Exam 3 Flashcards
(409 cards)
What is ATP used for?
- Each ratcheting action of each HMM head
- Re-polarization of the sacrolemma (and T tubules)
- Energy for the calcium pump (to pull Ca back into the lateral sacs)
How much energy of muscle is actually used for contraction
1/4
What is other 3/4 of energy of muscle used for
Generate heat
What is first used if ATP is not freely available for muscle contraction
Creatine P
Why is Creatine Phosphate so important
Donates phosphorous to make ATP
What is creatine an indicator for?
Heart attack and muscle contraction
What is the second process used if ATP is not freely available and if creatine was exhausted
Use Kreb Cycle
is kreb cycle anaerobic or aerobic
aerobic
Kreb cycle uses what to make ATP
oxygen
What is the third process used if ATP is not freely available and if creatine was exhausted and if the kreb cycle was exhausted
Use glycolysis
Is glycolysis anaerobic or aerobic
anaerobic
Glycolysis creates ATP, but what does it also create
lactic acid
Is lactic acid good for the muscles
No
is lactic acid basic or acidic
acidic
What happens when you die (hint: muscles still)
rigor mortis
Why can’t your muscles contract during rigor mortis
Lateral sac can’t contain Ca so contractions begin until it uses all ATP once gone, cross bridging is locked into place
This is excessive damage to skeletal muscle
Rhabodomyolsis
What football team in 2011 got Rhabodomyolsis from an overachiever weight trainer
Iowa State
The Iowa State football team had ___X amounts of kinase, which is bad for your what
5, kidneys
Do myofibrils orient with each other
yes
Name one muscle damage with myofibrils
Sometimes myofibrils do not line up and have wrong arrangement
What is unique about the muscle fixing self
While fixing self, muscle is still working and contracting
Is smooth muscle striated or unstriated
nonstriated
Smooth muscle lacks what
myofibrils and sacromeres
