Two Phases of Muscle Activity
|
|
Scar tissue replaces cells, normal function is not restored.
|

|
|
Extend elbow and forearm.
|

|
|
Flexes hip joint & thigh.
|
Ilopsoas Group
|
|
Made by cells, gives a few seconds of energy then muscle acquires ATP by Creatine Phosphate.
|
ATP
|
|
Created during a burst of strenuous excercise when circulatory system cannot deliver sufficient oxygen to keep up with demand. Rapid breathing restores oxygen level.
|
Oxygen Debt
|
|
Contractile unit joined end to end at Z line inside of myofibris. Hundreds of repeating units are joined end to end along the length of each muscle cell.
|
Sarcomere
|
|
Both neurons and muscle are excitable due to charge in ions. Na-K pump maintains this concentration difference.
|
Membrane Potential
|
|
Not attached to bone, forms tubes in body walls or layers in organs and contract in response to stretching, chemicals, or hormones.
|

|
|
Muscles shift to anaerobic respiration until cardiopulmonary system catches up. 30-40 seconds of activity - accumulate lactic acid - cramps occur.
|
Glycogen-Lactic Acid System
|
|
