|
In one muscle fiber the tube things are
|
myofibrils
|
|
Each muscle fiber contains many
|
myofibrils
|
|
Each myofibril is composed of many
|
sarcomeres
|
|
Sarcoplasm
|
cytoplasm contains glycogen for stored energy and myoglobin for binding oxygen
|
|
When you gain muscle you are
|
adding more myofibrils to each muscle fiber
|
|
list level of organization starting with skeletal muscle
|
skeletal muscle- fascicle- muscle fiber- myofibrils- sarcomere- thick filaments (myosin) and thin filaments (actin, tropomyosin, troponin)
|
|
sarcomere
|
from one z disc to the next z disk
|
|
actin
|
touches the z disk
|
|
myosin
|
sits in the middle of the z discs held in place by titin
|
|
muscles contract by
|
the z discs getting closer together
|
|
titin
|
holds the myosin myofilament in place between the z discs
|
|
H zone
|
space between the ends of actin, in contraction the H zone disaperes
|
|
When your muscle contracts
|
the pieces of actin get closer together and the myosin gets closer to the z disc causin the sarcomere to be shorter in length
|
|
Each muscle fiber is innervated by
|
only ONE motor neuron
|
|
Skeletal muscles are innervated by
|
somatic motor neurons
|
|
Acetycholine
|
ACh neurotransmitter that is released from nerve fibers and causes stimulation of muscle cell
|
|
Schwann cell
|
envelopes and isolates NMJ
|
|
Synaptic cleft
|
tiny gap between the nerve and muscle cells
|
|

|
region where a muscle fiber makes a functional connection with its target cell (NMJ)
|
|
When you muscle is relaxed there is K+ _____ the cell and Na+ ______ the cell
|
K+ inside and Na+ outside
|
|
excitation
|
action potentials in the nerve lead to formation of action potentials in muscle fiber Nerve signal stimulates voltage-gated calcium channels that result in exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing ACh - ACh release
|
|

one nerve touches how many muscles? |
depends on which muscle |

what decides how many muscle fibers a nerve touches |
its about how controlled the movement has to be controlled movement like eye muscles, touches few muscle fibers larger muscles nerves touch more muscle fibers |

without oxygen creates lactic acid |
|
long term energy needs- eventually your body will return to |
aerobic respiration once your body catches up |
|
recovery period after exercize is when |
your body replenishes all of its stores of oxygen
replenishes the phosphate system removes lactic acid to glucose in kidneys and liver |
|

genetics- sprinter V marathoner |
|
Causes of muscle fatigue |
ATP synthesis declines as glycogen is consumed causes other processes to not work NMJ uses up Ach lactic acid inhibits enzyme function |
