26
brain motor neurons inhibited by exercising muscles release ______, which is linked to fatigue
ammonia
27
what is the amount of oxygen the an individual can utilize during intense exercise called what are its units

28
every muscle contains a ____ of fiber types
mix
29
slow twitch fibers are also called
slow oxidative fibers
30
slow twitch muscles have _____ myoglobin than fast twitch fibers
more
31
which muscle fibers are more red
slow twitch
32
which muscle fibers are recruited for movement first why
slow twitch size principle; theyre smaller so they go first
33
do most humans have fast glycolytic fibers or fast oxidative fibers
fast glycolytic
34
bigger muscles have more ______
sarcomeres
35
what do fast twitch muscles have more of (2)
sarcomeres glycogen reserves
36
large motor units have more FG fibers/ power, but less _____
control
37
what 2 things do fast oxidative fibers have more of (think about it) what color are they
myoglobin blood vessels red
38
what is the term for being able to contract rhythmically and independently of the NS
autorythmic
39
what two things does the autonautic NS control for the heart
heart rate contraction strength
40
musle cells in a given heart chamber contract in _____
unison
41
what type of muscle fibers are shorter, thicker, and branched (relative to skeletal muscle)
cardiac
42
how many nuclei are in a given cardiomyocyte
1 or 2
43
what two types of facia do heart muscle cells lack
perimysium epimysium
44
what type of respiration does the heart use
aerobic
45
heart muscle cells have large _______
mitochondria
46
what do heart muscle cells get replaced with after their loss
scar tissue
47
in heart muscle cells, what is less developed and what is larger (relative to skeletal muscle)
sarcoplasmic reticulum less developed larger T tubules
48
what are tiny channels that allow the rapid passage of ions between cells in the heart
gap junctions
49
what are intercellular junctions in heart muscle cells that provide strong adhesion between cells
desmosomes
50
what joins cardiomyocytes together
intercalated discs
51
what layer is on the outside of a smooth muscle what layer is on the inside of a smooth muscle
longitudinal circular
52
how do smooth muscles modify pressure and flow of blood in the circulatory/ respiratory system
dilating or constricting
53
goosebump muscles and the iris contain _____ muscle
smooth
54
what shape are smooth muscles
fusiform
55
how many nuclei do smooth muscle cells have
1
56
how many nuclei do skeletal muscles have
many
57
how does smooth muscle regenerate
mitosis and hypertrophy
58
what type of muscle has a net like structure of myofilaments
smooth muscle
59
what type of muscle cels lack nerve supply
smooth muscle
60
what is the equivalent to a z disc in smooth muscle cells
dense bodies
61
in smooth muscles, what filaments are attached to dense bodies what filaments are dispersed throughout the cytoplasm
actin myosin
62
what contain synaptic vesicles in smooth muscle that allow for ACh to be responded to
varicocities
63
what are the flask like invaginations on smooth muscle that increase surface area
caveolae
64
what does unitary mean in reference to smooth muscle
requires only 1 or 2 nerve fibers to activate an entire sheet of smooth muscle
65
what does multiunit refer to in smooth muscles
each myocyte contracts independently and has its own neuron
66
what type of smooth muscle contains gap junctions
unitary
67
what type of smooth muscle does not have gap junctions
multiunit
68
why is a smooth muscle contraction much slower than skeletal muscle
slow to break up ATP
69
what is it called when smooth muscles contract at regular intervals
audtorhythmicity
70
how does smooth muscle make most of its ATP
aerobically
71
what type of muscle does not contain myofibrils or sarcomeres
smooth muscle
72
where does smooth muscle get its calcium
extracellular fluid sarcoplasmic reticulum
73
what type of muscle does not have T tubules
smooth muscle
74
what protein does calcium bind to on smooth muscle
CaM
75
after calcium binds to CaM in smooth muscle, what happens to it
it activates a myosin light chain kinase (MLCK)
76
what happens after CaM activates MLCK
it adds a phosphate group to the myosin and myosin can then break ATP up so that it can perform its action
77
for smooth muscle relaxation, what 3 things must happen
calcium must leave the cell Ca dissociates from CaM a phosphate is removed from myosin
78
what enables myosin to remain attached to actin for a prolonged time without consuming more ATP what muscles do this
latch bridge mechanism smooth muscle
79
what is tetanus tonic contraction
smooth muscle tone
80
what happens in the GI tract that causes Ca channels to open
mechanical stretching
81
what is it called when a smooth muscle is stretched and it briefly contracts and resists, but then relaxes again (happens in the urinary tract so you dont pee yourself when your bladder is stretched)
stress relaxation response
82
what are 2 reasons smooth muscle can contract even when its stretched
there are no z discs myosin heads are everywhere in the muscle so they can attach anywhere and produce a strong response
83
what is a muscles ability to adjust its tension to the degree of stretch
plasticity
