- once an action potential reaches the sarcolemma, which motor units are used?
- fast/large ones
- what does asynchronous motor unit summation do?

- be upright
- are some muscle units always active?
- YES - keeps us upright
- what are the 2 types of muscle contractions?
- isotonicc and isometric
- what is an isotonic contraction?
- tension increases and skeletal muscle length changes
- the two types of isotonic contractions are:
- concentric and eccentric
- a concentric contraction is:
- peak tension exceeds the load - muscle shortens (bicep curls)
- an eccentric contraction is:
- peak tension is less than the load; muscle elongates and extends (like tug of war with a car)
- an isometric contraction is:
- muscle as a whole does not change length because the tension produced doesn't exceed the load (ex: trying to lift a weight that is too heavy)
- during anaerobic glycolysis, glucose will break into:
- pyruvic acid (2) and ATP (2)
- excess pyruvic acid is converted into:
- lactic acid
- we experience muscle fatigue when the muscle can no longer
- contract
- what does lactic acid do to a muscle cells?
- decreases the pH in sarcoplasm and prevents calcium bonding
- during the recovery period of muscle fatigue, what happens to lactic acid?
- it's recycled or released to liver and turns it back into ATP
- what is a fast fiber type?
- contracts quickly, fatigues quickly; white fibers
- what are slow muscle fibers?
- dark/red; used when you need long periods of contraction and are slower to contract, slower to fatigue
- what is an intermediate fiber?
- looks like a fast fiber, but it has a more extensive capillary bed than a fast fiber and is more resistant to fatigue
- what is muscle hypertrophy?
- repeated exhaustive stimulation of muscle fibers will increase the number of mitochondria, glycogen storage, myofibrils and filaments within the myofibrils (body building) - you increase the diameter of cell size
- anaerobic exercise training is:
