Repolarization

26
Q

How many milliseconds does it take for muscles to react?

A

2 milliseconds

27
Q

 chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.  It is at the neuromuscular junction that a motor neuron is able to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction.

A

Neuromuscular Junction

28
Q

Neuromuscular Junction is also known as

A

myoneural junction

29
Q

 the neurotransmitter used at the neuromuscular junction to activate muscles contraction  drugs that influence this neurotransmitter can cause various degrees of movement disruption or even paralysis  carries signals from motor neurons to the body’s skeletal muscles  drugs that affect cholinergic systems can have very dangerous effects ranging from paralysis to convulsions.

A

ACETYLCHOLINE

30
Q

Why does stroke and numbness happen?

A

Because acetylcholine ethanolamine neurotransmitter is blocks

31
Q

Sedatives that block electrical impulses

A

Anesthesia, alcohol, tranquilizer, sleeping pills

32
Q

Outer covering of muscle fiber/myofibril

A

Sacrolema

33
Q

Spaces/area contains actin myosin

A

Sacromere

34
Q

These allow muscle to contract

A

Actin/ myosin

35
Q

 Single muscular contraction in response to stimulus.
◦ Lots of people get twitches in the eyelid, thumb & calf muscle.
◦ go away after a few
◦ stress or anxiety related

A

Muscle twitch

36
Q

3 phases of muscle twitch

A

◦ Latent phase – application of stimulus/beginning of contraction
◦ Contraction phase
◦ Relaxation Phase

37
Q

Muscle twitch are due to?

A

◦ stress, too much caffeine, a poor diet, exercise, or as a side effect of some medicines.

38
Q

is prolonged contraction without relaxation and results from repeating stimulation before the muscle has a chance to relax at all.

A

Tetanus

39
Q

is the addition of a second twitch, resulting in greater tension, and it results from stimulating the muscle before it has a chance to relax completely.

A

summation or treppe

40
Q

 Aerobic production of ATP during exercise and normal condition  Anaerobic ATP production during intensive short term work.  Conversion of CREATINE PHOSPHATE to ATP  Conversion of 2 ADP to one ATP and one AMP during heavy exercise.

A

Energy requirement/ muscle contraction

41
Q

What is the difference bet. aerobic production of ATP and anaerobic ATP production

A

Aerobic production has the presence of oxygen while anaerobic ATP production has less oxygen but more CO2

42
Q

 Temporary state of reduced work capacity

A

Muscle Fatigue

43
Q

we experience muscle fatigue because?

A

◦ Build up of lactic acid ◦ Drop in PH (acidosis) ◦ Depletion of ATP (increase consumption) ◦ Oxidative stress (build up of ROS – free radicals) ◦ Localized inflammatory reactions.

44
Q
  • reduced amount of ATP to bind to myosin filament. Incapable of contracting/relaxing. Psychological Fatigue
  • involves the CNS (“perceives contraction is NOT possible.
A

Physiological Contracture

45
Q

Symptoms of muscle fatigue

A

◦ soreness. ◦ localized pain. ◦ shortness of breath. ◦ muscle twitching. ◦ trembling. ◦ a weak grip. ◦ muscle cramps.

46
Q

Aid for muscle fatigue

A

RICE (rest,ice, compression, elevation)

47
Q

growth and increase of the size of muscle cells. The most common type of muscular hypertrophy occurs as a result of physical exercise such as weightlifting, and the term is often associated with weight training

A

Muscle hypertrophy

48
Q

is when muscles waste away due to lack of physical activity. This can happen when a disease or injury makes it difficult or impossible to move an arm or leg

A

Muscle atrophy

49
Q

is a strong, painful contraction or tightening of a muscle that comes on suddenly and lasts from a few seconds to several minutes. It often occurs in the legs.

A

Muscle cramp

50
Q

These are under isotonic contraction

A

Concentric and Eccentric

51
Q

=during the upward phase of exercise
=biceps brachii produces tension and shortens
= pulls the forearm upwards to cause flexion of the elbow

A

Concentric

52
Q

=downward phase of exercise
=biceps brachii produces tension and lengthens
=it slows the lowering of the forearm and controls extension of the elbow

A

Eccentric

53
Q

=Holding the weight still
=briceps brachii develops tension and stays the same length
=it stops flexion and extension of the elbow

A

Isometric contraction

54
Q

 Muscles are attached to the bones by

A

TENDONS

55
Q

How many muscles are there in human body (adult)

A

640

56
Q

this deals with MUSCLES:

 Location  Size  Shape  Orientation of fascicles  Origin & insertion  Number of Heads  Function

A

Muscular nomenclature

57
Q

▪ orbicularis oculi, ▪ nasalis, ▪ levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, ▪ depressor labii inferioris, ▪ procerus, ▪ auriculars, ▪ zygomaticus major, ▪ zygomaticus minor, ▪ buccinator, ▪ occipitofrontalis, ▪ corrugator supercilii, risorius, ▪ depressor anguli oris, orbicularis oris, ▪ mentalis.

A

Facial and mastication muscles

58
Q

These muscles act to change the volume of the thoracic cavity during respiration.

A

Thoracic muscles

59
Q

What are the effects of aging on skeletal muscle

A

=slow progressive loss of skeletal muscle mass begins as a direct result of increasing inactivity
=size and power of all muscles tissues also decrease
=lost muscle mass is replaced by either adipose or fibrous connective tissue
=muscle strength and endurance are impaired
=decreased cardiovascular performance
=increased circulatory supply to active muscles occurs much more slowly
=tolerance for exercise decreases
=tendency toward rapid fatigue
=muscle tissue has a reduced capacity to recover from disease or injury
=elasticity of skeletal muscle also decreases

60
Q

Examples of diseases /disorder of muscular system

A

 muscular dystrophy (muscle weakening diseases),
 Muscular atrophy
 Muscular Hypertrophy
 tendonitis (degenerative tendon disease),
 fibromyalgia (chronic pain),
 mitochondrial myopathy (mitochondria ATP disorder),
 myasthenia gravis (immune system problem),
