Test 2 A&P lecture Flashcards
what is hematopoiesis?
creating blood cells in red bone marrow
what is pTH
parathryoid gland, regulates calcium (& helps break down bone??)
Where is calcitonin from?
One of the hormones secreted from parathyroid gland
what is interstitial and appositional growth
interstitial growth is increase in length, appositional growth is increase in width
what does calmodulin and calsequestrin do
return calcium back to the SR (sarcoplasmic reticulum), also calmodulin is for smooth muscle
what is oxygen debt
after excersizing, your body is recovering all the mitochondria, getting rid of lactic acid (takes 48 hours), refilling myofibrils and glycogen aswell
forms of energy in muscle
creatine phosphate - short term energy
glycogen - like 2 atp, next to creatine phosphate
aerobic respiration - 36-38 atp long term energy
glycogen and creatine phosphate are anearobic
no atp =
fatigue
fast glycolytic; describe and give example
anaerobic, white, less atp and myoglobin, using energy very fast like a runner, or weightlifter
slow oxidative; describe and give an example
red, lots of myoglobin and atp, endurance, long term, like a marathon runner
as voltage increase (what else increases)
motor units (recruitment)
isometric and isotonic (2 phases of isotonic aswell)
isometric length does not chance, good for posture, tension and tone (plank)
isotonic length does change:
eccentric: ex going down is easier
concentric: going back up against the weight
what is wave summation
you don’t let the muscle relax, and as it’s in the middle of relaxing, shock it and each contraction is stronger than the next
what is recruitment
motor units, and all the motor neurons and fibers it stimulates recruiting more and more
what is it called when the myosin head binds to the myosin binding site
cross bridge
what ist it called during muscle contraction where actin is pulled towards the m line
power stroke (2 atp is needed to attach and let go)
what is it called when one is out of ATP
rigor mortis
what is latent period and lag time
Latent period : time needed to release Ca 2+ (calcium)
Relaxation period : time needed for Ca 2+ to return back to the SR by ACTIVE Transport
what is released as a relaxing process
ACh E is released to destroy ACh and allows muscles to rest, to not be overly relaxed or continuously stimulated
where is ACh stored
vessiscles
you can stimulate a neuron:
electrically or chemically
ACh (neurotransmitter) inhibits and and stimulates:
inhibits cardiac muscle, stimulates skeletal muscle
what goes down a motor neuron
nerve action potential
what is tetany and what muscles have it
tetany just means stiff, skeletal muscles have tetany and fatigue
treppe
higher contracting each time, but allowing yourself to fully relax
muscle fibers for everyone is ___________, a bigger person will have more _______ , but ______
muscle fibers for everyone is different, however a bigger person may have more mitochondria and myofibrils, but the number of muscle fibers itself stay the same
hypertrophy and atrophy
hypertrophy = bigger muscles
atrophy = smaller muscles from disuse (lesser muscle fibers and size)
what do muscle action potential go through?
t-tubules
