Question
Chapter 9.6, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To analyze: The fate of a muscle cell that has spent all its ATP and oxygen supply.
Introduction:
A muscle cell is capable of both aerobic respiration and fermentation depending on whether oxygen is present or absent. Muscle cell also controls their catabolism when there is excess or drop down of ATP by feedback mechanism and through the regulation of allosteric enzyme activity at specific points.

Muscle Physiology
Some skeletal muscle fibers are “fast-twitch” fibers (white fibers), and others are “slow-twitch” (red) fibers. Would you expect an athlete proficient in running the 100-yard dash to have a greater proportion of red fibers or white fibers in muscles of the leg? Why?
Define the following:
Maximal stimulus
Threshold stimulus
Submaximal stimulus
A skeletal muscle can be stimulated, under laboratory conditions, with a supramaximal stimulus. Is it possible for the muscle to respond with a supramaximal contraction? Explain
Define a motor unit. Of what physiological advantage is a small motor unit arrangement in skeletal muscle?
Explain why a latent period is observed between the application of a stimulus and contraction of the stimulated muscle.
Explain, giving two causative factors, why skeletal muscle displays fatigue.
Does complete or incomplete tetanus occur physiologically? Explain.

Isometric contraction
Isotonic contraction

- Move Making Connections, Student Laboratory Packet, page 5 A2. How Does Fatigue Affect Muscle Performance? A condition known as muscle fatigue occurs when certain waste products of muscle cell activity build up in the cells. Until these waste chemicals are removed, the fatigue will continue. Do the Following Activity Hold a spring-type clothespin between your thumb and index finger. Pinch the ends together completely (until the two ends touch) and release them. Do this as rapidly as possible for one minute. Record the number of times you could squeeze the clothespin in one minute: Try the activity again, doing it the same way and using the same two fingers as before. Record the number of times you could squeeze the clothespin the second time: Answer the Following Questions Some people are able to squeeze the clothespin more times in a minute than others.

- Discuss the following statement: “The basal lam-ina of muscle fibers serves as a molecular bulletin board,in which adjoining cells can post messages that direct thedifferentiation and function of the underlying cells.”arrow_forwardReflect back on the Muscle Fatigue investigation we did earlier in this Activity. Choose one of your classmate’s interpretation to one of these questions: What happened to your energy & ability to pinch the clothespin as you progressed through each trial? Why? What might cause one to be able to get more squeezes, in other words, to have less fatigue? Explain in terms of biological concepts. Suggest how the amount of ATP produced cause your muscle cells to be less efficient. When did this change in the amount of ATP produced occur in this investigation? How could you tell? Your muscles would probably recover enough after 10 minutes to operate at the original efficiency. Explain why.
