Chapter 8 worksheet 2 Human Physiology

Across
At times of intense exercise,by this process the muscle will build up pyruvate and then convert it to lactate by the process of fermentation when oxygen is limited.
In smooth muscle, Ca2+-dependent phosphorylation of light chains of proteins associated with the myosin heads.
Type 1 fibers, utilize oxidative phosphorylation for the synthesis of ATP.
The first energy storehouse used at the onset of contractile activity.
The processes requiring adequate oxygen. Aerobic or endurance exercise can be supported by the processes.
With no Z lines for anchoring the thin filaments, smooth muscle utilizes_____ _____, located by the intermediate fibers.
Type 2x (white) fibers, equipped with high content of glycolytic enzymes and less oxidative capacity.
Smooth muscle that is partially contracted at all times, such as smooth muscle in the walls of arterioles.
The enzyme responsible for liberating the energy needed for synthesizing ATP.
Contraction that has two primary factors: Number of muscle fibers contracting and tension developed by each contracting fiber.
Down
Reduces the strength of the myosin/actin interaction and decreases the sensitivity of the troponin/tropomyosin complex to Ca2+. Primary factor in fatigue.
Smooth muscle that contracts in bursts and is most abundant in hollow organs that push contents through them, such as the digestive organs.
Innervated by the gamma-motor neuron, these fibers monitor muscle length and are involved in certain reflex movements. AKA intrafusal fibers.
Monitor changes in muscle tension and send this information to the conscious regions of the brain to make one aware of the tension in the particular muscle, located in tendons.
The CNS no longer adequately activates the motor neuron supplying the muscles.
Multiple cells function as if they are one large unit. These cells are myogenic or self-excitable and form a functional syncytia.
Type 2a fibers, utilize oxidative phosphorylation for the synthesis of ATP but have a higher myosin ATPase activity.
Increased oxygen consumption is necessary to recover from exercise. Abbreviation
Smooth muscle that has multiple independently functioning units that must be stimulated by autonomic neurons to contract (neurogenic).
The muscle can no longer respond to stimulation with equivalent contractile activity. This
