Summary Introduction

To analyze: The fate of a muscle cell that has spent all its ATP and oxygen supply.

Introduction:

A muscle cell is capable of both aerobic respiration and fermentation depending on whether oxygen is present or absent. Muscle cell also controls their catabolism when there is excess or drop down of ATP by feedback mechanism and through the regulation of allosteric enzyme activity at specific points.

VISUAL SKILLS What will happen in a muscle cell thathas used up its supply of oxygen and ATP? (ReviewFigures 9.18 and 9.20.)
Vhat are the two types of muscle movement categories? Give an example for both. Describe Swammerdam's experiment and Galvani's experiment with frog legs. What did they tell us about muscle contraction? What is the sliding-filament model for muscle contraction? Describe the role of actin and myosin of sarcomeres in the model (be specific). Describe how an action potential triggers muscle contraction. Know the specific molecules involved. . Describe the structural and functional differences between smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscles. What are the three types of skeletal muscle fibers and how do they differ in structure and function? Next « Previous MacBook Pro
Muscle Physiology Some skeletal muscle fibers are “fast-twitch” fibers (white fibers), and others are “slow-twitch” (red) fibers. Would you expect an athlete proficient in running the 100-yard dash to have a greater proportion of red fibers or white fibers in muscles of the leg? Why?  Define the following: Maximal stimulus Threshold stimulus Submaximal stimulus A skeletal muscle can be stimulated, under laboratory conditions, with a supramaximal stimulus. Is it possible for the muscle to respond with a supramaximal contraction? Explain Define a motor unit. Of what physiological advantage is a small motor unit arrangement in skeletal muscle? Explain why a latent period is observed between the application of a stimulus and contraction of the stimulated muscle. Explain, giving two causative factors, why skeletal muscle displays fatigue. Does complete or incomplete tetanus occur physiologically? Explain. Define the following: Isometric contraction Isotonic contraction Optimum length…
