25
Run perpendicular to SR and terminate near z lines between two vesicles
T tubules
26
T tubules are continuous with...
Sarcolemma at surface
27
Discharge of AP arrives nearly...
Simultaneously from surface to all depths
28
States that actin slide inward on myosin, pulling z lines to center
Sliding filament theory
29
Causes movement during SFT
Flexion of cross bridges on actin
30
How must flexions occur
Very rapid and repeated
31
Phases of SFT. 5
Resting, excitation contraction coupling, contraction,recharge, relaxation
32
Little Calcium present, few bound cross bridges, no tension
Resting
33
SR stimulated to release calcium during
Excitation contraction coupling
34
Calcium binds with
Troponin
35
During contraction, energy comes from
Hydrolysis of ATP to ADP
36
Another ATP must replace ADP in order...
For cross bridge head to detach and recock
37
If calcium is present..
Continuation of contraction. Relaxation if not present
38
Recharge continues as long as there is...
Calcium, ATP, and myosin ATPase
39
Relaxation occurs when...
Motor nerve isn't stimulated and calcium is pumped back into SR.
40
All fibers simultaneously activated when...
Motor neuron fires impulse
41
Extent of control of muscle depends on...
Number of fibers within each motor unit
42
Action potential is NOT...
Capable of directly exciting fibers
43
AP causes chemical transmission and release of
Acetylcholine
44
All fibers in motor unit contract and develop force at same time
All or none principle
45
Short period of activation is called
Twitch
46
Force summates if..
A second twitch elicited before complete relaxation
47
Twitches merge and fuse..
Tetanus
48
Maximal amount of force a motor unit can develop
Tetanus
49
Fast twitch motor unit
Type ii
50
Slow twitch motor unit
Type I
51
Type ii twitch time..
Short
52
Type I twitch time..
Long
53
Type I Are..
Efficient, fatigue resistant, aerobic
54
Type ii Are...
Inefficient, fatiguable, anaerobic
55
Muscular force graded in two ways...
Variation in frequency. Recruitment
56
Variation in frequency is...
As frequency increases, forces summate, force increases
57
Recruitment
Varying number of activated motor units
58
Maximal force production does not occur early in ROM if muscle is unloaded prior to muscle action
Preloading
59
Recruitment patterns will vary depending on...
Joint position
60
Preloading is important for...
Developing strength early in ROM, especially at high velocities
61
Specialized sensory receptors in joints, muscles, tendons
Proprioceptors
62
Job of proprioceptors...
Relay information about muscle dynamics to CNS
63
Muscle length and rate of change
Spindles
64
Spindles indicate..
Degree to which muscle must be activated in order to overcome a given resistance
65
LocAted in tendons near myotendinous junctions
GTOs
66
GTOs activated when
Tendon is stretched
67
Neural input from GTOs...
Inhibits muscle activation. Protects against excessive tension
