What are the two ways to use energy systems during sports?
Aerobi Endurance Anaerobic Threshold

Aerobic Endurance
Adaptation to Exercise . Such as jogging, swimming, biking leads to increased: • Muscle capillaries • Number of mitochondria • Myoglobin synthesis - Results in greater endurance, strength, and resistance to fatigue - May convert fast glycolytic fibers into fast oxidative fibers
Aerobic Exercise
Energy for Contraction and ATP - Produces 95% of ATP during rest and light-to-moderate exercise • Slower than anaerobic pathway - Consists of series of chemical reactions that occur in mitochondria and require oxygen • Breaks glucose into CO2, H2O, and large amount ATP (32 can be produced) - Fuels used include glucose from glycogen stored in muscle fiber, then bloodborne glucose, and free fatty acids • Fatty acids are main fuel after 30 minutes of exercise
Aerobic Respiration

Energy for Contraction and ATP - ATP can also be generated by breaking down and using energy stored in glucose • Glycolysis: first step in glucose breakdown - Does not require oxygen - Glucose is broken into 2 pyruvic acid molecules - 2 ATPs are generated for each glucose broken down • Low oxygen levels prevent pyruvic acid from entering aerobic respiration phase - Normally, pyruvic acid enters mitochondria to start aerobic respiration phase; however, at high intensity activity, oxygen is not available • Bulging muscles compress blood vessels, impairing oxygen delivery - In the absence of oxygen, referred to as anaerobic glycolysis, pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid - Lactic acid • Diffuses into bloodstream • Used as fuel by liver, kidneys, and heart • Converted back into pyruvic acid or glucose by liver - Anaerobic respiration yields only 5% as much ATP as aerobic respiration, but produces ATP 2½ times faster . Muscle Fatigue • Physiological inability to contract despite continued stimulation • Usually occurs when there are ionic imbalances - Levels of K+, Ca2+, Pi can interfere with E-C coupling - Prolonged exercise may also damage SR and interferes with Ca2+ regulation and release • Lack of ATP is rarely a reason for fatigue, except in severely stressed muscles • For a muscle to return to its pre-exercise state: - Oxygen reserves are replenished - Lactic acid is reconverted to pyruvic acid - Glycogen stores are replaced - ATP and creatine phosphate reserves are resynthesized • All replenishing steps require extra oxygen, so this is referred to as excess postexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) - Formerly referred to as "oxygen debt"

