single stimulation, contraction, relaxation
what occurs in a latent period of a twitch?
beings at stimulation, no tension, everything that happens BEFORE myosin head pivots
what happens during the contraction phase?

stimuli immediately after relaxation
what does multiple motor unit summation of recruitment do?

smaller ones - they are slower to contract and respond to weaker CNS stimulus
once an action potential reaches the sarcolemma, which motor units are used?
fast/large ones
what does asynchronous motor unit summation do?
sustain muscle activity for a long period of time because they're not recruited at the same time (you use up one, then another) ex: holding your head up
muscle tone allows us to do what?
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:
frequent, brief, intense workouts
aerobic exercise is:
warm-up to get blood flow to myofibrils, low level exercises
can atrophy be reversed?
yes, as long as the muscle fiber doesn't die.
