What is the normal end product of anaerobic exercise in muscle?
Contraction of both skeletal and smooth muscle is triggered by an increase in cytosolic Ca2+. Compare the mechanisms by which each type of muscle converts a rise in Ca2+ concentration into contraction.
Describe the two mechanisms by which muscle glycogen is broken down to glucose (glycogenolysis) for use in glycolysis. Which one is activated at the same time as muscle contraction?

His wife poured him a sports drink and urged him to take it easy until he could “catch his breath.” On the basis of what you have learned about muscle energy metabolism, respond to the following questions: Why is Eric breathing heavily? Which ATP-generating pathway have his working muscles been using that makes him breathless? What metabolic products might account for his sore muscles and muscle weakness?arrow_forwardImpairment of intracellular calcium homeostasis in muscle fibers lead to chronic, severe muscle dysfunction. Impaired Calcium ATPase activity can lead to abnormal, persistent elevation of intracellular calcium concentrations. Explain how persistently high intracellular calcium concentration would affect cross-bridge formation, and muscle contractions, and muscle tension? (Mention the effects on the steps involved cross bridge formation, and muscle contraction/relaxation cycle, and overall muscle tension).arrow_forward
