Q

what happens in cross bridge step 1

A
  • Calcium ions are released from the sarcolemma upon stimulation
  • Calcium binds to troponin (makes it not sticky) and moves the tropomyosin away from the binding sites
  • the heads of myosin attach to binding sites on the actin filaments

Q

what happens in the step 4 hydrolysis

A
  • when ATP binds to myosin it breaks down into ADP , Pi and energy
  • Calcium detaches from troponin and is reabsorbed
  • Tropomyosin moves back ti its original position and blocks the myosin binding sites again
  • Creatine Phosphate regenerates ATP

Q

what happens during aerobic cellular respiration to create ATP

A

glycogen and fats are stored in muscle cells to be used a fuel to produce ATP when O2 is available
Myoglobin in muscle cells stores oxygen during muscle contraction
CO2 water n heat r produced as wastes

26
Q

whats Lactic acid fermentation

A

a way to supply ATP in absence of oxygen

27
Q

what happens due to lactic acid fermentation

A

lactate(lactic acid) is produced which makes sarcoplasm more acidic which when accumulated for more than 2 min causes muscles cramping and fatigue resulting in oxygen defect

28
Q

What causes muscle fatigue

A

Oxygen debt

29
Q

whats oxygen debt

A

when energy demand exceeds ATP supply , lactic acid accumulation

30
Q

how does cramping occur

A

from the lack of ATP to pump calcium ions back into sarcoplasmic reticulum and break of linkage between myosin n actin si that muscle fibres can relax

31
Q

what do u need to make ATP

A

oxygen n glucose

32
Q

how do u replenish oxygen defecit

A

replenishing creatine phosphate supplies and getting rid of lactate , rapid breathing after exercise is used to repay debt

33
Q

whats rigor mortis

A

moments after up to 60 hrs after death when ATP production ceases and skeletal muscles become fixed (stiff as a board) , cross bridges fail to detach

34
Q

Another way to say atp

A

hydrolysis

35
Q

Splitting of ____ provides energy for ____

A

ATP, muscle contraction

36
Q

What does ATP do

A

allow for myosin head to detach and for muscle ti return ti relaxed state

37
Q

whats released from sarcoplasmic reticulum during concetration

A

Ca++

38
Q

What regenarate ATP

A

creatine phosphate, aerobic cellular respiration and lactic acid fermentation

39
Q

whats a muscle twitch

A

a single contraction of muscle fibres from nerve impulse that lasts a mere fraction of a sec

40
Q

what dose the contraction of a whole muscle vary on

A

strength depending on a number of muscles fibres contracting

41
Q

contraction of a individual fibres is all or none once it reaches a certain ____

A

threshold

42
Q

muscles twitch periods

A

1- catent
2- contraction
3- relaxation

43
Q

whats the catent period of a muscle twitch

A

period of time for muscle to recive message from brain

44
Q

whats the concentration period of a muscle twitch

A

period when muscle shortens

45
Q

whats a relaxation period in a muscle twitch

A

when the muscles return to its formal lenght

46
Q

whats summation

A

When a muscle is given rapid series of threshold stimuli ( way of ur brain sending msg to ur muscles) to stimulate more or less fibres ti produce more or less force

47
Q

what does summation strength depend on

A

how close the second stimulus is to the first stimulus

48
Q

What is tetanus

A

maximal sustained contraction when all muscle fibres are combined into one contraction

49
Q

when tetanus occurs the graph starts ti show

A

one combined line showing combined strength of fibres

50
Q

until when does tetanus continue to occur

A

until muscles fatigues due ti depletion of energy reserve (once ur ATP is gone)

51
Q

muscle fibres type 1 is

A

slow twitch

52
Q

muscle fibres type two is

A

fast twitch

53
Q

what is type 1 muscle twitch

A

slow twitch, contract slow to resist fatigue, breakdown ATP slowly and efficiently, rely on aerobic cellular respiration, many mitochondria

54
Q

what is type 2 muscle twitch

A

fast twitch that rely on rapid generation of power, breakdown ATP quickly and inefficiency, rely on anaerobic respiration (produce lactic acid) without 02

55
Q

who is type 1 of muscle fibres found in

A

long distance runners , swimmers and bikers

56
Q

who is type 2 of muscle fibres found in

A

sprinters and weightlifters

57
Q

what decides the type of muscle fibres u have

A

ur genes n body shape

58
Q

whats hypertrophy

A

increase jn size of skeletal muscle cells

59
Q

whats atrophy

A

lack of usage causing a reduction in size of muscle

60
Q

low intensity long duration training affects

A

slow twitch fibres type 1

61
Q

high intensity short duration training affects

A

fast twitch fibres type 2

62
Q

low intensity, long duration training does what

A

increases the number if mitochondria and blood vessels feeding the fibres , increases endurance(more energy)

63
Q

high intensity, short duration training does what

A

affects fast twitch muscles and causes them to increase in diameter(add more actin n myosin) , increases strength and muscles but does not improve endurance
