1
New cards
contraction
thick filaments (myosins) and thin filaments (actin) SLIDE
2
New cards
calcium
helps in regulation of proteins on thin filaments - > causes them to move out of the way

the sarcomere shortens " sliding" of thick and thin filaments and results in contraction
3
New cards
mechanics of muscle contraction
in smooth and cardiac form, there are contractile proteins
\-myosin
\-actin

in skeletal muscle, the myosin is arranged thick filaments and actin is arranged in thin filaments
4
New cards
sarcomere
primary unit of contraction
\-thousands inside of muscle cells
5
New cards
how does sarcomere shorten in length -> contracts and slides?
\-requires ATP which drives the head bending "power stroke"
\-ATP also allows the head to let go of actin (thin filament)
\-in relaxed muscles, regulatins protein tropomyosin sits on the actin thin filaments and BLOCKS
\-requires ATP which drives the head bending "power stroke"
\-ATP also allows the head to let go of actin (thin filament)
\-in relaxed muscles, regulatins protein tropomyosin sits on the actin thin filaments and BLOCKS
6
New cards
what happens when we activate a muscle?

1. calcium enters muscle cell
2. causes the tropomyosin to move out of the way
3. thick filament and the thin filaments will form crossbridge (heads bind)
4. contraction
7
New cards
exciting muscle cells results in....
a rise in calcium levels= muscle contraction
8
New cards
e

xciting muscles requires...
input from a neuron (efferent pathway)


1. AP travels down the alpha- motor neuron
2. AP causes neurotransmitter (acetylcholine) to be released in synapse
3. ACH binds its receptor on muscle and activates the receptor and sodium ions enter the cell
4. causes an AP in muscle
9
New cards
what happens when AP spreads through a muscle?
Calcium enter the cytoplasm of the muscle from the outside and an organelle sarcoplasmic reticulum
10
New cards
how do you stop contraction?

1. remove calcium from the cytoplasm
2. stop having AP in the muscle cell
3. stop signaling between the neuron and the muscle
11
New cards
muscle twitch
most basic simple contraction and it can't do much as it is a fast rise to tension and fast relaxation

contracts when tension accumulates and peaks and then relaxes in a matter of milliseconds

summation of twitches allows us to generate strong force and long lasting contraction
12
New cards
why study twitches?
\-a slow twitch generally has more endurance and has metabollic pathways that generate alot of aTP- > consumes oxygen in a type 1 muscle

\-a fast twitch generally generates force very quickly.
\--fatigue resistant - > type 2A muscles
\--fatiuable_ > type2B
13
New cards

(important for moving light loads and control)
15
New cards

16
New cards
recruitment of motor units
progressively activates more and more motor units which generates more force
17
New cards

\
**think of a syringe**
75
New cards
what happens during inspiration?
contraction of respiratory muscles (diaphragm and external intercostal muscles)
76
New cards
what happens during expiration?

77
New cards
what happens during forced expiration?
forced expiration
\-abdominal muscles and internal intercostal muscles (rib muscles) strongly decrease the thoracic volume and lung volume -> increases pressure in lungs
78

79
New cards
What happens to inspired gas?
\-move through the conductive pathways ( nose and mouth -> trachea -> bronchi - > bronchioles)

80
New cards
what happens when air hits the respiratory/ exchange surfaces of the lung?
it allows for gases to move between the blood and the lung (alveolus)
81
New cards
what do alveoli do?
type 1: cells are thin because it allows for gas exchange

type 2: secrete pulmonary surfactant which make it easier to breathe
