Thermogenesis - Used to maintain body temperature. - Body shivers when you are cold. Production of body movement - Localized movements such as grasping a pencil, keyboarding, or raising your hand. - Total body movements such as walking and running. - Rely on the integrated functioning of skeletal muscles, bones, and joints. Stabilizing body positions - Postural muscles contract continuously when you are awake. - Help maintain body positions, such as standing or sitting. Storing and moving substance - Sustained contraction of a ring-like smooth muscle called sphincter. - Propelling food down the digestive tract.

When the length of a muscle increases during a contraction. - Eccentric Isotonic Contraction The tension generated is not enough to exceed the load, and the muscle does not change its length. - Isometric Contraction The tension generated is great enough to exceed the load and the muscle shortens, pulling on another structure (such as a tendon) to produce movement. - Concentric Isotonic Contraction

surrounds the entire skeletal muscle, separating the muscle from surrounding tissues and organs.

Connective tissue covering the entire muscle.

Tendon

Classify as true or false each of the sentences below.

Slow oxidative fibers are smallest in diameter and are the least powerful type of muscle fibers. - True Fast oxidative- glycolytic fibers are fast-twitch fibers adapted for intense movements of short duration like weight lifting or throwing a ball. - True Skeletal muscle fibers that have a high myoglobin content are termed red muscle fibers. - True Slow oxidative fibers generate ATP mainly by aerobic respiration. - True Fast glycolytic fibers have low myoglobin content, few blood capillaries, few mitochondria, and appear white in color. - True Fast oxidative-glycolytic fibers have a high intracellular glycogen level, which allows them to generate ATP by aerobic respiration. - True A fiber is categorized as slow or fast depending on how rapidly the ATPase in its myosin heads hydrolyze ATP. - True Fast glycolytic fibers are intermediate in diameter and have a high resistance to fatigue. - False

Creatine phosphate is a molecule that can store energy in its phosphate bonds. In a resting muscle, excess blank 1 transfers its energy to creatine, producing ADP and blank 2. This acts as an energy reserve that can be used to quickly create blank 3 (more/less) ATP. When the muscle starts to contract and needs energy, creatine phosphate transfers its phosphate back to ADP to form ATP and blank 4. The enzyme blank 5 catalyzes the transfer of one of the high-energy phosphate groups from ATP to creatine. Because the formation of ATP from creatine phosphate occurs blank 6, creatine phosphate is the blank 7 source of energy when muscle contraction begins. LO3

1. ATP 2. Creatine phosphate 3. More 4. Creatine 5. Creatine Kinase (CK) 6. Very Rapidly 7. First

If sufficient oxygen is present, the pyruvic acid formed by glycolysis enters the mitochondria, where it undergoes blank 1 respiration, a series of oxygen-requiring reactions that produce blank 2. Although aerobic respiration is blank 3 (slower/faster) than anaerobic glycolysis, it yields much blank 4 (less/more) ATP. Each molecule of glucose catabolized under aerobic conditions yields about 36 molecules of ATP. Muscle tissue has two sources of oxygen: (1) oxygen that diffuses into muscle fibers from the blank 5 and (2) oxygen released by blank 6 within muscle fibers. Both myoglobin (found only in blank 7) and hemoglobin (found only in blank 8) are oxygen-binding proteins. They bind oxygen when it is plentiful and release oxygen when it is scarce. LO3

1. Aerobic 2. ATP, carbon dioxide, water, and heat 3. Slower 4. More 5. Blood 6. Myoglobin 7. Muscle cells 8. Erythrocytes

When muscle activity continues and the supply of creatine phosphate within the muscle fiber is depleted, blank 1 is catabolized to generate blank 2 . Glucose passes from the blank 3 into contracting muscle fibers and it is also produced by the breakdown of blank 4 within muscle fibers. Then a series of reactions known as glycolysis quickly breaks down each glucose molecule into two molecules of blank 5. Glycolysis occurs in the cytosol and produces a net blank 6 (gain/loss) of two molecules of ATP. Because glycolysis does not require blank 7, it can occur whether oxygen is present (blank 8 conditions) or absent (blank 9 conditions). LO3

1. Glucose 2. ATP 3. Blood 4. Glycogen 5. Pyruvic acid 6. Gain 7. Oxygen 8. Aerobic 9. Anaerobic

Two types of contractile proteins are myosin and actin. The first contractile protein is made up of blank 1 filaments and the second is made up of blank 2 filaments, respectively. LO2

1. Thick 2. Thin

A blank 1 is the brief contraction of a group of muscle fibers within a muscle in response to a blank 2 action potential. The record of a muscle contraction is called a blank 3 . Twitches of skeletal muscle fibers last anywhere from blank 4 msec. The three sequential phases of a twitch are: blank 5 periods. LO4

1. Twitch 2. Single 3. Myogram 4. A few to 100 5. Latent, contraction, and relaxation

During heavy exercise not enough oxygen is available to skeletal muscle fibers hence the pyruvic acid generated from glycolysis is converted to blank 10. When produced at a rapid rate, this acid can accumulate in active skeletal muscle fibers and in the bloodstream. This acid buildup is thought to be responsible for muscle blank 11 that is felt during strenuous exercise. LO3

10. Lactic acid 11. Soreness

A muscle fiber develops its greatest tension when: There is an optimal zone of overlap between thick and thin filaments.

Label the figure by matching the terms below to their corresponding boxes. LO2

Box A - neuromuscular junction Box B - Somatic motor neuron Box C - Spinal cord Box D - skeletal muscle fibers

Match the definition of each twitch phase below.

Ca2+ is actively transported back into the SR, myosin-binding sites are covered by tropomyosin, myosin heads detach from actin, and tension in the muscle fiber decreases. - Relaxation Period Brief delay that occurs between application of the stimulus and the beginning of contraction. During this time, the events of excitation-contraction coupling occur. In addition, Ca2+ ions are released from the endoplasmic reticulum. - Latent Period Ca2+ binds to troponin, myosin-binding sites on actin are exposed, and myosin cross bridges form. Peak tension also develops in the muscle fiber. - Contraction Period

Myosin are known as thick filaments while tropomyosin as thin filaments - False The myosin tail of each myosin molecule points toward the Z line in the center of the sarcomere. - False A thin filament contains actin, troponin, and tropomyosin. - True In a relaxed muscle, myosin is blocked from binding to actin because the strands of troponin cover the myosin-binding sites on actin. - False Myosin functions as a motor protein in all three types of muscle tissue. - True Troponin is a protein that consists of three globular subunits—one that binds to tropomyosin, one that binds to myosin, and one that has binding sites for calcium ions (Ca2+). - False Each myosin head has two binding sites: (1) an actin-binding site and (2) an ATP-binding site. - True A flexible hinge is located where the myosin heads join the myosin tail. - True The main component of the thin filament is the protein actin. - True To initiate muscle contraction, Ca2+ binds to tropomyosin. - False