• About 5-7% of bone mass is recycled each week - Spongy bone replaced ~ every 3-4 years - Compact bone replaced ~ every 10 years • Bone remodeling consists of both bone deposit and bone resorption - Occurs at surfaces of both periosteum and endosteum - Remodeling units: packets of adjacent osteoblasts and osteoclasts coordinate • New bone matrix is deposited by osteoblasts • Osteoid seam: band of unmineralized bone matrix that marks area of new matrix • Calcification front: abrupt transition zone between osteoid seam and older mineralized bone • Trigger for deposit not confirmed but may include: - Mechanical signals - Increased concentrations of calcium and phosphate ions for hydroxyapatite formation - Matrix proteins that bind and concentrate calcium - Appropriate amount of enzyme alkaline phosphatase for mineralization • Resorption is function of osteoclasts - Dig depressions or grooves as they break down matrix - Secrete lysosomal enzymes and protons (H+) that digest matrix - Acidity converts calcium salts to soluble forms • Osteoclasts also phagocytize demineralized matrix and dead osteocytes - Digested products are transcytosed across cell and released into interstitial fluid and then into blood - Once resorption is complete, osteoclasts undergo apoptosis • Osteoclast activation involves PTH (parathyroid hormone) and immune T cell proteins • Remodeling occurs continuously but is regulated by genetic factors and two control loops 1. Hormonal controls • Negative feedback loop that controls blood Ca2+ levels • Calcium functions in many processes, such as nerve transmission, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, gland and nerve secretions, as well as cell division • 99% of 1200-1400 gms of calcium are found in bone • Intestinal absorption of Ca2+ requires vitamin D 2. Response to mechanical stress 1. Hormonal controls - Parathyroid hormone (PTH): produced by parathyroid glands in response to low blood calcium levels • Stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone • Calcium is released into blood, raising levels • PTH secretion stops when homeostatic calcium levels are reached - Calcitonin: produced by parafollicular cells of thyroid gland in response to high levels of blood calcium levels • Effects are negligible, but at high pharmacological doses it can lower blood calcium levels temporarily- Other hormones play a role in bone density and turnover • Leptin - Hormone released by adipose tissue - May play role in bone density regulation by inhibiting osteoblasts • Serotonin - Neurotransmitter regulates mood and sleep; also interferes with osteoblast activity - Most serotonin made in gut - Secreted into blood after a meal - May inhibit bone turnover after a meal, so bone calcium is locked in when new calcium is flooding into bloodstream 2. Response to mechanical stress - Bones reflect stresses they encounter • Bones are stressed when weight bears on them or muscles pull on them - Wolf's law states that bones grow or remodel in response to demands placed on them • Stress is usually off center, so bones tend to bend • Bending compresses one side, stretches other side - Diaphysis is thickest where bending stresses are greatest - Bone can be hollow because compression and tension cancel each other out in center of bone - Wolf's law also explains: • Handedness (right- or left-handed) results in thicker and stronger bone of the corresponding upper limb • Curved bones are thickest where most likely to buckle • Trabeculae form trusses along lines of stress • Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach - Weight lifters have enormous thickenings at muscle attachment sites of most used muscles • Bones of fetus and bedridden people are featureless because of lack of stress on bones • Mechanical stress causes remodeling by producing electrical signals when bone is deformed - Compressed and stretched regions are oppositely charged - Compression/tension changes fluid flows within canaliculi, which may also stimulate remodeling • Hormonal controls determine whether and when remodeling occurs in response to changing blood calcium levels, but mechanical stress determines where it occurs
Bone Remodeling
• Fractures are breaks - During youth, most fractures result from trauma - In old age, most result from weakness of bone due to bone thinning • Three "either/or" fracture classifications - Position of bone ends after fracture • Nondisplaced: ends retain normal position • Displaced: ends are out of normal alignment - Completeness of break • Complete: broken all the way through • Incomplete: not broken all the way through - Whether skin is penetrated • Open (compound): skin is penetrated • Closed (simple): skin is not penetrated • Can also be described by location of fracture, external appearance, and nature of break • Treatment involves reduction, the realignment of broken bone ends - Closed reduction: physician manipulates to correct position - Open reduction: surgical pins or wires secure ends - Immobilization of bone by cast or traction is needed for healing • Time needed for repair depends on break severity, bone broken, and age of patient • Repair involves four major stages: 1. Hematoma formation 2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation 3. Bony callus formation 4. Bone remodeling 1. Hematoma formation - Torn blood vessels hemorrhage, forming mass of clotted blood called a hematoma - Site is swollen, painful, and inflamed 2. Fibrocartilaginous callus formation - Capillaries grow into hematoma - Phagocytic cells clear debris - Fibroblasts secrete collagen fibers to span break and connect broken ends - Fibroblasts, cartilage, and osteogenic cells begin reconstruction of bone • Create cartilage matrix of repair tissue • Osteoblasts form spongy bone within matrix - This mass of repair tissue is called fibrocartilaginous callus 3. Bony callus formation - Within one week, new trabeculae appear in fibrocartilaginous callus - Callus is converted to bony (hard) callus of spongy bone - Bony callus formation continues for about 2 months until firm union forms 4. Bone remodeling - Begins during bony callus formation and continues for several months - Excess material on diaphysis exterior and within medullary cavity is removed - Compact bone is laid down to reconstruct shaft walls - Final structure resembles original structure • Responds to same mechanical stressors
Bone Repair
• ________ is function of osteoclasts - Dig depressions or grooves as they break down matrix - Secrete lysosomal enzymes and protons (H+) that digest matrix - Acidity converts calcium salts to soluble forms • Osteoclasts also phagocytize demineralized matrix and dead osteocytes - Digested products are transcytosed across cell and released into interstitial fluid and then into blood - Once ________ is complete, osteoclasts undergo apoptosis • Osteoclast activation involves PTH (parathyroid hormone) and immune T cell proteins

Whole Muscle Contraction Graded Muscle Response - Single stimulus results in single contractile response (i.e., muscle twitch) - Wave (temporal) summation results if two stimuli are received by a muscle in rapid succession • Muscle fibers do not have time to completely relax between stimuli, so twitches increase in force with each stimulus • Additional Ca2+ that is released with second stimulus stimulates more shortening • Produces smooth, continuous contractions that add up (summation) • Further increase in stimulus frequency causes muscle to progress to sustained, quivering contraction referred to as unfused (incomplete) tetanus - If stimuli frequency increases, muscle tension reaches maximum • Referred to as fused (complete) tetanus because contractions "fuse" into one smooth sustained contraction plateau • Prolonged muscle contractions lead to muscle fatigue - Recruitment (or multiple motor unit summation): stimulus is sent to more muscle fibers, leading to more precise control - Types of stimulus involved in recruitment: • Subthreshold stimulus: stimulus not strong enough, so no contractions seen • Threshold stimulus: stimulus is strong enough to cause first observable contraction • Maximal stimulus: strongest stimulus that increases maximum contractile force - All motor units have been recruited - Recruitment works on size principle • Motor units with smallest muscle fibers are recruited first • Motor units with larger and larger fibers are recruited as stimulus intensity increases • Largest motor units are activated only for most powerful contractions • Motor units in muscle usually contract asynchronously - Some fibers contract while others rest - Helps prevent fatigue

