Macro Muscles Let’s Start with a Video… Motor Unit Smaller # fibers – more precise movement Larger # fibers – more powerful contraction SR releasing Ca+2 Ca+2 bind to troponin; Cross-bridging TWITCH •Quick jerk (1/10th sec) due to brief threshold stimulus CONTRACTIONS •Muscle contracts more forcefully after it has contracted a few times •Warm-up before exercise UNFUSED TETANUS •Very short periods of relaxation between peaks of tension FUSED TETANUS •Smooth, sustained contractions Length-tension Relationship Optimal length Strongest max contraction possible Overstretched Sarcomere compressed Muscle can’t develop tension Muscle can’t develop tension due to filaments too far apart ATP Sources- Energy for muscles • Aerobic Respiration – Requires O2 – Produces max amount of energy available from each glucose molecule • Anaerobic Respiration – Occurs when lack of O2 – Forms lactic acid • During exercise • Muscles “burn” – O2 debt • Heavy breathing during exercise in order to process lactic acid Muscle Fatigue • Muscles loses ability to contract due to lack of ATP • Lactic acid build up Myopathies • Myalgia - muscle pain due to overstretching/tearing of muscle fibers • Strain – caused by overexertion/trauma and can lead to muscle tear • Myositis - any muscle inflammation • Fibromyositis - tendon inflammation along with myositis • Cramps – Painful muscle spasms • Last few seconds to few hours • Caused by injury or overuse – Dehydration – Low K+ or Ca+2 Myopathies • Contusion – Muscle bruise, local internal bleeding and inflammation • Poilio – Viral infection of nerves controlling skeletal movement – Causes partial or full paralysis and death – Vaccine created in US in 1950s, but not everywhere • Muscular Dystrophy – Genetic disease caused by muscle atrophy – Some forms are fatal • Hernias Myopathies – “protrusion” – Reducible – can manipulate protruding organ back into abdominal cavity – Strangulated – blood flow to organ is stopped; obstruction, gangrene, pain. Vomiting, emergency surgery – Types • Inguinal – hernia extends into inguinal canal into scrotum or labia; affects more males • Femoral – affects more women below groin area due to pregnancy
