SMP 2 Flashcards

1
Q

what happen when the calcium binds to troponin C in the muscle fiber cytosol?

A

the troponin complex undergoes a conformational change and Troponin T “pulls” tropomyosin and Troponin I off the myosin-binding site of G-actin subunits

Q

hydrolysis causes what change in the mysoin head?

A

causes the myosin head to pivot, moving down the actin filament so that it lines up with a new actin monomer

Q

which fiber type is generally smaller and innervated by smaller nerve fibers?

A

type 1 or slow fibers

21
Q

which fiber type is larger in size and innervated by large nerve fibers

A

type 2 or fast fibers

22
Q

what are the two subtypes of type II fast fibers

A

Type IIA - fast oxidative glycolytic fibers
type IIB - fast glycolytic fibers

23
Q

which type of muscle fiber has more capillaries to supply higher amounts of oxygen

A

type I/ slow fibers

24
Q

which type of muscle fiber has lots of SR for rapid Ca2+ release

A

type II/ fast fibers

25
Q

which type of muscle fiber has lots of myoglobin, giving a reddish appearance

A

type I/slow fibers

26
Q

which type of muscle fiber has lots of mitochondria to support high levels of oxidative metabolism

A

type I/slow fibers

27
Q

proportions of type I and II fibers seems to be partially determined by ?

A

genetic inheritance

28
Q

there are 3 different metabolic systems responsible for recycling AMP and ADP back into ATP to provide a continuous supply of ATP in muscle fibers. what are the 3 metabolic systems?

A
  1. phosphagen system
  2. glycogen lactic acid system
  3. aerobic system
29
Q

T or F: phosphorylated creatine molecule has a low energy phosphate bond

A

false, phosphorylated creatine molecule has a high energy phosphate bond

30
Q

T or F: high energy phosphate bond of phosphocreatine has more energy than the bond of ATP

A

true

31
Q

Both phosphocreatine and ATP together constitute the ?

A

phosphagen system

32
Q

the phosphagen system provide how long of maximal power?

A

8-10 seconds of maximal power

33
Q

what is the initial stage of the glycogen-lactic acid system

A

glycolysis

34
Q

in the case of insufficient oxygen, pyruvate will be converted into what?

A

lactate

35
Q

what happens after the pyruvate converting into lactate

A

it diffuses out of the muscle cells into the interstitial fluid and blood

36
Q

glycogen lactic acid system can sustain maximal muscle contraction for ?

A

1.3-1.6 minutes

37
Q

what is the name of the process of glucose -> pyruvate -> lactate -> glucose

A

cori cycle

38
Q

what is the overall net loss or gain of ATP in the Cori cycle?

A

overall loss of 4 ATP

39
Q

What is the purpose of the cori cycle?

A

providing muscle fibers with 2 ATP, replenishing NAD+ for glycolysis, prevents build-up of lactic acid in skeletal muscle

40
Q

in presence of oxygen, what happens to pyruvate?

A

pyruvate is broken down into carbon dioxide, water, and energy via citric acid cycle and ETC

41
Q

as long as nutrients in the body last, the aerobic system can be used for ?

A

unlimited duration

42
Q

muscle strength is determined mainly by what?

A

its overall size

43
Q

what is muscle power?

A

the measure of the amount of work that the muscle can perform in a given period of time

44
Q

the endurance of muscle depends on

A

the amount of glycogen that has been stored in the muscle prior to the period of exercise and depends on the type and size of muscle fibre

45
Q

what is muscle atrophy

A

muscle no longer receives contractile signals required to maintain normal muscle size

46
Q

what is muscle hypertrophy

A

results from an increase in the number of actin and myosin filaments in each muscle fiber = enlarges individual muscle fibers

47
Q

what is hyperplasia

A

formation of new muscle fibers

48
Q

what is muscle lengthening

A

occurs when muscles are stretched to a greater than normal length which causes new sarcomeres to be added at the ends of the muscle fibers where they attach to the tendons