Contraction
Smooth Muscle • Mechanism of contraction - Slow, synchronized contractions - Cells electrically coupled by gap junctions • Action potentials transmitted from fiber to fiber - Some cells are self-excitatory (depolarize without external stimuli) • Act as pacemakers for sheets of muscle • Rate and intensity of contraction may be modified by neural and chemical stimuli - Contraction in smooth muscle is similar to skeletal muscle contraction in following ways: • Actin and myosin interact by sliding filament mechanism • Final trigger is increased intracellular Ca2+ level • ATP energizes sliding process • Contraction stops when Ca2+ is no longer available - Contraction in smooth muscle is different from skeletal muscle in following ways: • Some Ca2+ still obtained from SR, but mostly comes from extracellular space • Ca2+ binds to calmodulin, not troponin • Activated calmodulin then activates myosin kinase (myosin light chain kinase) • Activated myosin kinase phosphorylates myosin head, activating it - Leads to crossbridge formation with actin - Stopping smooth muscle contraction requires more steps than skeletal muscle • Relaxation requires: - Ca2+ detachment from calmodulin - Active transport of Ca2+ into SR and extracellularly - Dephosphorylation of myosin to inactive myosin • Energy efficiency of smooth muscle contraction - Slower to contract and relax but maintains contraction for prolonged periods with little energy cost • Slower ATPases • Myofilaments may latch together to save energy - Most smooth muscle maintain moderate degree of contraction constantly without fatiguing • Referred to as smooth muscle tone - Makes ATP via aerobic respiration pathways • Regulation of contraction - Controlled by nerves, hormones, or local chemical changes - Neural regulation • Neurotransmitter binding causes either graded (local) potential or action potential - Results in increases in Ca2+ concentration in sarcoplasm - Response depends on neurotransmitter released and type of receptor molecules » One neurotransmitter can have a stimulatory effect on smooth muscle in one organ, but an inhibitory effect in a different organ - Hormones and local chemicals • Some smooth muscle cells have no nerve supply - Depolarize spontaneously or in response to chemical stimuli that bind to G protein-linked receptors - Chemical factors can include hormones, high CO2, pH, low oxygen • Some smooth muscles respond to both neural and chemical stimuli • Special features of smooth muscle contraction - Response to stretch • Stress-relaxation response: responds to stretch only briefly, then adapts to new length - Retains ability to contract on demand - Enables organs such as stomach and bladder to temporarily store contents - Length and tension changes • Can contract when between half and twice its resting length - Allows organ to have huge volume changes without becoming flabby when relaxed

Control Center
• ________ occurs continuously but is regulated by genetic factors and two control loops 1. Hormonal controls • Negative feedback loop that controls blood Ca2+ levels • Calcium functions in many processes, such as nerve transmission, muscle contraction, blood coagulation, gland and nerve secretions, as well as cell division • 99% of 1200-1400 gms of calcium are found in bone • Intestinal absorption of Ca2+ requires vitamin D 2. Response to mechanical stress 1. Hormonal controls - Parathyroid hormone (PTH): produced by parathyroid glands in response to low blood calcium levels • Stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone • Calcium is released into blood, raising levels • PTH secretion stops when homeostatic calcium levels are reached - Calcitonin: produced by parafollicular cells of thyroid gland in response to high levels of blood calcium levels • Effects are negligible, but at high pharmacological doses it can lower blood calcium levels temporarily- Other hormones play a role in bone density and turnover • Leptin - Hormone released by adipose tissue - May play role in bone density regulation by inhibiting osteoblasts • Serotonin - Neurotransmitter regulates mood and sleep; also interferes with osteoblast activity - Most serotonin made in gut - Secreted into blood after a meal - May inhibit bone turnover after a meal, so bone calcium is locked in when new calcium is flooding into bloodstream 2. Response to mechanical stress - Bones reflect stresses they encounter • Bones are stressed when weight bears on them or muscles pull on them - Wolf's law states that bones grow or remodel in response to demands placed on them • Stress is usually off center, so bones tend to bend • Bending compresses one side, stretches other side - Diaphysis is thickest where bending stresses are greatest - Bone can be hollow because compression and tension cancel each other out in center of bone - Wolf's law also explains: • Handedness (right- or left-handed) results in thicker and stronger bone of the corresponding upper limb • Curved bones are thickest where most likely to buckle • Trabeculae form trusses along lines of stress • Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach - Weight lifters have enormous thickenings at muscle attachment sites of most used muscles • Bones of fetus and bedridden people are featureless because of lack of stress on bones • Mechanical stress causes remodeling by producing electrical signals when bone is deformed - Compressed and stretched regions are oppositely charged - Compression/tension changes fluid flows within canaliculi, which may also stimulate remodeling • Hormonal controls determine whether and when remodeling occurs in response to changing blood calcium levels, but mechanical stress determines where it occurs

