Correct
calcium binds to _____ in muscle contraction - ANSWER -troponin
at rest, calcium is ____ intracellular and stored in ____ - ANSWER -low,
sarcoplasmic reticulum
t tubules - ANSWER -dive deep into muscles
AP goes down and SR senses calcium levels
muscle relaxation - ANSWER -remove calcium
pump back into SR
use calcium and ATP pump / active transport
roles of ATP in muscle contraction - ANSWER -splitting of ATP by myosin
ATPase provides energy
binding of ATP to myosin to let cross bridge detach from actin
active transport of calcium back into SR
load - ANSWER -force exerted on muscle by weight of object
tension - ANSWER -force exerted on an object by contracting muscle
tension > load - ANSWER -can lift object
load > tension - ANSWER -cannot lift object
muscle twitch - ANSWER -response of a single muscle fiber to single AP
latent period of twitch - ANSWER -space until actually generating tension, need
new cross bridges to generate tension
contraction period of twitch - ANSWER -generating tension
relaxation time - ANSWER -inside the muscle
calcium has to be pumped back into SR
, skeletal muscle summating - ANSWER -increasing frequency of a stimulus
muscle is stimulated again before relaxation
tetanus - ANSWER -fused muscle contraction
usually 3-4x greater than single twitch
isotonic muscle contraction - ANSWER -tension and change in muscle length
concentric and eccentric
concentric muscle contraction - ANSWER -muscle shortens
ex) curling bicep
eccentric muscle contraction - ANSWER -muscle lengthens
ex) lowering bicep
isometric muscle contraction - ANSWER -tension but no length change
load > tension
ex) trying to push against a wall
nervous system control of muscle tension - ANSWER -frequency of stimulation
motor unit recruitment
muscle control of muscle tension - ANSWER -properties of skeletal muscles
how many fibers
what kind
length of fiber at contraction onset
extent of fatigue
cross section fiber
recruitment of motor units - ANSWER -adapting the number of active motor units
little fibers for delicate movements and lots of fibers for powerful movements
length of skeletal muscles in relation to tension - ANSWER -shortened muscles
can't develop as much tension (less actin / myosin overlap)
velocity - ANSWER -not necessarily more tension but going faster
slow-oxidative pathway - ANSWER -type 1
slow
