nuclei to periphery

51
Q

First 2/3 of gestation consists almost entirely of

A

hyperplasia

52
Q

Last 1/3 of gestation comprised of both

A

hypertrophy and hyperplasia

53
Q

adipogenesis step 1

A

Primitive adipose cell accumulates lipids –> adipoblasts

54
Q

adipogenesis step 2

A

Adipoblasts filled with lipid –> adipocytes

55
Q

adipogenesis step 3

A

Adipocyte accumulates lipid droplets –> lipid globule

56
Q

adipogenesis step 4

A

cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria and other organelles pushed to cell periphery

57
Q

3 cells in bone formations & their functions

A
  1. Osteoblasts= directly active in bone production
  2. Fibroblasts= synthesize fibers & ground substances of tendons, ligaments & connective tissue
  3. Chondroblasts- form cartilage
58
Q

Factors that affect growth and development

A
  1. genetics
  2. nutrition
  3. hormones
  4. growth promotants
59
Q

Late vs. early maturing (physiological age)

A
  1. Late maturing (large frame) require longer time to reach compositional maturity
  2. Early maturing (small frame) reach compositional maturity earlier
60
Q

Genetic abnormalities: Double muscling (cattle)

A

-Caused by myostatin gene
-Twice as many muscle fibers, caused by exaggerated hypertrophy
-lots of white fibers (larger)

61
Q

Genetic abnormalities: Callipyge (sheep)

A

-Enlarged muscle development caused by hypertrophy
-lots of white fibers
-Decreased protein breakdown (tough meat)

63
Q

pork primal cuts?

A

leg, loin, boston butt,picnic shoulder, belly sidejasz