Excitability
What are the four main characteristics of muscles?
Excitability Contractility Extensibility Elasticity
Muscle Fiber Contraction • Events that transmit AP along sarcolemma (excitation) are coupled to sliding of myofilaments (contraction) • AP is propagated along sarcolemma and down into T tubules, where voltage-sensitive proteins in tubules stimulate Ca2+ release from SR - Ca2+ release leads to contraction • AP is brief and ends before contraction is seen
Excitation Contraction Coupling
Removal of wastes from metabolism and digestion • Urea (from breakdown of proteins), carbon dioxide (from metabolism), feces (unabsorbed foods)
Excretion
• Skin can secrete limited amounts of nitrogenous wastes, such as ammonia, urea, and uric acid • Sweating can cause salt and water loss

Force of Muscle Contractions • Force of contraction depends on number of cross bridges attached, which is affected by four factors: 1. Number of muscle fibers stimulated (recruitment): the more motor units recruited, the greater the force. 2. Relative size of fibers: the bulkier the muscle, the more tension it can develop • Muscle cells can increase in size (hypertrophy) with regular exercise 3. Frequency of stimulation: the higher the frequency, the greater the force • Stimuli are added together 4. Degree of muscle stretch: muscle fibers with sarcomeres that are 80-120% their normal resting length generate more force • If sarcomere is less than 80% resting length, filaments overlap too much, and force decreases • If sarcomere is greater than 120% of resting length, filaments do not overlap enough so force decreases • How fast a muscle contracts and how long it can stay contracted is influenced by: - Muscle fiber type - Load - Recruitment • Muscle fiber type - Classified according to two characteristics 1. Speed of contraction - slow or fast fibers according to: - Speed at which myosin ATPases split ATP - Pattern of electrical activity of motor neurons 2. Metabolic pathways used for ATP synthesis - Oxidative fibers: use aerobic pathways - Glycolytic fibers: use anaerobic glycolysis - Based on these two criteria, skeletal muscle fibers can be classified into three types: • Slow oxidative fibers, fast oxidative fibers, or fast glycolytic fibers - Most muscles contain mixture of fiber types, resulting in a range of contractile speed and fatigue resistance • All fibers in one motor unit are the same type • Genetics dictate individual's percentage of each - Different muscle types are better suited for different jobs • Slow oxidative fibers: low-intensity, endurance activities - Example: maintaining posture • Fast oxidative fibers: medium-intensity activities - Example: sprinting or walking • Fast glycolytic fibers: short-term intense or powerful movements - Example: hitting a baseball • Load and recruitment - Load: muscles contract fastest when no load is added • The greater the load, the shorter the duration of contraction • The greater the load, the slower the contraction - Recruitment: the more motor units contracting, the faster and more prolonged the contraction

Functional Classification
Muscle Fiber Contraction • Resting sarcolemma is polarized, meaning a voltage exists across membrane - Inside of cell is negative compared to outside • Action potential is caused by changes in electrical charges • Occurs in three steps 1. End plate potential 2. Depolarization 3. Repolarization 1. End plate potential - ACh released from motor neuron binds to ACh receptors on sarcolemma - Causes chemically gated ion channels (ligands) on sarcolemma to open - Na+ diffuses into muscle fiber • Some K+ diffuses outward, but not much - Because Na+ diffuses in, interior of sarcolemma becomes less negative (more positive) - Results in local depolarization called end plate potential 2. Depolarization: generation and propagation of an action potential (AP) - If end plate potential causes enough change in membrane voltage to reach critical level called threshold, voltage-gated Na+ channels in membrane will open - Large influx of Na+ through channels into cell triggers AP that is unstoppable and will lead to muscle fiber contraction - AP spreads across sarcolemma from one voltage-gated Na+ channel to next one in adjacent areas, causing that area to depolarize 3. Repolarization: restoration of resting conditions - Na+ voltage-gated channels close, and voltage- gated K+ channels open - K+ efflux out of cell rapidly brings cell back to initial resting membrane voltage - Refractory period: muscle fiber cannot be stimulated for a specific amount of time, until repolarization is complete - Ionic conditions of resting state are restored by Na+-K+ pump • Na+ that came into cell is pumped back out, and K+ that flowed outside is pumped back into cell

