Muscular Physiology
Explain how skeletal muscles provide movement,
  heat, and posture. Are all of these functions
              unique to muscles?

Movement: Skeletal muscle contractions produce movements of
the body as a whole (locomotion) or it its parts.
Heat production: Muscle cells produce heat by the process known
as catabolism. Skeletal muscle contractions constitute one of the
most important parts of the mechanism for maintaining
homeostasis of temperature.
Posture: The continued partial contraction of many skeletal
muscles makes possible standing, sitting and maintaining a
relatively stable position of the body while walking, running or
performing other movements.
Contrability: is the ability to contract or shorten that allows
muscle tissue to pull on bones and produce body movement.
Extensibility is the ability to extend or stretch that allows muscles
to return to their resting length after having contracted.
The characteristics of excitability is shared by
  what other system? Relate contractility and
   Extensibility to the concept of agonist and
                    antagonist.




 Excitability is the ability to be stimulated
and it’s also known as irritability. Because
 skeletal muscle cells are excitable, they
  can respond to regulate mechanisms
           such as nerve signals.
What structures are unique to skeletal muscle
fibers? Which of the structures involved primarily
   in contractility and which are in invloved in
                    excitability?


Myofibrils are bundles of very fine fibers that extend
lengthwise along skeletal muscle fibers and almost
fill their sarcoplasm. Sarcomere is a segment of the
myofibril between 2 successive Z lines. Transverse
tubules (T tubules) extend transversely across the
sarcoplasm, at a right angle to the long axis of the
cell. The SR is a system of membranous tubules in a
muscle fiber. The impulse, a temporary electrical
imbalance, is conducted over the muscle fiber’s
sarcolemma and inward along the T tubules.
Explain how the structure of the
       myofilaments is related to their
                  function.
   Lying side by side in each myofibril are thousands of thick and thin
   myofilaments. Myofilament is the term for the chains of (primarily)
  actin and myosin that pack a muscle fiber. Myosin is responsible for
force generation. It is composed of a globular head with both ATP and
   actin binding sites, and a long tail involved in its polymerization into
      myosin filaments. Actin is the other major component in force
production. Actin, when polymerized into filaments, forms the "ladder"
along which the myosin filaments "climb" to generate motion. Troponin
 is the major regulator of force production. Its three subunits lie in the
  groove of each actin filament blocking the myosin binding site, in the
  absence of ionic calcium. Titin is an enormous (2500 kD) peptide that
    appears to be involve in maintaining the neatly ordered striation
   pattern. Closely associated with the myosin molecule, it appears to
  anchor the myosin network to the actin network. Nebulin is another
actin associated molecule; Nebulin appears to act as a molecular ruler
                 regulating the length of actin filaments.
Explain how the sliding filament theory
 allows for the shortening of a muscle
                  fiber.

The sliding filament theory states that muscle fibers
  get shorter when the actin filaments slide in on the
      myosin filaments which pull the z-lines closer
 together at the same time. When the actin filaments
   slide inward toward the myosin filaments, the H-
  zone and I- Band decrease. In a cross bridge each
      flexion creates a small movement in the actin
filament. In order for a good amount of movement to
  occur many cross bridges throughout the muscle
            have to flex repeatedly and quickly.
Compare and contrast the role of Ca++
    in excitation, contraction, and
      relaxation of a muscle cell.
     The latent of excitation period is when Ca++ is
released, which activates the contractile machinery,
  and this stretches the series elasticity. During the
  contraction period, once the tension matches the
   load, the contraction causes a shortening of the
entire muscle. When the relaxation phase occurs the
       CA++ subsides it is pumped back into the
 sarcoplasmic reticulum. CA++ leaves the troponin so
that actin and myosin cannot interact. The filaments
   then slide passively back to their originality. In all
    three stages CA++ is being used by either being
              released or coming back in.
People who exercise seriously are sometimes told to work a
muscle until they "feel the burn". In terms of how muscle is
  able to release energy, explain what is going on in the
   muscle early in the exercise and when the muscle is
                         "burning?”

 During a workout your muscles begin to
feel tired. As you keep going your muscles
 will feel as if they are burning. There are
  two steps that create this. When your
body begins to produce lactic you will feel
  the burn. This is a source for fuel in the
muscles. When the muscles begin fatigued
 this is because calcium is running out to
        keep the muscles contracting.
Describe the anatomical arrangement
of a motor unit. Contrast fine and gross
             motor units.
A single motor unit and the muscle fibers
connected to it act as a unit. This called a
motor unit. The number of muscle fibers in
  each motor unit is different in various
 parts of the body. Fine motor units are
   involved in finely graded and skilled
motions such as moving a finger or a toe.
  These units contain a small number of
muscle cells. Movements with gross units
 are involved in bigger contractions and
         have many muscle cells
Using fiber types, design a muscle for a marathon
 runner. and a different muscle for a 100-yard-
                   dash Sprinter.




 A marathon runner should have a slick
     twitch muscle so their muscles can
 receive more oxygen even though they
will react slower. A sprinter should have a
  fast twitch muscle so their muscle can
          react fast and move fast.
Explain the meaning of a "unit of combined cells"
   as it relates to cardiac Muscle. How does the
   structure arrangement affect its function?




A unit of combined cells is . Each unit cell is
  defined in terms of lattice points which
   the points in space about which the
 particles are free to vibrate in a crystal.
Describe Rigor Mortis.
Rigor mortis refers to the state of a body
after death, in which the muscles become
stiff. It commences after around 3 hours,
   reaching maximum stiffness after 12
  hours, and gradually dissipates until
approximately 72 hours after death. Rigor
   mortis occurs due to changes in the
   physiology of muscles when aerobic
             respiration ceases.
Describe in detail the 4 factors that
  influence the strength of muscle
            contractions.



1. The number of muscle fibers stimulated
      2. The relative size of the fibers
         3. Frequency of stimulation
     4. The degree of muscle strength
What are the phases of a twitch contraction?
  What molecular events occur during each of
                these phases?

Latent: The muscle begins to contract
(shorten) there are is no activity but
there is some electrical and chemical
changes taking place.
Contraction: The muscle fibers shorten
and this is when trace activity takes
place.
Relaxation: The trace activity is going
downward and the muscle is going back
into its original state and lengthening.
How does the treppe effect relate to the
    warm-up exercises of athletes?




 The treppe effect takes place when the
 muscles contract at a more rapid pace
  and it has. this relates to warming up
 because if athletes warm up there is no
way the treppe effect can take place and
  their work our will be easier on them.
