Muscle Tissue 10B Flashcards
give 7 characteristics of red muscles
slow twitch/marathoner's good blood supply more myoglobin more mitochondria smaller SR slower enzymes slower/long lasting
7 characteristics of white muscles
fast twitch/sprinter's bad blood supply less myoglobin fewer mitochondria larger SR faster enzymes faster/fatigue
threshold
response; minimal stimulus required to cause contraction (meet/beat)
all or non rule:
response; entire muscle cell will contract or not
cannot vary # of muscle fibers stimulated to vary contraction
muscle twitch:
response; one rapid contraction/relaxation
latent period
time for signal to cause contraction
period of contraction
time for a muscle to contract
period of relaxation
time for a muscle to relax?
another name for staircase affect
treppe
staircase effect
warming up of a muscle
increases length of contraction until it reaches maximum
wave summation
warming up of a muscle
no complete relaxation- sustained contraction
another name for wave summation
sustained contraction
tetanus
continuous stimulus w/ no relaxation
fatigue
losing ability to contract muscle
recruitment
more muscle cells activated leads to more force
two types of exercises assoc. with muscle tissues
isotonic
isometric
what is isotonic?
muscle shortens during exercise (normal)
concentric- normal contraction
eccentric- slow relaxation
isometric
exercise where muscle doesn’t shorten during contraction
muscle tone
small % of muscle fibers/cells that stays active
muscle tone; give 3 uses
signals to keep muscle contracted in case of use
allows muscles to continually stabilize joints
allows muscles to continually maintain posture
muscle movement; give related biology term to physics term:
lever (rod)
bone
physics; force
biology; muscle
physics; fulcrum
biology; joint
physics: weight
biology; object
term for tweezers
forceps
types of movement-
first class
force- pivot- weight
3 examples of first-class type of movement
seesaw, scissors, triceps
type of movement: second-class
pivot-weight-force