Isotonic Contraction
Whole Muscle Contractions Isotonic and Isometric Contractions . Muscle changes in length and moves load - Isotonic contractions can be either concentric or eccentric: • Concentric contractions: muscle shortens and does work - Example: biceps contract to pick up a book • Eccentric contractions: muscle lengthens and generates force - Example: laying a book down causes biceps to lengthen while generating a force
Isotonic Contractions
Whole Muscle Contractions • Isotonic contractions: muscle changes in length and moves load - Isotonic contractions can be either concentric or eccentric: • Concentric contractions: muscle shortens and does work - Example: biceps contract to pick up a book • Eccentric contractions: muscle lengthens and generates force - Example: laying a book down causes biceps to lengthen while generating a force • Isometric contractions - Load is greater than the maximum tension muscle can generate, so muscle neither shortens nor lengthens • Electrochemical and mechanical events are same in isotonic or isometric contractions, but results are different - In isotonic contractions, actin filaments shorten and cause movement - In isometric contractions, cross bridges generate force, but actin filaments do not shorten • Myosin heads "spin their wheels" on same actin- binding site

Resting (quiescent) zone 2. Proliferation (growth) zone 3. Hypertrophic zone 4. Calcification zone 5. Ossification (osteogenic) zone 1. Resting (quiescent) zone - Area of cartilage on epiphyseal side of epiphyseal plate that is relatively inactive 2. Proliferation (growth) zone - Area of cartilage on diaphysis side of epiphyseal plate that is rapidly dividing - New cells formed move upward, pushing epiphysis away from diaphysis, causing lengthening 3. Hypertrophic zone - Area with older chondrocytes closer to diaphysis - Cartilage lacunae enlarge and erode, forming interconnecting spaces 4. Calcification zone - Surrounding cartilage matrix calcifies; chondrocytes die and deteriorate 5. Ossification zone - Chondrocyte deterioration leaves long spicules of calcified cartilage at epiphysis-diaphysis junction - Spicules are then eroded by osteoclasts and are covered with new bone by osteoblasts - Ultimately replaced with spongy bone - Medullary cavity enlarges as spicules are eroded • Near end of adolescence, chondroblasts divide less often • Epiphyseal plate thins, then is replaced by bone • Epiphyseal plate closure occurs when epiphysis and diaphysis fuse • Bone lengthening ceases - Females: occurs around 18 years of age - Males: occurs around 21 years of age • Growing bones widen as they lengthen through appositional growth - Can occur throughout life • Bones thicken in response to increased stress from muscle activity or added weight • Osteoblasts beneath periosteum secrete bone matrix on external bone • Osteoclasts remove bone on endosteal surface • Usually more building up than breaking down which leads to thicker, stronger bone that is not too heavy

Microscopic Anatomy
Whole Muscle Contraction . Nerve-muscle functional unit • Consists of the motor neuron and all muscle fibers (four to several hundred) it supplies - Smaller the fiber number, the greater the fine control • Muscle fibers from a motor unit are spread throughout the whole muscle, so stimulation of a single motor unit causes only weak contraction of entire muscle

