Muscle Introduction
These anchor thin filaments, connecting each myofibril to the next.
What is the Z disc?
This is the muscle contraction that builds up and is after multiple stimuli, it explains why warm ups are helpful.
What is the Treppe (staircase) effect?
This is where aerobic respiration occurs.
What is the mitochondria?
This muscle contraction contracts the muscle without changing its length.
What is an isometric contraction?
This indicates that growth is still happening in length through a bone.
What is an epiphyseal plate?
This zone disappears when muscles contract
What is the H Zone?
This is contractions when at the highest firing rate, which results in a sustained muscle.
What is fused (complete) tetanus?
This is the ability of a muscle to stretch without tearing.
What is extensibility?
This respiration creates only 2 ATP, but is quick.
This joint is the least mobile of all synovial joints.
What is a gliding joint?
The four functions of a muscle.
What is producing movement, maintaining posture, stabilizing joints, and generating heat.
This process is the initial energy supplied within the muscle for contraction
What is direct phosphorylation?
This fast twitch muscle has more amounts of mitochondria and myoglobin.
What is Type 2A Muscle fibers?
This is when the muscle is shortening because enough force is generated to overcome the resistance.
What is a concentric isotonic contraction?
This type of cartilage can be found at the end of a bone.
What is articular cartilage?
The place where Carbon is transported.
What is the T Tubules?
These are the three stages of muscle twitches?
What is the latent period, the contraction period, and the relaxation period?
This must be done to get rid of Oxygen Debt.
What is getting rid of accumulated lactic acid?
This twitch uses aerobic and postural muscles.
What is slow twitch muscle fibers?
This endocrine autoimmune disease causes hyperthyroidism, where the immune system creates TSI, a hormone that acts like Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSI).
What is Grave's Disease?
The sarcoplasmic reticulum contains these two, one of which contains O2.
What is glucosomes and myoglobin?
This is stimulated by muscle fibers being stimulated while previous twitching occurs, wave of neurons, and stronger contraction of muscles.
What is wave summations?
This is what glucose is turned into, which in turn is turned into lactic acid in anaerobic glycolysis.
What is Pyruvic acid?
This occurs when damaged muscle tissue releases its proteins (myoglobin) and electrolytes into the blood.
What is rhabdomyolysis?
In the nervous system, this is a cone-line region where the axon arises.
What is the axon hillock?
