Functions of Skeletal Muscle
Maintain posture, Generate Heat,Movement, Guarding, Support Soft Tissue, Monitors what enters and exits, and Communication.

How is the command to contract sign distributed throughout a muscle fiber?
Distributed by the sacromere.

Bundle of mysoin.
Thin Filament
F actin (fibrous).
A bands
Area that's "dArk" in sacromere.
H-zones
Middle of A Band. (Myosin only in center of A Band.)
Z lines
Ends of sacromere. Actin connected to Z-line, not myosin.
I-Bands
"lIght" area, Actin only.
Zones of Overlap
Actin, Myosin, Actin, Myosin...they overlap.
M-lines
Down middle of H zone. (holds myosin together)
Chemical composition of a Thin filaments?
G actin, Troponin, Tropomyosin.
What is a triad's function?
Storage or calicium
Where are vesicles of ACh (acetylcholine) stored?
Synaptic knobs
Role of troponin
Marks active site; where calcium binds.
Role of tropomyosin
Where troponin is attached, holds G actin together.
Role of an active site
Found on G actin.
Role of a cross-bridge
Myosin attaches to trypomyosin.
Where are the ACh-receptors found?
Motor end plate.
Motor end plates
Found on sacrolemma; increases surface area.
Synaptic knobs
End of neuron.
Synaptic clefts
Space between knob and motor end plate.
Neuromusclar junctions
Everything is in it. Motor end plates, synaptic knobs, synaptic cleft...
ACh-esterase is found where, and what role does it have in muscle contraction?
Synaptic cleft, and remove the essino coden.
Role of ATP-ase during contraction of muscle.
Myosin Head.
Important factor in Decreasing Intracellular Calcium concentrations after a muscle contraction.
A calcium active pump; Active transport. Involves ATP.
During which phrase of contraction is Calcium released?
Latent period.
What is the difference between an isometric, and isotonic contraction?
Resistance greater than tension. Resistnace lesser than tension.
How does resting muscle generate most of its ATP?
Buring fats.
What are the end products of Anaerobic Metabolism?
Pyruvic Acid and Lactic Acid; couple of ATP's; 2 per glucose.
What happens during the recovery period following exercise?
Oxygen debt+ATP debt (you owe yourself).
Describe the Cori Cycle?
Takes Lactic acid from muscle. Converts to 30%(ATP) 70%(Glucose)->back to muscle. takes place in the liver.
Consequences of againg in skeletal muscle.
Decreased muscle tone, Decreased repair time, Increased collagen (fibrous),Decreased blood supply.
Characteristic(s) of smooth muscle allow it to function over a wide range of lengths?
Plasticity takes Smooth Muscle, and stretch it 4 times and it will still work.
What is a cramp?
Involuntary contraction of muscle.
Atrophy
Loss of muscle mass
Hypertrophy
Gain muscle mass.
Fibrosis
Increases in fibers, collagen.
How do cramps occur?
Irritation of motor neuron; Irration at motor end plate; Imbalance of electrolytes; Whole neural muscular junction is damaged; Trauma, chemical poisoning, overuse...etc.
What is the role of thyroid hormone on skeletal muscle?
Increased metabolism.
Antagonist
Muscle that's opposite of prime mover at joint.
Agonist/Prime mover
Muscle primarily responsible for a given joint action.
Synergist
Same thing as prime mover, but smaller.
Levator
Lifts things.
Fixator
Holds origin in place.

Extend foramen.
Function of a muscle that inserts on the mandible.
Chewing or biting.
Function of a muscle that inserts on the hyoid bone.
Tongue.
Parellel
Fasicles parellel with one another.
Unipennate

Circular
Circular/Circle.
Fast twitch muscle
(Chicken breast/Lighter meat)Power=Isometric. Anaerobic, Decreased myoglobin, Decreased mitochondria, Increased Glucose, Decreased blood supply.
Slow twitch muscle

Insertion
Moving bone.
Steps that occur in skeletal muscle contraction.
(Step 1a.) Resting sarcomere, (Step 1b.) Calcium hits tropomyosin (active site exposure), (Step 2) Cross bridge attachment, (Step 3) Pivoting of myosin head, (Step 4) Cross bridge attachment [you get energy<atp and adp+pi], (Step 5) Myosin reactivation, (ATP-ase) When you break it apart you get energy.