Smooth Muscle Types of Smooth Muscle - Located in large airways in lungs, large arteries, arrector pili muscles, and iris of eye - Very few gap junctions, and spontaneous depolarization is rare - Similar to skeletal muscle in some features • Consists of independent muscle fibers • Innervated by autonomic nervous system, forming motor units • Graded contractions occur in response to neural stimuli that involve recruitment - Different from skeletal muscle because, like unitary smooth muscle, it is controlled by autonomic nervous system and hormones
Multiunit Smooth Muscle
Energy for Contraction and ATP • Physiological inability to contract despite continued stimulation • Usually occurs when there are ionic imbalances - Levels of K+, Ca2+, Pi can interfere with E-C coupling - Prolonged exercise may also damage SR and interferes with Ca2+ regulation and release • Lack of ATP is rarely a reason for fatigue, except in severely stressed muscles
Muscle Fatigue
• Four steps must occur for skeletal muscle to contract: 1. Nerve stimulation 2. Action potential, an electrical current, must be generated in sarcolemma 3. Action potential must be propagated along sarcolemma 4. Intracellular Ca2+ levels must rise briefly • Steps 1 and 2 occur at neuromuscular junction • Steps 3 and 4 link electrical signals to contraction, so referred to as excitation-contraction coupling • Skeletal muscles are stimulated by somatic motor neurons • Axons (long, threadlike extensions of motor neurons) travel from central nervous system to skeletal muscle • Each axon divides into many branches as it enters muscle • Axon branches end on muscle fiber, forming neuromuscular junction or motor end plate - Each muscle fiber has one neuromuscular junction with one motor neuron • Axon terminal (end of axon) and muscle fiber are separated by gel-filled space called synaptic cleft • Stored within axon terminals are membrane-bound synaptic vesicles - Synaptic vesicles contain neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) • Infoldings of sarcolemma, called junctional folds, contain millions of ACh receptors • NMJ consists of axon terminals, synaptic cleft, and junctional folds • Events at the neuromuscular junction - Nerve impulse arrives at axon terminal, causing ACh to be released into synaptic cleft - ACh diffuses across cleft and binds with receptors on sarcolemma - ACh binding leads to electrical events that ultimately generate an action potential through muscle fiber - ACh is quickly broken down by enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which stops contractions • Many toxins, drugs, and diseases interfere with events at the neuromuscular junction - Example: myasthenia gravis: disease characterized by drooping upper eyelids, difficulty swallowing and talking, and generalized muscle weakness - Involves shortage of Ach receptors because person's ACh receptors are attacked by own antibodies - Suggests this is an autoimmune disease • Resting sarcolemma is polarized, meaning a voltage exists across membrane - Inside of cell is negative compared to outside • Action potential is caused by changes in electrical charges • Occurs in three steps 1. End plate potential 2. Depolarization 3. Repolarization 1. End plate potential - ACh released from motor neuron binds to ACh receptors on sarcolemma - Causes chemically gated ion channels (ligands) on sarcolemma to open - Na+ diffuses into muscle fiber • Some K+ diffuses outward, but not much - Because Na+ diffuses in, interior of sarcolemma becomes less negative (more positive) - Results in local depolarization called end plate potential 2. Depolarization: generation and propagation of an action potential (AP) - If end plate potential causes enough change in membrane voltage to reach critical level called threshold, voltage-gated Na+ channels in membrane will open - Large influx of Na+ through channels into cell triggers AP that is unstoppable and will lead to muscle fiber contraction - AP spreads across sarcolemma from one voltage-gated Na+ channel to next one in adjacent areas, causing that area to depolarize 3. Repolarization: restoration of resting conditions - Na+ voltage-gated channels close, and voltage- gated K+ channels open - K+ efflux out of cell rapidly brings cell back to initial resting membrane voltage - Refractory period: muscle fiber cannot be stimulated for a specific amount of time, until repolarization is complete - Ionic conditions of resting state are restored by Na+-K+ pump • Na+ that came into cell is pumped back out, and K+ that flowed outside is pumped back into cell • Excitation-contraction (E-C) coupling: events that transmit AP along sarcolemma (excitation) are coupled to sliding of myofilaments (contraction) • AP is propagated along sarcolemma and down into T tubules, where voltage-sensitive proteins in tubules stimulate Ca2+ release from SR - Ca2+ release leads to contraction • AP is brief and ends before contraction is seen • Nerve impulse travels down axon of motor neuron • When impulse reaches axon terminal, voltage-gated calcium channels open, and Ca2+ enters axon terminal • Ca2+ influx causes synaptic vesicle to exocytose Ach into synaptic cleft • ACh binds to receptors on sarcolemma, causing chemically gated Na+-K+ channels to open and initiate an end plate potential • When threshold is reached, voltage-gated Na+ channels open, initiating an AP • At low intracellular Ca2+ concentration: - Tropomyosin blocks active sites on actin - Myosin heads cannot attach to actin - Muscle fiber remains relaxed • Voltage-sensitive proteins in T tubules change shape, causing SR to release Ca2+ to cytosol • At higher intracellular Ca2+ concentrations, Ca2+ binds to troponin • Troponin changes shape and moves tropomyosin away from myosin-binding sites • Myosin heads is then allowed to bind to actin, forming cross bridge • Cycling is initiated, causing sarcomere shortening and muscle contraction • When nervous stimulation ceases, Ca2+ is pumped back into SR, and contraction ends • Four steps of the cross bridge cycle 1. Cross bridge formation: high-energy myosin head attaches to actin thin filament active site 2. Working (power) stroke: myosin head pivots and pulls thin filament toward M line 3. Cross bridge detachment: ATP attaches to myosin head, causing cross bridge to detach 4. Cocking of myosin head: energy from hydrolysis of ATP "cocks" myosin head into high-energy state • This energy will be used for power stroke in next cross bridge cycle • Rigor mortis - 3-4 hours after death, muscles begin to stiffen • Peak rigidity occurs about 12 hours postmortem - Intracellular calcium levels increase because ATP is no longer being synthesized, so calcium cannot be pumped back into SR • Results in cross bridge formation - ATP is also needed for cross bridge detachment • Results in myosin head staying bound to actin, causing constant state of contraction - Muscles stay contracted until muscle proteins break down, causing myosin to release
Muscle Fiber Contraction
Muscle Fiber Contraction • At low intracellular Ca2+ concentration: - Tropomyosin blocks active sites on actin - Myosin heads cannot attach to actin - Muscle fiber remains relaxed • Voltage-sensitive proteins in T tubules change shape, causing SR to release Ca2+ to cytosol • At higher intracellular Ca2+ concentrations, Ca2+ binds to troponin • Troponin changes shape and moves tropomyosin away from myosin-binding sites • Myosin heads is then allowed to bind to actin, forming cross bridge • Cycling is initiated, causing sarcomere shortening and muscle contraction • When nervous stimulation ceases, Ca2+ is pumped back into SR, and contraction ends • Four steps of the cross bridge cycle 1. Cross bridge formation: high-energy myosin head attaches to actin thin filament active site 2. Working (power) stroke: myosin head pivots and pulls thin filament toward M line 3. Cross bridge detachment: ATP attaches to myosin head, causing cross bridge to detach 4. Cocking of myosin head: energy from hydrolysis of ATP "cocks" myosin head into high-energy state • This energy will be used for power stroke in next cross bridge cycle

