Q

What are the different types of muscle contraction

A

IsoTONIC - Tone is the same, Tension is constant but muscle changes length
- Concentric Isotonic - muscle shortens during a contraction (lifting weight)
- Essentric Isotonic Contraction - muscle lengths during contraction (slowly controlling down)
IsoMETRIC - Tension without changing the muslce length, important for posture, example - plank

Q

What are the sequence of events in the contraction cycle of a muscle?

A
  1. Sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca2+ into sarcoplasm
  2. Ca2+ binds to troponin
  3. Troponin moves tropomyosin away from myosin-binding site on actin
  4. Contraction Cycle can begin
    - ATP Hydrolysis
    - Attachment of myosin to actin
    - Power stroke
    - Detachment of myosin from actin

Endocrine — secrete hormones into the bloodstream and are far reaching impact Exocrine — secrete into ducts and have more local / limited impact
52
What are the functions and components of a neuron?
Neurons convert stimuli into electrical signals called nerve action potentials Axon - Relays output, to another neuron or tissue Dendrite - Receives input, tapering and highly branched Cell Body - contains nucleus and organelles
