9473168141Structure of sarcolemma?Plasma membrane15
9473169910Myoglobin?Store O216

9473171593SRStore Ca2+18
9473173102T Tubule?Continuous with sarcolemma; closely associate with SR19
9473179655Myofibril is made up of?Thin and thick filament, Z disc and M line20
9473182747What is the thin filament made up of?Actin, tropomyosin, troponin21
9473185390What is the thick filament made up of?Myosin and titin22
9473187821What does tropomyosin do?Block myosin binding sites23
9473189368What does troponin do?Bind to Ca2+ to unblock the myosin binding site24
9473190884What does titin do?Resists over-stretching25
9473192725What are the Z disc and M line?Protein networks26
9473232530What is the A band?Dark band of sarcomere27
9473336920I band?Pale band28
9473338425SarcomereContains the pale and dark band29
9473343472Neuromuscular junction?Interaction between motor neuron and skeletal muscle cell30
9473458211Neurotransmitter released at neuromusclar junction?ACh which is removed by acetylcholinesterase31
9473461692AP generation on sarcolemma?AP at axon terminal - Ca2+ influx - ACh exocytosis - ACh binds to receptor - Chemical gated Na+ channels open - Na+ influx - Depolarization - voltaged-gated Na+ channels open - Na+ influx - threshold potential - positive feedback - depolarized to AP - voltaged gated K+ channels open - K+ efflux - repolarization32
9473505258Cross bridge cycle1. AP goes along T tubule and opens Ca2+ channels in SR 2. Ca2+ enters cytosol and binds to troponin 3. Tropomyosin shifts position to expose binding sites 4. Myosin head binds to actin 5. Power stroke of myosin head causes sliding33
9473555994Function of ATP in cross bridge cycle?ATP allows myosin to detach from actin (rigormortis without ATP) Hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and P, provides energy: Low energy into higher energy state34
9473826956Does cross bridge cycle stop immediately after AP disappears?Not until Ca2+ returns to SR35
9473830164What is shortened during isotonic contraction?Sarcomere36
9473878693Structure of muscle sheath?Dense fibrous connective tissue37
9473881520Epimysium structure?Enclose the whole muscle38
9473881521Perimysium structure?Enclose each fascicle39
9474030912EndomysiumEncloses each muscle fiber40
9474032451Motor unit?Made up of motor neurons41
9476160286Muscle fatigueDecline in ability of a muscle to generate force42
9476177465Muscle toneContinuous and passive partial contraction of the muscles43
9476196577Isometric ContractionOf or involving muscular contraction against resistance in which the length of the muscle remains the same.44
9476208724Isotonic ContractionOf or involving muscular contraction against resistance in which the length of the muscle changes. Antonym is isometric. Isotonic movements are either concentric (working muscle shortens) or eccentric (working muscle lengthens).45
9476228182Name and describe three periods of muscle twitch?Latent - The latent period is the time from when the stimulus is delivered to the first indications of contraction in the muscle Contraction - The contraction period, or contraction time, is the time it takes the muscle to reach its peak contraction after the latent period. Relaxation - The relaxation period is the time the muscle takes to return to resting tension after reaching its peak contraction.46
9476268699Define wave summationSecond stimulus before relaxation causes increased force47
9476336988Fused tetanusSmooth, sustained contraction (under high frequency stimuli)48
9476381729How does the muscle respond to increased strength of stimulus?Recruitment of motor units (Subthreshold, threshold, maximal)49
9476506640How is ATP generated for muscle?CP Pathway (Donate p to ADP) Anaerobic glycolysis (produces lactic acid) Aerobic pathway (cellular respiration, produce the most ATP) 60% energy from ATP hydrolysis is wasted as heat50
9476516175What affects contraction force in a given muscle?Size of muscle fiber, recruitment, frequency of stiumli, optimal length51
9476535763Slow FibersRed, aerobic pathway, slow fatigue52
9476543236Fast fibersWhite, anaerobic glycolysis, fast fatigue. A muscle usually has mixed fiber types. Fibers in one motor unit are the same type53
9476547506What makes a given muscle contract fast?Less load, recruit more muscle fibers, more fast fibers (through resistance exercise)54
9476553542What makes a given muscle contract for longer duration?Less load, recruit more muscle fibers, more slow fibers (through endurance exercise)55
9476555763Why are some muscles more powerful than others?Contain more muscle fibers56
9476604452Smooth muscleNo T tubule, poor SR, Ca2+ mainly from outside Gap junctions; Use Less ATP Stimulation: by nerve (through varicosities); by chemicals.57
9476655165OriginThe fixed attachment (doesnt move)58
9476727744Insertion59
