consumption of oxygen and nutrients by muscle cells requires more blood supply. The functions of blood include delivering oxygen‚ removing CO2‚ removing heat and delivering nutrients and water. Therefore‚ blood flow is important in cellular respiration‚ which is the process where ATP is produced through the conversion of metabolites‚ also involving the consumption of oxygen and release of CO2 as a waste product. ATP is vital to skeletal muscle contraction‚ since the power stroke is facilitated by

Muscle Fatigue Monira Begum How muscles work and get the energy they need to work. Muscles need energy to work and move. (1) Their main source of energy is glucose. Glucose is made of a number of different types of carbohydrates (usually sugar) as well as milk and fruits. Glucose turns into other chemicals such as water and carbon dioxide which releases energy. (2)Your muscles get warm when using or burning energy. Glucose is sent to muscles through red blood cells; this is how muscles get

Christopher Couchell Muscle Physiology Purpose: The Purpose of this exercise is to understand how muscle twitch‚ contract and react to different activities. Exercise 1: Muscle Twitch A. What is a muscle twitch? A muscle twitch is the fasciculation ‚ or "muscle twitch"‚ is a small‚ local‚ involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation visible under the skin. B. According to the graphs‚ which muscle has the fastest twitch? Why? The lateral rectus eye muscle has the fastest twitch. It

animals: connective‚ muscle‚ nervous‚ and epithelial. We are going to go into muscle tissue. The cells of muscle tissues are called fibers. There are three types of muscle tissue and they are skeletal‚ cardiac‚ and smooth. All types can go though hypertrophy (enlargement or overgrowth of an organ or part of the body due to the increased size of the constituent cells). Muscle fibers contract due to the interaction of the contractile proteins‚ actin and myosin. Muscle contraction generates contractile

Cellular Respiration Cellular respiration is a chemical process that produces adenosine triphosphate‚ or otherwise known as ATP for energy that is also needed to survive. It leaves waste products‚ carbon dioxide and water‚ which is needed for photosynthesis‚ a process that only plants use. Production of ATP through the process of cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria of the cytosol inside plant and animal cells. Cellular respiration occurs in three stages‚ Glycolysis‚ which happens in

Endomysium- covers the individual muscle fibers Sarcomere- smallest contractile element of muscle fiber‚ extends from z-line to z-line Myofilament- responsible for contraction Striated- the color variations on the muscle fiber. Has to do with the amount of protein and the way it reflects light.

Aerobic respiration is the release of energy from glucose or another organic substrate in the presence of Oxygen. Strictly speaking aerobic means in air‚ but it is the Oxygen in the air which is necessary for aerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration is in the absence of air. Here is a molecular model of a glucose molecule. You do not need to memorise the diagram for you GCSE exam‚ but it should help you to understand that a molecule of glucose contains six atoms of Carbon (shown in blue)‚ twelve

excitation-contraction coupling mechanism between skeletal and cardiac muscles. Excitation-contraction coupling is the combination of the electrical and mechanical events in the muscle fibres and is related by the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. (Silverthorn‚ 2007) In the skeletal muscle‚ action potential in the nerves is generated when the somatic motor neurons releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)‚ at the neuromuscular junction. This initiates muscle action potential

The heart performed the pump action by a sequence of alternating contraction and relaxation of the heart muscle‚ and the term used for contraction is systole‚ and the term used for relaxation is diastole. I am explaining this because it is very important terms‚ and involve five stages: 1. The vagus nerve stimulate the sinoatrial node or SAN‚ which is the pacemaker of the heart. Is a small area in the upper wall of the Right atrium‚ close to the vena cava; the fibers of the of the SAN contract 70
