Fechar
Acetylcholine
An increase in size of a certain muscle
Steady state
Cerebellum
Tissue that surrounds the whole muscle
Exentensibility
Isometric contraction
the part of the cerebral cortex in the brain in which originate the nerve impulses that initiate voluntary muscular activity
Motor unit
detects changes in muscle length and then force muscles to contract
Myofibril
the smallest functional, contractive unit of a myofibril. They occur as repeating units, extending from our Z-line to the next along the length of the myofibril
anabolic
Actin
a fibrous protein which works together with actin to form contractile filaments of muscle cells and is also involved in motion in other types of cell
The breakdown of molecules
Chronic hypertrophy
Acetyl CoA
A water-soluble enzyme that hydrolyzes trigylycerides in lipoproteins
Creatine kinase
the component of the cytoplasm of a cell, within which various organelles and particles are suspended
Glycolysis
Hexokinase
organelle found in most cells where the biochemical processes of repirationg and energy production occur
Oxygen
Phosphorylase
the addition of a phosphoryl group to a molecule. Turns proteins on and off
is the end product of glycolysis and is converted into acetyl CoA when there is sufficient oxygen.when there is insufficient oxygen, it is converted into lactic acid
Lactate
Glycogenolysis
Malate-Aspartate shuttle
a series of compounds that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors
is a compound that supplies energy for many biochemical cellular processes by undergoing enzymatic hydrolysis especially to ADP
is a compound made up of only 2 phosphates which when combined with another phosphate isconverted into ATP
is produced when two ADP are combined. When this happens 1 ATP is created along with 1 AMP
Golgi tendon
Muscle fatigue
Slow oxidative muscle fibres are highly resistant to fatigue and can work for longer
Fast Glycolytic muscle fibres fatigue very quickly and only last during short bursts of energy (100m sprint)
Fast oxidative glycolytic muscle fibres are in the middle of SO and FG when it comes to when they are used and how long they are used for
DOMS
Allosteric enzyme
Homeostasis
