41
Q

What is unique about the sarcolemma, up close?

A

it’s folded - more area to fit more ion channels for AP

42
Q

What is the NT of muscles?

A

ACh

43
Q

How does nerve AP propagate (4)?

A

1) travels down the motor neuron fibre, branches to reach the motor end plate (sole foot/terminal)
2) Ca enters the sole foot, causing the release of ACh into the synaptic cleft
3) ACh binds to receptor sites on the muscle cell; its membrane becomes permeable to Na (in) and K (out)
4) MAP is propagated

44
Q

The NMJ consists of what two structures?

A

terminal + end plate

45
Q

Describe the 5 sections of the membrane potential graph. When does MAP occur?

A

1) membrane becomes more positive (Na going in) until it reaches the threshold
2) Na influx
3) Inside of the membrane is positive
4) Na channels close (just after the peak)
5) K outflux

MAP - just after the peak, before the membrane becomes negative again (passes 0 mV)

46
Q

A response to an AP is called….

A

twitch

47
Q

What structure allows the AP to propagate centrally along the myofibril?

A

Transverse tubules

48
Q

What is the Triad?

A

a junction - 2 SR and 1 T-tubule; 2 triads per sarcomere (at each end)

49
Q

What are the 3 functions of the SR

A

1) store Ca (at rest)
2) release Ca (response to MAP)
3) Ca reuptake (after MAP)

50
Q

T or F: at rest - the SR has a high permeability to Ca, keeping it in

A

F - low permeability

51
Q

What is the anatomical basis for rigamortis?

A

no ATP is produced when we are dead, the Ca pumps that usually would keep Ca in the SR fail; Ca outflux = constant contraction of sarcomeres

52
Q

What is the Ca pump called? What type of channel is it?

A

Ca ATPase - energy gated

53
Q

In response to the MAP, what type of channels release the Ca?

A

voltage gated

54
Q

What is the relationship between frequency, muscle force, and summation

A

all increase/decrease with each other

55
Q

Define tetanus and the two types.

A

tentanus - contractile response to a train of MAPs causing summation; (unfused - quasi-relaxation; fused - rising phase builds on eachother)

56
Q

What is the twitch and tetanus ratio?

A

twitch force/tetanus force
OR
tetanus force/twitch force

ratio can vary but 10 or 0.1 (10%) is common

57
Q

Differentiate a twitch and tetanus.

A

twitch - 1 NAP = 1 MAP

tetanus - multiple NAP = multiple MAP

58
Q

2 mechanisms that explain why tetanus is stronger than twitch.

A

1) series-elastic component (SEC)

2) greater Ca release from SR

59
Q

What are the effects of the SEC on the force produced by the muscle? How does twitch/tetanus differ in force generation?

A

tissues like tendon, CT, cytoskeleton and CBs are elastic - they take up potential energy (assumes no elasticity); slack has to be overcome before direct force is applied to the bone

tetanus - eventually potential force = external/measured force; never happens for a twitch

60
Q

What’s the time factor in terms of the SEC?

A

twitch - insufficient time to take up SEC: sufficient with tetanus

61
Q

How does a greater release of Ca from the SR affect the force generated?

A

the more MAP, the greater the release of Ca, the greater the # of active CB, greater the force of contraction (PROPORTIONAL - even the graph)

62
Q

Therefore the force generated is proportional to the…

A

amount of Ca released

63
Q

The difference between the potential and external force is due to…

A

the time factor (taking up the SEC) - twitch < tetanus

64
Q

Contraction type vs. Actions? Describe muscle load

CON
ISO
ECC

A

shortening (MF>load), fixed length, lengthening (MF<load)

65
Q

Controlled lowering of a weight…

A

brain recruits fewer motor units

66
Q

Isotonic? Isovelocity? plyometric?

A

constant force during action
constant velocity…
ECC

67
Q

Talk about CON and ECC during an elbow extension. How is it both?

A

CON - of the triceps

ECC - of the biceps - opposes triceps and elbow extension

68
Q

Which contraction types is strongest-weakest?

A

ECC, ISO, CON

69
Q

Why is ECC the strongest? (3)

A

1) braking action of stretched CBs
2) passive tension of stretched cytoskeleton PROs
3) increased # of attached CBs

70
Q

Explain 1.

A

as the actin is pulled, the CBs bound to it stretches - the recoil force is exerted into the direction of the contraction (bending of myosin head)

71
Q

Explain 2.

A

similar to 1

72
Q

Explain 3. Why are more CBs attached? (2)

A

1) increased probability of BOTH heads of myosin attaching (more exposed actin binding sites) - note: not 100%
2) Non-energy dependent CB detachment (removed by pulling force) - remaining in stage 3 of the CB cycle rather than starting in stage 1 - also therefore increases rate of pulling

73
Q

T or F: cost of ECC is 0

A

F - not all CBs are suspended in stage 3

74
Q

T or F - some CBs must be able to complete full CB cycles despite forced lengthening of muscle

A

T - why? no idea

75
Q

Why are CON contractions the weakest?

A

1) negative braking force
2) sliding filament effect
3) slacker SEC

76
Q

Why are ISO contractions in between?

A

no sliding of filaments…

1) no pros/cons of ECC/CON
2) CBs may repeatedly attach and detach from the SAME actin binding site

77
Q

2 reasons why walking up the stairs feels harder than walking down?

A

ECC = fewer CBs required

fewer recruitment of motor neurons - less voluntary effort

less ATP used - lower energy cost

78
Q

Would the % of CONmax be higher or lower than % of ECCmax?

A

lower

79
Q

How can we measure ECCmax? (2)

A

use heaviest weight that can be slowly lowered with control

dynamometers

80
Q

In the CN tower experiment?

Who will be in more pain the next day - those who go or down the stairs?

A

CON - soreness due to CV

ECC - crippling pain - red urine (myoglobinuria), possible kidney damage (rhabdomolysis) - DUE TO CONSTANT LENGTHENING

81
Q

3) ECC or CON
4) maximum unresisted shortening velocity

A

end of graph

middle where v=0

ECC - concave down; CON - concave up

at Vmax

83
Q

Why does the CON F decrease as V increases? (3) When is it amplified?

A

1) slacker SEC
2) sliding filament effect
3) - BF

as V increases?

84
Q

Why does the ECC F increase as V increases? (3)

A

1) + BF

2) increased # of CBs attached - very unclear

85
Q

F-V relationship, if you set one and measure the other - what is the graph shape? which is less easy to do than the other?

A

setting the load

usually limited to CON
controlling V during ROM
safety concerns

86
Q

Application of F-V relationship to shot put + Newton’s 2nd law

A

generate as much force as possible in a short time span to maximize acceleration and therefore distance

87
Q

Difference between an olympic lift and a 1 RM

A

1 RM during practice would be found lower” on the Load - Velocity graph (slower velocity, larger load) because lifter feels more secure with a spotter

88
Q

What does the D-V graph for a sprinter look like?

A

quick acceleration phase, hold phase and decrease due to fatigue

89
Q

What is a possible biological reason for the difference F-V graphs for people?

A

T

97
Q

What is the basis the SSC?

A

it is easier to bring the weight down (ECC) then lift it up (CON)…because. then starting from the bottom (relaxed) and up (CON)
