31
Q

When the SR releases the calcium into cytoplasm, it binds to troponin causing both proteins to shift off of actin and expose binding sites this allows for

A

Cross bridges to form between actin and myosin so that the sliding action can begin

32
Q

Muscle contraction requires

A

Energy (ATP)

35
Q

Glycogen stores what

A

36
Q

Creatine phosphate can be used as an

A

Interim energy source
(Generates atp independently of glucose)

37
Q

Fatty acids are stored as

A

Triglycerides
(Can be oxidized for energy)

38
Q

Most ATP is produced via

A

Aerobic metabolism
(Requires oxygen)

39
Q

Aerobic metabolism is efficient but has limitations which include (2)

A

Slow to start generating ATP
Requires a lot of oxygen

40
Q

What does excess post exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) represent?

A

The energy required to establish the resting rate; from rapid breathing

41
Q

What occurs in anaerobic ATP metabolism

A

Breakdown of creatine phosphate
Anaerobic glycolysis (lactic acid)

42
Q

What are the three types of muscle contractions

A

Muscle tone or tonus
Isotonic contraction
Isometric

43
Q

A partially contracted state of the muscle that is normal even when it is not in use (ex. posture maintenance) describes what type of muscle contraction

A

Muscle tone or tonus

44
Q

What muscle contraction is described as having no change in tension but the muscle length changes (ex. Walking)

A

Isotonic contraction

45
Q

What are the 2 types of isotonic contraction? Describe them

A

-Concentric contractions-muscle shortens
-Eccentric contractions- muscle lengthens

46
Q

What type of muscle contraction is described by a great increase in tension, muscle length is unchanged and there is no movement

A

Isometric
(Ex pushing against an immovable object)

47
Q

Muscles work in

A

Pairs

48
Q

What are prime movers (contract)

A

Muscle that performs the movement

49
Q

Antagonists (relax) is a muscle that produces the

A

Opposite movement to that of the prime mover

50
Q

What are synergists

A

Muscles that assist the prime movers to accomplish a movement
-stabilize the body during movement

51
Q

Synergists and prime movers are collectively known as

A

Agonists

Q

How many classes of levers are there that vary depending on the relative position of the fulcrum, effort and resistance

A

3 classes of levers

68
Q

What is rhabdomyolysis

Q

Rhabdomyolysis can cause

A

Irreversible kidney damage

70

72
Q

Myasthenia gravis affects who? What is a common early sign
