Functions of the Nervous System

-Controls the Internal Environment -Controls voluntary movements -Stores memories -Establishes patterns of response based on experience -Contains motor units and neurons

CNS vs PNS

CNS= Brain and spinal cord


PNS= Anything outside CNS(Sensory)



-Sensory information from the brain telling the PNS for motor output

Parts of the Neuron

Dendrites-Touch receptors


Axon-Carries Information


Synapse-Connection Transfer

Impulse Transmission vs Synaptic Transmission

Synaptic - diffuse across synaptic cleft


Impulse- responds to nerve impulses

EPSP vs IPSP

-protective mechanism to maintain homeostasis until threshold (Control Mechanism)


EPSP- closer the threshold


IPSP- less likely threshold is reached

Temporal Summation vs Spatial Summation

Temporal- Impulses in a concentrated area



Spatial- Impulses in a spatial area

Depolarization vs Repolarization

-sodium channel opens, some sodium diffuses in


-returning to resting potential

Threshold and (Resting Potential,Graded Potential,Action Potential)

-membrane potential level


-potential differences between the region inside the membrane to outside


-threshold is reached

Sodium Potassium Pump

-movement of sodium and potassium across a cellular membrane

What do each joint proprioreceptors provide ?

Free Nerve Endings (Touch and Pressure)


Golgi types receptors (Pressure on joints)


Pacnian Corpuscles ( Rate your joint rotation )

How do each Muscle Proprioceptors help us move ?

Golgi Tendon Organs ( Nerves in tendon)


Muscle Spindles (Fibers that wrap around a muscle cell )

Vestibular Apparatus

-Balance


Located in the inner ear


Linear and angular acceleration


Primary function is to maintain equilibrium

How do Motor Unit size impact the movements we make

Large-Power



Small-Reflexes(Eye Twitch)

Movement Control of : Brain Stem


Cerebrum/ cerebral cortex


Cerebellum


Spinal Cord

- responsible for basic vital life functions such as breathing, heartbeat, and blood pressure.


- associated with higher brain function such as thought and action.


-structure is associated with regulation and coordination of movement, posture, and balance.


-

How does exercise positively influence brain function ?

-Enhances learning and memory


-Stimulate Neurogenesus


- Improves brains vascular function and blood flow


- Levels off mechanisms involved in depression

3 types of tissues

-Skeletal


Cardiac


Smooth

Function of Muscles

-Producing body movements


Stabilizing body positions


Regulating organ volumes


Movement of substances within the body


Producing heat

Properties of muscles

-Excitability


Conductivity


Contractile


Extensibility


Elasticity

Connective tissues in muscles

a. Endomysiumb. Perimysiumc. Epimysium

Parts of the muscle



Parts of the muscle fiber – myofibril and sarcoplasm

Myofibrils- thick and thin filaments (thick is actin and thin is myosin




Sarcoplasm-

Parts within the sarcoplasm – transverse tubules and sarcoplasmic reticulum

Transverse tubules- branch extensively inside the sarcoplasm which allows each sarcomere to be encircles by two T tubules




Sarcoplasmic Reticulum-loose network of flattened tubules resembles the smooth endoplasmic reticulum

Sarcomeres and parts of striations
•TheA band:

•TheI band region:


•Sarcomeres = Zline to Z line

Actin and myosin
•Thick filaments are composed of myosin •Heldin place by the M line proteins



-Actin has troponing and Troppmyons (Connecting signals)





I band, A band, H zone, m line, z line, titin

Troponin, tropomyosin

-Troponin and tropomyosin regulate contraction via calcium binding




Troponin is shown in red (subunits not distinguished). Upon binding calcium, troponin moves tropomyosin away from the myosin-binding sites on actin (bottom), effectively unblocking it.

Sliding filament theory and how a contraction begins
•Nerveimpulse reaches an axon terminal•AChdiffuses to receptors on the sarcolemma •Amuscle action potential spreads





What happens during relaxation?
•Acetylcholinesterase(AChE)breaks down AChwithin the synaptic cleft••Muscleaction potential ceases••Ca+2release channels close



•Activetransport pumps Ca2+ •Calcium-bindingprotein helps hold Ca+2 in SR•Tropomyosin-troponincomplex recovers•





Contraction Cycle

Contraction cycle- •Repeating sequence of events •4 steps to contraction cycle • Cycle keeps repeating as long as there is ATP available & high Ca+2 level near thin filament
Motor unit recruitment
•Total strength of a contraction



Motor units in a whole muscle fire asynchronously


Produces smooth muscular contraction


Precise movements require smaller contractions


Large motor units are active when large tension is needed

Types of contractions

Isotononic Contraction= (Same Tension) a load is moved




Isometric Contraction= (Same measure) no movement occurs

Types of muscle fibers and the activities they are suited for
•Slowoxidative (slow-twitch)

•Fastoxidative-glycolytic (fast-twitch A)


•Fastglycolytic (fast-twitch B)



Exercise and muscle development

Atrophy-

hypertrophy-


overload-


strain -

Abnormal Contractions

Spasm-

Cramp-


Tic-


Tremor-


fasciculation-

How does aerobic exercise change the muscle?
•Increasesnumber of capillaries •Increasesnumber of mitochondria

•Increasesability to synthesize myoglobin

How does anaerobic exercise change the muscle?
•Increasesmuscle size

•Increasesmuscle strength


•Increasesmuscle power
