Unit 1 Quizes Flashcards
What surrounds a whole muscle, and which surrounds a fasciculus/fascicle?
Epimysium; Perimysium
A ___ is composed of muscle fibers; a ___ is composed of myofilaments of actin and myosin.
Fasciculus; Myofibril
A ——which primarily consists of actin and myosin; what is the functional contractile unit of skeletal muscle
Sarcomere
Primary muscle Agonists during the up portion of the back squat?
Rectus Femoris
How to correctly/safely do the back squat?
- Lifter push should lower the weight until the thighs are parallel to the floor or within a functional range of motion while keeping the knees from tracking across the plane of the toes
NO NOS
-Push through toes (should push through heels)
-Bar should not rest on the circle spine
-Lower back rounded
––is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and triggers a cascade of events that results in myosin-binding sites being exposed to the actin.
Calcium
—is the “thick” myofilament that contains the cross-bridge heads.
Myosin
During the excitation-contraction coupling phase of the sliding filament theory, calcium binds to _____ and causes a conformational shift. This shift then pulls _____ away from the myosin head binding sites located on actin.
troponin; tropomyosin
Which of the following is not considered proper technique when performing the forward-step lunge?
NOT—knee can touch the ground
Good:
The knee shouldn’t touch the ground.
60% of the weight should be forward.
During the up portion, the lifter should push through the heel.
A large enough step should be taken so the knee doesn’t go over the toes
In addition to the hip and knee extensors, what other muscle group is targeted by the sumo deadlift, power squat, and side lunge?
Hip abductors
What are the 5 phases of the Sliding Filament Theory?
- Resting phase
- Excitation and coupling Phase
- Contraction Phase
- Recharge Phase
- Relaxation Phase
- Low Calcium, no contractions
- Ca binds to troponin and pulls away tropomyosin (which was preventing the myosin heads from binding)
- Heads attach
What does step-ups Target?
Hip & Knee extension
Knee needs to be at 90 Degrees.
What is a closed/open kinetic chain?
The distal end (feet) is either
Open—Freely moving
Closed—Bound to the ground
The thin myofilament, containing the cross-bridge head binding sides
Actin
Strandlike structure wrapping around a myofilament, covering the cross-bridge head binding sites
Tropomyosin
Stored and released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Calcium
The thick myofilament, containing the cross bridgeheads
myosin
Undergoes a conformational shift after being bound by calcium
Troponin
Assumes a cocked configuration following ATP hydrolysis
Myosin
A Motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it innervates
motor neuron
Increasing tension developed by muscle fibers in response to repeated simulation
summation
What a motor neuron fire, all of its associated muscle fibers develop tension
All or none principle
The maximal amount of force a muscle fiber can generate due to repeated stimulation.
Tetanus
Area of a muscle fiber innervated by a motor neuron axonal terminus
motor end plate
Electrical impulse propagated along a neuron or muscle fiber.
action potential
