muscle physiology II Flashcards
ATP supply depends on _____ supply
oxygen
what do you add to ADP to make it ATP
phosphate
what does anaerobic fermentation produce
lactate (lactic acid)
how many ATP per glucose molecule does the mitochondria produce
36
what are high energy phosphates that can be used to make ATP called
phosphagens
when are phosphogens used as an energy source
are they aerobic or anaerobic
around the 10 sec mark
anaerobic
when youre at work, creatine and ATP make energy, what is the reverse process when youre resting
phosphocreatine + ADP
what transfers one phosphate from ADP to another ADP to make ATP and AMP
myokinase
what is an enzyme that adds a phosphate to something else
a kinase
what gets used up during the first 3 seconds of working out
oxygen from myoglobin
what gets used around the 2 min mark for exercise
the glycogen lactate system (anaerobic, only produces 2 ATP/glucose, produces lactic acid so youre sore)
what respiration are you using when youre doing endurance training
aerobic respiration
rank the types of energy usage from:
3 sec
10 sec
10 sec- 2 mins
30 mins
beyond 30 mins
oxygen from myoglobin
phosphogen system
glycogen lactate system
aerobic respiration using glucose and FA
aerobic respiration just FA (glucose depletion)
in exercises lasting longer than 10 mins, ___% of ATP is produced aerobically
90
what is the term for when muscle growth is stimulated from cellular enlargement
happens in body builders
hypertrophy
does skeletal muscle undergo mitosis to get bigger
no
what 2 things do slow twitch muscles have more of than fast twitch muscles
what do they have less of
mitochondria
density of blood capillaries
sarcomeres
marathon runners have a higher ____ ____ ____ count than the average person
red blood cell
how do muscles get smaller with age or the cessation of exercise
contractual proteins get broken down
what is the term for age related muscle loss
sarcopenia
after age 30, how much muscle does one tend to lose per decade
3-5%
what accumulates in muscles that allows for fatigue during high intensity workouts
K
what releases calcium into skeletal muscle fibers
the sarcoplasmic reticulum
what 2 things being depleted lead to fatigue in slow twitch muscles/ duration training
fuel depletion
electrolyte depeltion
what part of the body can get fatigued during endurance training that isn’t muscles
the central nervous system
brain motor neurons inhibited by exercising muscles release ______, which is linked to fatigue
ammonia
what is the amount of oxygen the an individual can utilize during intense exercise called
what are its units
maximum oxygen intake (VO2)
kg/min
every muscle contains a ____ of fiber types
mix
slow twitch fibers are also called
slow oxidative fibers
slow twitch muscles have _____ myoglobin than fast twitch fibers
more
which muscle fibers are more red
slow twitch
which muscle fibers are recruited for movement first
why
slow twitch
size principle; theyre smaller so they go first
do most humans have fast glycolytic fibers or fast oxidative fibers
fast glycolytic
