|
excitability
|
|
The spreading wave of electrical stimulation that spreads along the muscle cell membrane is known as:
|
the action potential;
because it calls the muscle cell into action |
|
What are 4 important properties of muscle tissue?
|
excitability,
contractility, extensibility, elasticity |
|
A muscle fiber's capacity to undergo shortening and to change its shape, becoming thicker, is called:
|
contractility
|
|
What are the 2 proteins in muscle filaments that give muscle the striated appearance?
|
actin (thin & light),
myosin (thick & dark), they alternate to give that striated appearance |
|
A contracting subunit of skeletal muscle is known as:
|
a sarcomere
|
|
When a muscle is at rest, 2 additional proteins block the sites on actin filaments where cross-bridges can form. What are these 2 proteins?
|
troponin,
tropomyosin |
|
What substance is necessary for the cross-bridges to form so that the muscle can contract?
|
calcium
|
|
Where is calcium stored?
|
in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) & is released when the nerve stimulates the muscle
|
|
ATP
|
adenosine triphosphate
|
|
What role does ATP play in muscle contraction?
|
it provides the energy for the metabolic activities required within the cell --moves the myosin heads back into position for another 'powerstroke'
|
|
What mineral is needed to allow myosin and actin to interact?
|
calcium
|
|
What chemical supplies the energy required for all muscle contractions?
|
ATP, adenosine triphosphate
|
|
What compounds are stored in muscles that supply oxygen, energy, or nutrition for the muscle cells?
|
myoglobin,
glycogen, creatine phosphate |
|
What compound stores additional oxygen and is similar to the blood's hemoglobin but is located specifically in muscle cells?
|
myoglobin
|
|
What compound stores additional glucose for muscle cells?
|
glycogen
|
|
What compound is similar to ATP, in that it has a high energy bond that releases energy when it is broken, & is used to make ATP when the muscle cell has used up its ATP?
|
creatine phosphate
|
|
When muscles work without oxygen, a compound is produced that causes muscles to fatigue. What is the name of this compound?
|
lactic acid
|
|
What are the 3 components of exercise?
