Size principle
Definition
smaller, slower nerve fibers activate smaller less powerful motor units activate as needed
Term
extrinsic muscle
Definition
muscle that is outside a body part, organ, or bone
Term
Large motor units
Definition
large, less sensitive neurons for strength, many muscle fibers
Term
calcium ions
Definition
sometimes from from SR, most of time from ECF through gated channels in sarcolemma
Term
direct attachments
Definition
very little separation b/w muscle and bone before attachment
Term
tropomyosin
Definition
blocks the active site of myosin in relaxed muscles
Term
K+ accumulation
Definition
too much ECF, so fiber becomes less excitable
Term
short term energy
Definition
muscles transition to anaerobic fermentation to "buy time" until cardiopulmonary function can catch up with muscles' oxygen demand
Term
myoglobin
Definition
An oxygen-storing, pigmented protein in muscle cells.
Term
synapse
Definition
the junction between the axon tip of the sending neuron and the dendrite or cell body of the receiving neuron
Term
myosin
Definition
thick filaments
Term
temperature
Definition
cold contracts smooth muscle, warm relaxes
Term
Autorythmicity
Definition
Cardiac muscle cells ability to contract on its own
Term
excitation
Definition
muscle contraction
Term
myofibrils
Definition
protein cords
Term
M line
Definition
thick filaments linked by dark transverse protein complex at middle of H band
Term
parallel muscles
Definition
uniform width and parallel fascicles
Term
circular muscles
Definition
form rings around certain body openings constrict opening when they contract
Term
myogram
Definition
record of muscle contraction (chart)
Term
muscle size
Definition
thicker muscle forms more myosin-actin bridges more force
Term
multiple motor unit summation
Definition
the relationship between increased stimulus strength and an increased number of contracting motor units
Term
stretch
Definition
stomach and bladder contract in response to stretch
Term
MMU summation
Definition
more muscle fibers at work mean more strength
Term
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
Definition
Oxygen difference b/w need and end of exercise and resting O2 consumption
Term
Conductivity
Definition
local electrical change triggers a wave of excitation that travels along the muscle fiber
Term
extensibility
Definition
ability to stretch
Term
endomysium
Definition
Connective tissue surrounding a muscle fiber
Term
action
Definition
effect produced by a muscle to produce or prevent movement
Term
sarcolemma
Definition
plasma membrane of muscle fiber
Term
isometric contraction
Definition
"same length" contraction; change in tone w/o change in length as when maintaining joint position or holding heavy weight
Term
length-tension relationship
Definition
optimal length of a muscle results in optimal force production
Term
central fatigue
Definition
muscle generates ammonia and in brain this inhibits motor neurons, so less output sent to the muscles
Term
Light I band
Definition
light band where thick filaments don't reach in relaxed muscle
Term
slow twitch fibers (type I)
Definition
adapted for endurance and fatigue resistance
Term
elastic filaments
Definition
composed of titin
Term
aerobic respiration
Definition
produce lots of ATP, require oxygen
Term
epimysium
Definition
fibrous CT sheath covering whole muscle, continuous w/ tendon
Term
immediate energy
Definition
myoglobin provides O2 for aerobic respiration for short time, ADP+Pi can be borrowed to generate ATP
Term
temporal summation
Definition
greater frequency of stimulation increases contraction and strength
Term
eccentric contraction
Definition
muscle lengthens as it maintains tension (ex): contraction of biceps brachii against action of triceps brachii during elbow extension
Term
fibrous actin
Definition
string of globular actin
Term
red fibers
Definition
lots of myoglobin gives red color requires lots of oxygen
Term
plasticity
Definition
smooth muscle adjusts tension to degree of stretch, so organ can shrink back down when no longer stretched.
Term
insertion
Definition
attachment to movable bone
Term
automatic nerve fibers and NTs
Definition
can inhibit or excite parasympathetic nervous system stimulates w/ ACh. Sympathetic nervous system stimulates norepinephrine
Term
Z disc
Definition
dark line, anchors thin and elastic filaments
Term
electrolyte loss
Definition
loss of electrolytes through sweat alters ion balance of ECF and reduces excitability
Term
defects
Definition
muscular dystrophy
Term
multipennate
Definition
multiple bipennate tendons coverage to form one tendon ex: deltoid
Term
neuromuscular junction
Definition
point of contact between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle cell
Term
long term energy

aerobic respiration
Term
small motor units
Definition
small sensitive neurons for fine motor control few muscle fibers (3-6 muscle fibers per neuron)
Term
sarcoplasmic reticulum
Definition
smooth ER of muscle fiber packed b/w myofibrils
Term
elasticity
Definition
ability to recoil to resting length
Term
isotonic contraction
Definition
same tension, changing length

contractility

muscle cells can shorten
Term
smooth muscle
Definition
short, fulsiform, non-striated, involuntary capable of hyperclacia and hypertrophy
Term
multi-unit smooth muscle
Definition
a type of smooth muscle found in the iris of the eye and in the walls of blood vessels
Term
ADP/Pi accumulation
Definition
ADP slows cross-bridge cycling; Pi slows Ca2+ release from SR, reduces sensitivity to Ca2+ by contractile mechanism and decreased force from myofibrils
Term
skeletal muscle
Definition
long, fibrous, striated, voluntary
Term
size of motor units
Definition
larger MUs produce more force
Term
concentric contraction
Definition
muscle shortens as it maintains tension (ex) contraction of biceps brachii to flex elbow
Term
cardiac muscle
Definition
found only in heart, involuntary
Term
Dark A band
Definition
thick filaments side by side with especially dark area due to hexagonal arrangement of thin filaments around each thick filament
Term
resistance exercise
Definition
contraction of muscles against a load that resists movement
Term
contraction phase
Definition
external tension begins to shorten muscle and do work
Term
thin filaments
Definition
composed of actin
Term
perimysium

fibrous connective tissue that surrounds groups of muscle fibers called fascicles
Term
anaerobic respiration
Definition
produces little ATP, but does not require oxygen
