Q

why could it be useful for muscle fibres (cells) to have multiple nuclei?

A

nuclei enable the cell to make proteins, repair, proteins, and grow proteins.

Q

why the physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) of a muscle is considered one of the greatest predictors of force-generating capacity?

A

The force a muscle can generate is directly related to its PCSA. As the cross-sectional area increases, there is a larger number of muscle fibres available for contraction.

Q

The knee joint has a relatively large range of motion. Is it likely that the muscles that produce force in knee motion are long or short?

A

long.

Q

muscle fibres, myofibrils, fascicle

list the top concepts first.

A

muscle fibres > fascicle > myofibrils

> means ‘consist of’

25
Q

when active force is generated and which factors contribute to it?

A
  • active force is generated when the muscle is contracted.
  • actin and myosin
26
Q

what is the contractile component (CC)?

A

actin and myosin coss bridge

27
Q

what is the series elastic component (SEC)?

A

titin and tendon

28
Q

what is the parallel elastic component (PEC)?

A

epimysium, endomysium, and perimysium

29
Q

Force is influenced by the fibre type of active motor units. explain it

A

Type 1- slow oxidative motor units, slow twitch, low force, fatigue resistant

Type 2A - fast oxidative motor units, quicker twitch duration, higher force, less fatigue resistant than Type 1

Type 3B - fast glycotic, fast twitch, more force, fatigues quickly

30
Q

Force is influenced by the fibre type of active motor units. explain it

A

Type 1- slow oxidative motor units, slow twitch, low force, fatigue resistant

Type 2A - fast oxidative motor units, quicker twitch duration, higher force, less fatigue resistant than Type 1

Type 3B - fast glycolytic, fast twitch, more force, fatigues quickly

31
Q

there are two types of skeletal muscle fibres: oxidative and glycolytic

which type of skeletal muscle has more myoglobin?

A

oxidative one. Because O2 binds to myoglobin more than haemoglobin - efficient transfer of O2 from blood to muscle

32
Q

What is Henneman’s size principle?

A

motor units are categorized based on the size and strength of their motor neuron.

small motor units are recruited first -> intermediate -> large

33
Q

what are isometric, concentric, and eccentric?

A

isometric - same length
concentric - shortening
eccentric - lengthening

34
Q

true or false

an eccentrically contracting muscle can produce more force at the same length than a concentrically contracting muscle.

A

true

why is the ‘irregular’ which is the type of bone structure important?

A

it is important for protection, support, movement and hematopoiesis.

Q

bone consists of two things, which are _____

Q

what is osteoclasts

A

it is a very large cell and has many nuclei.

osteoclasts are responsible for bone RESORPTION and BREAK DOWN of bone tissue.

50
Q

what is osteoblasts

A

it is responsible for CREATING bone matrix and BUILDING bone

51
Q

what is osteocytes

A

it is responsible for MAINTAINING bone matrix.

52
Q

what is osteogenic cells

A

it is a stem cell and develops into an osteoblast and osteocyte.

53
Q

how myo electric action potentials are initiated?

A

by acetylcholine by the motor neuron and it binds to proteins on muscle cell membrane

54
Q

how myo electric action potentials are initiated

A

by acetylcholine released by the motor neuron. it binds to proteins on the muscle cell membrane.

55
Q

where myo electric action potential is propagated?

A

T tubules
