thick filaments(myosin)

A

actin-binding sites and ATP-binding sites

24
Q

thin filaments(actin)

A

troponin that prevent myosin binding at rest

25
Q

action of sliding in sliding filament theory

A

Sliding is produced by several cross bridges that form between myosin and actin.
a) The myosin head serves as a myosin ATPase enzyme, splitting ATP into ADP + Pi.
b) This allows the head to bind to actin when the muscle is stimulated.

Q

Release of Pi upon binding cocks the myosin head, producing a__________ _________ that pulls the thin filament toward the center

A

power stroke

27
Q

After the power stroke, _______ is released and a new ATP binds.

A

ADP
-This makes myosin release actin.
-ATP is split.
The myosin head straightens out and rebinds to actin farther back.
Continues until the sarcomere has shortened

48
Q

TYPE I Muscle fibres are:
slow twitch fibers

A

slow oxidative
contract relatively slowly and use aerobic respiration (oxygen and glucose) to produce ATP. They produce low power contractions over long periods and are slow to fatigue.
slower contraction speed; can sustain contraction for long periods without fatigue; rich capillary supply; more mitochondria; more respiratory enzymes; more myoglobin
a. Tend to have high oxidative capacity, so are
called (slow) oxidative fibers
b. Due to high myoglobin content (which has a
red pigment), these are also called red fibers
c. Found in postural muscles

49
Q

Type IIA fibers
fast oxidative

A

fast twitch, have high oxidative and glycolytic capacity, and are relatively resistant to fatigue
fast-twitch but with high oxidative capacity; called fast oxidative fibers

50
Q

Type IIB fibers (IIX)
fast-glycolytic (myosin heavy chain, ATPase)

A

fast twitch, have low oxidative and high glycolytic capacity, and fatigue rapidly
faster contraction speed, fatigue fast, fewer capillaries, mitochondria, respiratory enzymes, and less myoglobin
a. Also called white fibers
b. Have more glycogen stores and are called
fast glycolytic fibers
c. Found in stronger muscles

51
Q

endurance running recruits:

A

type I and IIa

52
Q

at rest utilizes:

A

at rest utilizes:

53
Q

each muscle fibre is activated thru impulses delivered via

A

motor end plate

54
Q

motor end plate

A

when a muscle quickly contracts and relaxes after a single electrical shock of sufficient voltage (AP).
-Increasing the voltage increases the strength of the twitch up to a maximum.
-When a second shock is applied immediately after the first, a second twitch will partially piggyback the first. This is called summation

55
Q

summation:

A

two successive action potentials (AP), if the twitch tension resulting from the
first AP does not decline to zero before asecond twitch arrives, the twitch forces summate.

56
Q

tetanus:

A

frequency of APs(action potentials)-a rise in the contractile force of a single
muscle (fibre) until force reaches a plateau called the tetanic tension. This is the maximum tension that can be produced by a fibre.

if a muscle fibre is stimulated so rapidly that it doesnt have an opportunity to relax at all between stimuli, a maximal sistained contraction known as tetanus occurs

a. Increasing the frequency of electrical shocks decreases the relaxation time between twitches. This is called incomplete tetanus.
b. At a certain frequency, there will be no relaxation. This is called complete tetanus, a smooth, sustained contraction.

57
Q

Latent period

A

time between the stimulus and the contraction (excitation-contraction
coupling to the attachment of myosin cross bridges to actin)