helps recoil after stretch; resists excessive stretching • Dystrophin - Links thin filaments to proteins of sarcolemma • Nebulin, myomesin, C proteins bind filaments or sarcomeres together - Maintain alignment of sarcomere • Sarcoplasmic reticulum: network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum tubules surrounding each myofibril - Most run longitudinally - Terminal cisterns form perpendicular cross channels at the A-I band junction - SR functions in regulation of intracellular Ca2+ levels - Stores and releases Ca2+ • T tubules - Tube formed by protrusion of sarcolemma deep into cell interior • Increase muscle fiber's surface area greatly • Lumen continuous with extracellular space • Allow electrical nerve transmissions to reach deep into interior of each muscle fiber - Tubules penetrate cell's interior at each A-I band junction between terminal cisterns • Triad: area formed from terminal cistern of one sarcomere, T tubule, and terminal cistern of neighboring sarcomere • Triad relationships - T tubule contains integral membrane proteins that protrude into intermembrane space (space between tubule and muscle fiber sarcolemma) • Tubule proteins act as voltage sensors that change shape in response to an electrical current - SR cistern membranes also have integral membrane proteins that protrude into intermembrane space • SR integral proteins control opening of calcium channels in SR cisterns - When an electrical impulse passes by, T tubule proteins change shape, causing SR proteins to change shape, causing release of calcium into cytoplasm • Contraction: the activation of cross bridges to generate force • Shortening occurs when tension generated by cross bridges on thin filaments exceeds forces opposing shortening • Contraction ends when cross bridges become inactive • In the relaxed state, thin and thick filaments overlap only slightly at ends of A band • Sliding filament model of contraction states that during contraction, thin filaments slide past thick filaments, causing actin and myosin to overlap more - Neither thick nor thin filaments change length, just overlap more • When nervous system stimulates muscle fiber, myosin heads are allowed to bind to actin, forming cross bridges, which cause sliding (contraction) process to begin • Cross bridge attachments form and break several times, each time pulling thin filaments a little closer toward center of sarcome in a ratcheting action - Causes shortening of muscle fiber • Z discs are pulled toward M line • I bands shorten • Z discs become closer • H zones disappear • A bands move closer to each other

Factors of Muscle Contraction • How fast a muscle contracts and how long it can stay contracted is influenced by: - Muscle fiber type - Load - Recruitment • Muscle fiber type - Classified according to two characteristics 1. Speed of contraction - slow or fast fibers according to: - Speed at which myosin ATPases split ATP - Pattern of electrical activity of motor neurons 2. Metabolic pathways used for ATP synthesis - Oxidative fibers: use aerobic pathways - Glycolytic fibers: use anaerobic glycolysis - Based on these two criteria, skeletal muscle fibers can be classified into three types: • Slow oxidative fibers, fast oxidative fibers, or fast glycolytic fibers - Most muscles contain mixture of fiber types, resulting in a range of contractile speed and fatigue resistance • All fibers in one motor unit are the same type • Genetics dictate individual's percentage of each - Different muscle types are better suited for different jobs • Slow oxidative fibers: low-intensity, endurance activities - Example: maintaining posture • Fast oxidative fibers: medium-intensity activities - Example: sprinting or walking • Fast glycolytic fibers: short-term intense or powerful movements - Example: hitting a baseball • Load and recruitment - Load: muscles contract fastest when no load is added • The greater the load, the shorter the duration of contraction • The greater the load, the slower the contraction - Recruitment: the more motor units contracting, the faster and more prolonged the contraction

