Steps to Muscle Activation
In step 3, this neurotransmitter is released which will open up the Na K pump
What is acetylcholine? (Ach)
This band appears as a darker region in the muscle striations.
What is the A band?
This is how many molecules of ATP are generating through aerobic respiration.
What is 32?
This is the kind of muscle you find in the hollow organs. You cannot control them either!
What is smooth muscle?
When did Mr. Ponce get married? (Hint: it was the same day as the APES test)
May 10th, 2024
This is the first step in muscle activation
What is neuron activation of a motor neuron?
This zone in the middle of the sarcomere seems to disappear when the muscle is contracted
What is the H zone?
Aside from ATP, these are the products of aerobic respiration
What are water and CO2?
This type of muscle fibers are branched, allowing for perfect synchronizations between muscle fibers
What are cardiac muscles?
Name one of Mr. Ponces pets
Olive, Rico, or Quinn
This ion is responsible for the release in Ach in step 3
What is calcium?
This bulging protrusions on the thick filaments seem to reach up and pull the thin filaments during a contraction
What are the myosin heads?
This is what "donates" a phosphate group to generate ATP from ADP
What is creatine?
This is the outmost layer covering the skeletal muscle tissues
What is the epimysium?
What is Mr. Ponces astrological sign?
He is a gemini
This is the name for when the charge of the inside of the muscle fibers "flip" and then propagates to the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one and the next one....
What is depolarization?
This is the myofilament that is found in BOTH the I and A bands
What is actin?
In intense, oxygen and glucose deficient conditions, ATP generates from Pyruvic Acid. It also generates this
What is lactic acid?
This is the muscle type that is ALWAYS single nucleated
What is smooth muscle?
Spider-Man
This is the channel that allows the flow of ions into the muscle fibers. Ions flow both in and out!
What is the Sodium-Potassium pump?
At the edge of the sarcomere, this structure acts like an anchor for the thin filaments
What is the Z-disc?
This organelle uses glucose and oxygen to generate ATP.
What is the mitochondria?
Cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle share this distinct, visible feature
What is striation?
Who is Mr. Ponce fav student
Everyone!
