  • Front
  • Back
Central Nervous System
touch pain temperature and chemical stimuli
Nervous system functions
control internal enviroment
control movement
spinal cord reflexes
memory
Nervous system had 2 divisions
peripheral and central
peripheral
constist of neurons divided into sensory portion and motor portion
afferent fibers
nerve fibers which are sent to the CNS
Structure of a neuron
cell body dendrite axon
dendrite
carries signal toward
axon
send signal away
kinesthesia
conscious recongtion of the postion of body parts with respect to one another
Cerebum
large dome of the brain that is divided into right and left hemospheres
Cerebellum
lies behind pons and medulla coordinating monitoring complex
The human body is made up of
400 sketol muscles 40 to 50% total body weight
Sketal Muscles performs 3 functions
fore breathing and locomotion
force postural support
heat production during long stress
flexors
decrese joint angles
extensors
increase joint angle
epinysium
outermost layer surrounds entire muscle
perimysium
connective tissue surrounds muscle
endomysium
fasciulus surrounds by connective tissue
Myofibrils
threadlike structure that contains contractile protein
Myofibrils has two charaterstics
thick filaments composed of protein myosin has protein actin
Sarcomeres
structural proteins z line or Z disk
sarcoplasmic reticulum
storage site for calcium important in muscle contraction
transverse tubules
extends inward from the sarcolemma and passes completely through the fibers
neuromuscluar junction
the motor neuron and muscle meet
motor end plate
sarcolemma forms a packet
sliding filament model
process of musclar contraction is best explained
3 sources of ATP in muscle contraction
phosphacreatine glycolysis oxidative phosphorylation
Muscular fatigue
reduced ablity to generate fore
Central fatigue
subconscious brain reduce motor drive to contracting muscles during exercise
Biomechemical charaterstics of the muscle
oxidative capacity type of ATPase isoform
Contractile Properties Muscle Performance
Maximal force production
speed of contraction
muscle fiber efficiency
maximal force of muscle is compared
how much force the fiber produces per unit of fiber cross sectional area
Contraction speed of muscle fiber composed by
maximal shortening velocity
the efficienty of muscle fiber is measured
by muscle fiber economy
fast fibers
type IIx or IIa
slow fibers
type I
ATP myosin output is higher in
type IIx fibers
increase muscle size
hypertropy
increase do to strenght training
hyperplasia
muscle disuse results from
atrophy
distance runners have about
75 slow fibers 25 fast fibers
none athletes have about
50 slow fibers 50 fast fibers
2 adjustments must be made of blood flow during exercise
1.)increase cardiac output
2.)redistribution of blood flow from inactive organs to the active sketal muscles
arteries
blood away from heart
veins
blood to the heart
purpose of cardiovascular system
transport of oxygen
transport of nutrients to tissues
regulation of body temperature
myocardium
responsible for contracting and forcing blood out of the heart
systole
contraction phase
distole
relaxation phase
difference between systole and distole
pulse pressure
Average during cardiac cycle is
mean artiral pressure
SA node
pacemaker for the heart
Electrocardiogram(ECG)
electrical charges that occur in the mycardiagram during the cardiac cycle
Blood pressure increase from these factors
blood volume
heart rate
blood viscosity
stroke volume
periphal resistance
Cardiac Output
heart rate x stroke volume
2 factors that influence heart rate
Parasympathetic and sympathetic system
parasympathetic fiber
supply heart arise from neurons acts as breaking system slow down heart
Stroke volume regulated by 3 factors
EDV
average aortic blood pressure
strength ventricular contraction
Venous return increase during exercise due to
venoconstiction
muscle pump
respiratory pump
muscles have
mioglobin
cardiovascluar drift
is due to the influence of rising body temperature on dehydration and reduction of plasma volume
Exercise in heat does what?
decreases Stroke volume and increase heart rate
