Muscle Response to Strong StimuliMuscle Response to Strong Stimuli
Slide 6.22Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Muscle force depends upon the number of fibers stimulated
More fibers contracting results in greater muscle tension
Muscles can continue to contract unless they run out of energy

Energy for Muscle ContractionEnergy for Muscle Contraction
Slide 6.23Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Initially, muscles used stored ATP for energy
Bonds of ATP are broken to release energy
Only 4-6 seconds worth of ATP is stored by muscles
After this initial time, other pathways must be utilized to produce ATP
Page 22
Challenge Problem1. Where do humans get the initial burst of
energy, about 4-6 seconds?
2. When talking about muscle cells, contract = ________
3. Epimysium = inner or outer?
4. Endomysium = inner or outer?

Aerobic Respiration Series of metabolic
pathways that occur in the mitochondria
Glucose is broken down to carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy
This is a slower reaction that requires continuous oxygen

Anaerobic glycolysis
Reaction that breaks down glucose without oxygen
Glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid to produce some ATP
Pyruvic acid is converted to lactic acid

Anaerobic glycolysis (continued)
This reaction is not as efficient, but is fast
Huge amounts of glucose are needed
Lactic acid produces muscle fatigue

• Aerobic respiration provides ATP, but only in the presence of __________
• ________ acid is a result of anaerobic glycolysis.

Muscle FatigueMuscle Fatigue
Slide 6.27Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
When a muscle is fatigued, it is unable to contract
Increasing acidity (from lactic acid) and lack of ATP causes the muscle to contract less

Types of Muscle ContractionsTypes of Muscle Contractions
Slide 6.28Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Isotonic contractions Myofilaments are able to slide past each
other during contractions
The muscle shortens
Ex: Lifting a book
Isometric contractions Tension in the muscles increases
The muscle is unable to shorten
Ex: Trying to lift a car

Muscle ToneMuscle Tone
Slide 6.29Copyright © 2003 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Some fibers are contracted even in a relaxed muscle
Different fibers contract at different times to provide muscle tone
The process of stimulating various fibers is under involuntary control
