Term
What surronds each muscle fiber?
Definition
Endomysium
Term
What is the role of the T-tubuals?
Definition
to form channels that allow electrical signals that stimulate muscle contraction.
Term
What is the functional contractile unit of a myofibril?
Definition
Sarcomere
Term
What are the two contractile proteins?
Definition
Actin and Myosin
Term
Name and explain the 5 types of muscle contractions.
Definition
1. Concentric
2. Eccentric
3. Isometric
4. Isotonic
5. Isokinetic
Term
What type of contraction would pushing weight off your chest be?
Definition
Eccentric
Term
What type of contraction would lowering weight to your chest be?
Definition
Concentric
Term
What type of contraction would holding weight steady be?
Definition
Isometric
Term
Define Isokinetic.
Definition
constant angular velocity about a joint
Term
Define Isotonic.
Definition
tension remains unchanged, muscle length changes. Builds strength through Range of Motion
Term
List 5 muscle arrangements and give examples.
Definition
1. Fusiform
2. Unipennate
3. Bipennate
4. Multipennate
5. Triangular
Term
Explain the Force Velocity Relationship for a short sarcomere.
Definition
an overlap between actin and myosin
Term
Explain the Force Velocity Relationship for a lengthened sarcomere
Definition
when the sarcomere lengthens beyond optimal force potential it promotes recoil.
Term
Explain the Force Velocity Relationship for a over-stretched sarcomere.
Definition
If no actin and myosin overlap there is zero force production.
Term
Explain the force velocity relationship.
Definition
Force production capability depends on contraction velocity/speed. The faster a muscle contracts concentrically the less force a muscle can produce. As the muscle shortens with increasing velocity force decreases due to lower number of myosin heads binding to actin.
Muscle contraction velocity is inversely proportional to load. Large force can not be exerted in very rapid movements.
Term
Explain Force Velocity Relationship in reference to a fast contracting muscle.
Definition
greater velocity is reached under low load.
Term
Explain Force Velocity Relationship in reference to a Eccentric action.
Definition
Muscle can handle greater load during eccentric action than during isometric or concentric action. During the eccentric contraction in the most flexed elbow position the decent of weight can be controlled.
Term
What is the Stretch-Shorten Cycle?
Definition
an eccentric action immediately followed by a concentric action. Normal concentric force production is enhanced.
Term
List the 3 phases of the Stretch-Shorten cycle.
Definition
1. Eccentric Phase
2. Coupling Phase
3. Concentric Phase
Term
What is Muscle Hypertrophy?
Definition
an increase in muscle size and number of myofibril.
Term
What are Musculotendinous injuries called?
Definition
Strains
Term
What is tissue swelling during and after exercise known as?
Definition
Edema
Term
What does DOMS stand for?
Definition
Delayed Onset of Muscle Soreness
Term
How long after exercise does DOMS occur?
Definition
24-48 hours.
Term
What type of training speeds up the muscle repair process?
Definition
Lighter training
Term
What makes up the Motor Unit?
Definition
The motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates.
Term
What two factors determine range of motion?
Definition
1. Structural congruity
2. The tissue that surrounds and supports the joint.
Term
What is Articulation?
Definition
the point where bones untie to form joints.
Term
What is an articulating surface?
Definition
the surface of the bone that comes together where two bones unite.
Term
What is the study of joints?
Definition
Anthrology
Term
What is the name for a socket?
Definition
Acetabulum
Term
What is the function of a Bursae sac?
Definition
reduces friction. it is filled with synovial fluid and serves as the space between tendons and ligaments.
Term
What is a Menisci?
Definition
pads between the bone and joint that cushions. they are C shaped or ring shaped.
Term
What causes water on the knee?
Definition
An overproduction of Synovial fluid.
Term
What is a condyloid joint?
Definition
an unstable joint formed by a shallow convex surface of a bone with the concave surface of another bone.
Term

Definition
Intertarsal Joints
Term
What is an example of a Hinge Joint?
Definition
Ankle or Elbow Joint
Term
What is an example of a Pivot joint?
Definition
between the atlas and axis (rotates side to side)
Term
What is an example of a condyloid joint?
Definition
wrist joints
Term
What is an example of a saddle joint?

Term
Explain the Eccentric phase of the Stretch-shorten cycle.
Definition
1. Eccentric Phase - normal concentric force production is increased. energy is stored in connective tissue sheaths.
Term
Explain the Coupling Phase of the Stretch-Shorten Cycle.
Definition
transition. should be short so you don't loose energy.
Term
Explain the Concentric Phase of the Stretch-Shorten Cycle.
Definition
energy stored is used to enhance force production. If not used, energy is lost through heat.
Term

Definition
by increasing metabolism, supplying nutrients and removing waste products from sore muscle.
