Document Summary

The (cid:373)(cid:455)ofi(cid:271)rils are (cid:272)o(cid:373)posed of myofilaments: thi(cid:374) fila(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts actin, thi(cid:272)k fila(cid:373)e(cid:374)ts myosin. The functional unit of a muscle is called a sarcomere. Parts of a sarcomere: h zone=contains myosin only. When a sarcomere is fully contracted, the following happens: the h zone and i band disappears, the z lines move closer together. The a band does not change in length and the m line is unaffected: at this time calcium channels open to facilitate the influx of ca2+ io(cid:374)s . The ap triggers sarcoplasmic reticulum (sr: c(cid:455)tosoli(cid:272) calcium pump (via active transport) Tetanus is a state of s(cid:373)ooth a(cid:374)d sustai(cid:374)ed (cid:272)o(cid:374)tra(cid:272)tio(cid:374) : these fibers have many mitochondria, a rich blood supply, and a large amount of myoglobin. Slow-t(cid:449)it(cid:272)h fi(cid:271)ers all slow fibers are oxidative: colour of fibers are red . Fast-t(cid:449)it(cid:272)h fi(cid:271)ers fast twitch fibers can be either glycolytic or oxidative: colour of fibers are white. During this time, the sarcoplasmic reticulum deteriorates and releases ca2+ ions.