Whole Muscle Contraction Graded Muscle Response Changing Frequency of Stimulation . Results if two stimuli are received by a muscle in rapid succession • Muscle fibers do not have time to completely relax between stimuli, so twitches increase in force with each stimulus • Additional Ca2+ that is released with second stimulus stimulates more shortening • Produces smooth, continuous contractions that add up (summation) • Further increase in stimulus frequency causes muscle to progress to sustained, quivering contraction referred to as unfused (incomplete) tetanus

Whiteheads Acne Seborrhea
• Same principles apply to contraction of both single fibers and whole muscles • Contraction produces muscle tension, the force exerted on load or object to be moved • Contraction may/may not shorten muscle - Isometric contraction: no shortening; muscle tension increases but does not exceed load - Isotonic contraction: muscle shortens because muscle tension exceeds load • Force and duration of contraction vary in response to stimuli of different frequencies and intensities • Each muscle is served by at least one motor nerve - Motor nerve contains axons of up to hundreds of motor neurons - Axons branch into terminals, each of which forms NMJ with single muscle fiber • Motor unit is the nerve-muscle functional unit • Motor unit consists of the motor neuron and all muscle fibers (four to several hundred) it supplies - Smaller the fiber number, the greater the fine control • Muscle fibers from a motor unit are spread throughout the whole muscle, so stimulation of a single motor unit causes only weak contraction of entire muscle • Muscle twitch: simplest contraction resulting from a muscle fiber's response to a single action potential from motor neuron - Muscle fiber contracts quickly, then relaxes • Twitch can be observed and recorded as a myogram - Tracing: line recording contraction activity • Three phases of muscle twitch - Latent period: events of excitation-contraction coupling • No muscle tension seen - Period of contraction: cross bridge formation • Tension increases - Period of relaxation: Ca2+ reentry into SR • Tension declines to zero • Muscle contracts faster than it relaxes • Differences in strength and duration of twitches are due to variations in metabolic properties and enzymes between muscles - Example: eye muscles contraction are rapid and brief, whereas larger, fleshy muscles (calf muscles) contract more slowly and hold it longer • Normal muscle contraction is relatively smooth, and strength varies with needs - A muscle twitch is seen only in lab setting or with neuromuscular problems, but not in normal muscle • Graded muscle responses vary strength of contraction for different demands - Required for proper control of skeletal movement • Responses are graded by: - Changing frequency of stimulation - Changing strength of stimulation • Muscle response to changes in stimulus frequency - Single stimulus results in single contractile response (i.e., muscle twitch) - Wave (temporal) summation results if two stimuli are received by a muscle in rapid succession • Muscle fibers do not have time to completely relax between stimuli, so twitches increase in force with each stimulus • Additional Ca2+ that is released with second stimulus stimulates more shortening • Produces smooth, continuous contractions that add up (summation) • Further increase in stimulus frequency causes muscle to progress to sustained, quivering contraction referred to as unfused (incomplete) tetanus - If stimuli frequency increases, muscle tension reaches maximum • Referred to as fused (complete) tetanus because contractions "fuse" into one smooth sustained contraction plateau • Prolonged muscle contractions lead to muscle fatigue - Recruitment (or multiple motor unit summation): stimulus is sent to more muscle fibers, leading to more precise control - Types of stimulus involved in recruitment: • Subthreshold stimulus: stimulus not strong enough, so no contractions seen • Threshold stimulus: stimulus is strong enough to cause first observable contraction • Maximal stimulus: strongest stimulus that increases maximum contractile force - All motor units have been recruited - Recruitment works on size principle • Motor units with smallest muscle fibers are recruited first • Motor units with larger and larger fibers are recruited as stimulus intensity increases • Largest motor units are activated only for most powerful contractions • Motor units in muscle usually contract asynchronously - Some fibers contract while others rest - Helps prevent fatigue . Muscle Tone • Constant, slightly contracted state of all muscles • Due to spinal reflexes - Groups of motor units are alternately activated in response to input from stretch receptors in muscles • Keeps muscles firm, healthy, and ready to respond • Isotonic contractions: muscle changes in length and moves load - Isotonic contractions can be either concentric or eccentric: • Concentric contractions: muscle shortens and does work - Example: biceps contract to pick up a book • Eccentric contractions: muscle lengthens and generates force - Example: laying a book down causes biceps to lengthen while generating a force • Isometric contractions - Load is greater than the maximum tension muscle can generate, so muscle neither shortens nor lengthens • Electrochemical and mechanical events are same in isotonic or isometric contractions, but results are different - In isotonic contractions, actin filaments shorten and cause movement - In isometric contractions, cross bridges generate force, but actin filaments do not shorten • Myosin heads "spin their wheels" on same actin- binding site
