Q

Tropomysin

A

Blocks myosin binding sites

21
Q

Troponin

A

Binds with calcium to pull tropomysin away from myosin binding sites

22
Q

Define motor unit

A

One motor neuron and all of the fibers it innervates

23
Q

Define neuromuscular junction

A

The location where neuron meets muscle

24
Q

Types of muscle contraction

A

Concentric Isotonic
Eccentric Isotonic
Isometric

25
Concentric Isotonic Contraction
Muscle shortens
26
Eccentric Isotonic Contraction
Muscle lengthens
27
Isometric Contraction
Muscle stays the same length
28
Order of muscle metabolism
Phosphate Transfer Glycolysis Aerobic repiration
29
Where does Phosphate transfer take place
Mitochondria
30
Where does glycolysis take place
cytoplasm
31
Where does aerobic respiration take place
Mitochondria
32
When does phosphate transfer take place
5 seconds to 10 seconds
33
What is phosphate transfer
The transfer of a phosphate to ADP to produce ATP
34
When does glycolysis take place
From 10 seconds to 1 min
35
Does glycolysis use oxygen
No
36
When does Aerobic respiration take place
From 1 minute to end of workout
37
What is Oxygen Debt
Oxygen stores need to be replenished after exersize Restore glycogen Restore ATP Convert lactic acid back to glucose
38
Function of Red fiber
Aerobic ATP production
39
Function of Pink fiber
Aerobic ATP production
40
Function of White fiber
Anaerobic ATP production
41
Characteristics of Red fiber
Lots of energy for sustained contraction Not powerful Postural muscles Lots of blood vessels, mitochondria and myoglobin
42
Characteristics of Pink fiber
Fast, powerful contractions
43
Characteristics of White fiber
Fast, powerful contractions
44
Results of aerobic exersize
Improvements in cardiovascular health Increases bone density Increases in muscle capillaries, number of mitochondria, and myoglobin synthesis
45
Results of resistance exersize
Muscle hypertrophy (due to increased muscle size) Increase in strength and endurance Increase in bone density
46
Connection point between 2 nerve cells
Synapse or Neuronal junction
47
Connection point between neuron and muscle cell
Neuromuscular junction
48
Motor unit recruitment
The activation of additional motor units to accomplish an increase in contractile strength in a muscle
