Abstract Reviewers Schedule
Abstract due MondayAt start of class.
1QQ # 20 for 10:30Write each letter, and circle each correct response.
A person who trains to participate in the Tour de France would naturally acclimate bya) increasing the number of Type I myofibers b) increasing the density of capillaries in leg musclesc) synthesizing much more creatine than normald) Converting Type II glycolytic fibers to Type II oxidative/glycolytic fibers.e) Synthesizing more thick and thin myofilaments in Type II myofibers.
1QQ # 20 for 11:30Write each letter, and circle each correct response.
A person who trains to compete in weightlifting would naturally acclimate bya) increasing the number of Type I myofibers b) increasing the density of capillaries in chest and arm musclesc) synthesizing much more thick and thin myofilaments in Type II myofibersd) Converting Type II glycolytic fibers to Type II oxidative/glycolytic fibers.e) Increasing the number of mitochondria in Type I myofibers of the chest and arm.
S 15 But each motor unit has myofibers of the same type: I or IIA or IIB.
Fig. 09.26Relationship between recruitment and motor unit type
S 17
Size of somatic motoneuron cell body
The Size Principle
Increasing tension in a whole muscle
• Frequency of stimulation of motor neuron• Recruitment: activate more motor units• Activate larger motor units
• These factors also influence actual tension– Fiber length (length-tension) relationship– Fiber diameter– Level of fatigue (state of activity)
S 16
Length-tension Relationship
So….. Tension produced by a single myofiber varies
depending on sarcomere length.
S 13
Types of Contractions
Isometric =Same length
Isotonic =Same tension
S 6
Aka Lengthening contraction
Consider blood flow to skeletal muscles during isometric contractions.Consider blood pressure during isometric contractions.
S 9
Are there benefits of using trekking poles?
Chapter 9 B Properties of Smooth Muscle
How does smooth muscle differ from skeletal muscle?(innervation, membrane potentials, excitation-contraction coupling, twitch duration, fatigue, etc. (Table 9-6 p.287)
What are the features of membrane potential of smooth muscle? (pacemakers and slow waves)
What are the differences between single-unit and multi-unit smooth muscle?(location, spread of excitation)
• By contraction pattern– Phasic: periodic contraction and relaxation
• Ex: esophagus and intestine
– Tonic: continuously contracting to some degree• Ex: esophageal and urinary sphincters, vascular
Classifying smooth muscle continued.
• By communication with neighboring myofibers– Single-unit smooth muscle: gap junctions with
neighbors (function as a group)• Ex: intestines
– Multi-unit smooth muscle: no gap junctions (myofibers function independently)
• Ex: Iris and ciliary muscle of the eye
Interesting phenomenon: Uterine smooth muscle is multi-unit until just before labor and delivery when genes for gap junctions are expressed and the uterus become single-unit.
Control by neurotransmitters, hormones, local factors for some smooth muscles (02, NO, pH, stretch, vasodilators ….)
S 13
Slow waves and pacemaker potentials
Often with pacemaker cells
Intestinal tract, uterus, small diameter blood vessels Large airways of lungs, large arteries, ciliary muscle
Comparison of Single-Unit and Multi-Unit Smooth Muscles
Figure 9.34
Special situation: Dephosphorylation & latch bridge
from SR and influx during Action Potential or graded potential
Graded potentials result in graded
contractions
S 11
Slow twitch of SM due to slow action of myosin ATPase.
Lack troponin
Excitation-contraction coupling in Smooth Muscles

Latchbridge =latch state
S 12 Comparison of Twitch Duration
Thankful for latch state!Crucial for long-term tension of sphincters.
Intercalated Discs: mechanical attachments of cardiac myofibers to each other, with gap junctions (electrical synapses) to conduct AP
