🗑
what does myoglobin do   grabs O2 when it is abundant, releases it when its scarce  
🗑
where is myoglobin an O2 binder   in muscle cells  
🗑
how many ATPs does glycolosis provide   2  
🗑
how many ATPs does cellular respiration provide   36 for each glucose  
🗑
what type of energy is used for sustained excersice   cellular respiration  
🗑
what happens when O2 is low   fermentation (anaerobic) occurs  
🗑
what does fermentation do   converts pyruvic acid to lactic acid  
🗑
what happens during muscle fatigue   lowered release of Ca2+, keeps pH where it should be  
🗑
what is oxygen needed for   convert lactic acid back to glycogen, make creatine phosphate, refill myoglobin  
🗑
what provides the total tension of muscle   the number of fibers involved  
🗑
what encompases a twitch contraction   latent period, contraction period, relaxation period  
🗑
when does the latent period occur   between muscle stimulus  
🗑
what happens during the latent period   calcium is being released and the myosin heads start to bind to actin  
🗑
what happens during the contraction period   repetitive power strokes occur increasing tension and force  
🗑
what happens during the relaxation period   calcium ion is reducing and being returned to the sarcoplasm  
🗑
what stimulation is the strongest   the 2nd stimulation is stronger then the first, and so on (called wave summation)  
🗑
what happens during unfused tenatus   lots of calcium ion is being released from sarcoplasm, making the waves more level, and no relaxation, can lead to muscle cramps  
🗑
how many stimuli/second constitute fused tenatus   90  
🗑
what happens during motor unit recruitment   neurons fire asynchronoly (at different times), some relaxing, some contracting, all smooth  
🗑
what are precise movements controlled by   small motor units  
🗑
what are the three types of skeletal muscle   slow oxidative fibers (SO), fast oxidative-glycolytic fibers (FOG), fast glycolitic fibers (FG)  
🗑
what type of skeletal muscle is small, dark, has lots of myoglobin and mitochondria, makes ATP aerobically, has slow contractors, and is hard to fatigue   Slow oxidative fibers (SO)  
🗑
what type of skeletal muscle is intermediate in size, has lots of myoglobin, makes ATP aerobically, and has a moderate fatigue rate   fast oxidative glycolitic fibers (FOG)  
🗑
what type of skeletal muscle is white, large, generates the most powerful rapid contractions, has little myoglobin, few mitochondria, large amounts of glycogen, short quick movements, and fatigues the quickest   fast glycolitic fibers (FG)  
🗑
how many fibers in a muscle group are slow oxidative   about half  
🗑
what muscular groups have lots of slow oxidative muscles   postural muscles  
🗑
what type of muscles are fast glycolitic   muscles we use alot  
🗑
what types of skeletal muscles are in our legs   slow oxidative and fast oxidative glycolitic  
🗑
what happens during and isometric contraction   no change in muscle length during contraction but lots of tension generated; no movement  
🗑
what happens during an isotonic contracion   change in muscle length, movement  
🗑
are most movements generally isometric or isotonic   generally both  
🗑
what determines the ratio of fast to slow twitch muscle fibers   genetics  
🗑
who has a higher ratio of FG/SO   sprinters, weight lifters  
🗑
who has a higher ratio of SO/FG   endurance athletes  
🗑
what does strength training do   increases fiber size and thickness of the thin and thick filaments  
🗑
what do anabolic steroids do   increase muscle fiber strength and size, but damage the liver, heart and kidney, cause mood swings, testicle atrophy, and baldness

🗑
what are the features of cardiac muscle   shorter then skeletal muscle, branched and large in diameter, single nucleus, intercalated disks for communication

🗑
why do skeletal muscles twitch   because of a nerve impulse and release of acetylcholine  
🗑
why do hearts beat   because of an internal pace maker

what is the motor end plate   region of the sarcolemma near the axon terminal  
🗑
what happens in the neuromuscular junction   acetocholine binds to ion channels, opens them, sodium flows in, this causes action potential
