Release of crossbridges, returning Ca+2 back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

Treppe

Warming Up effect of muscle tempurature that increases the effectiveness of muscles example of this is bringing the tempurature of the muscle to an optiomal tempurature for ATPase

Length-tension relaitonship

At rest, a muscle can generate the most tension, where as when contracted or stretched there is less tension due to the reduced number of overlap for cross bridge formation

Muscle Fatigue

Cause: insufficent free Ca+2 at teh NMJ to enter the synaptic knowb, or decreased synaptic vessicles to release neurotransmitter. Can also be attributed to a change in ion concentration which interferes with contraction. Can be attributed to phosphate increased concentration.

Hypertrophy

Increased muscle size due to increased numbers of mitochondria, larger glycogen reserves which results in an increase to produce ATP

Hyperplasia

increased number of muscle fibers


\
