25
Site of aerobic respiration in skeletal muscles
mitochondria
26
Organelle responsible for muscle contraction
Myofibril
27
Sarcoplasmic reticulm
net that surrounds muscle fibers,
28
Sarcoplasmic reticulum function
Controls calcium levels by storing and releasing
29
T-Tubules
tubes that run around muscle fibers by the sarcoplasmic reticulum
30
T-tubules function
allow for rapid transmission of "action potentials"
31
name of the muscles cytoplasm
sarcoplasm
32
What are myofibrils composed of
two kinds of myo fillaments
33
what are the two types of myo filaments
Myosin and Actin
34
Which is thicker, myosin or Actin
Myosin
35
Myo filament that looks like a string pearls
Actin
36
Myofillament that looks like a tree trunk with barnacles
Myosin
37
Basic functional unit of skeletel muscle
Sacromere
38
Sacromere
Section of a muscle fiber seperated by Z line
39
Structure of Actin
of two strings of monomers wrapped around each other
40
Structure of Myosin
Unusual shape: one end is shaped like a long rod and the other end is double headed (like…a 2-headed snake OR a 2-headed golf club).
41
Alpha-Actinin
anchors the actin to the z line on bothe ends
42
Troponin-tropomyosin function
prevents myosin-actin bonding during relaxation and facilitates bonding during contraction
43
how does a sarcomere contract
when the heads of the myosin filament pull on the 2 actin filaments
44
why does a myo fibril contract
simultaneous contraction of sarcomeres in a myofibril
45
why does a muscle fiber contract
Because all sacromeeres in all myofibrils contract simultaneously
46
how quickley is ATP depleted
6 seconds (once vigorours activity starts)
47
Jpw dpes ADP interacte with creatine phosphate
anerobicly
48
creatine phosphate
high energy compound stored in muscles
49
How quickly does ADP react with creatine
almsot instaentaneously
50
how long can creatine phosphate and ADP sustain maximum muscle power
10-15
51
Glycolysis
the initial pathway of glucose respiration, forms 2 pryuciv acid and a small amount of ATP
52
when there is an oxygen shortage, what happens to the pyruvic acid
it is converted into lactic acid (less efficient byt faster)
53
how long does anaerobic respiration provide ATP
30-40 minutes
54
what produces most of the ATP
respiration
55
Aerobic Respiration
Whem muscles are actively contracting, glucose becomes the primary fuel source.
56
where does aerobic respiration occur
the mitochondria
57
what does Aerobic respiration require
oxygen
58
results of aerobic respiration
glucose is broken down completley, resulting in large amounts of Atp
59
activities associated with anerobic repiration
tennis and soccer
60
activities associated with aerobic repiration
jogging and marathon runs
61
how many places are muscles attached to bone usually
two
62
insertion
the moveable bone
63
the origin
the immovable or less moveable bone
64
how do muscles create movement
pulling (nevr pushing)
65
what are skeletal muscles controlled by
a neuron
66
where are neurons located
Neroumascular junction
67
Synaptic cleft
gap between terminal end of the neuron and the muscle
68
what initaties muscle movement
nerve impulse
69
action potential
wave of depolarization along the nerve membrane
70
motor endplate
point where the nuron's axon is attached to the muscle fiber
71
what happens when the wave of depolarization reaches the motor endplate
the membrane of the axons synaptic knob release acetylcholine into
72
acetylcholine
neurotransmiter across neuromuscular junction
73
why cant myosin interact with actin in resting muscle
the myosin heads are covered with tropinin
74
what happens when tropanin binds with calcium
they change shape and are repositioned to not interfere with the myosin and actin
