5 Matching Questions

  1. 3,500
  2. mitochondria
  3. sarcomeres
  4. Muscle stores little CP and ATP
  5. creatine phosphate system
  1. a repeating units running the length of each muscle fiber
  2. b site of ATP production in cells; the more mitochondria - the more aerobic energy production capability of the cell
  3. c primary limitation of producing ATP in the phosphagen system
  4. d calories that must be burned to lose 1 pound
  5. e secondary source anaerobic ATP (to glycogen); high energy phosphate molecule store in cells; can be used to resynthesize ATP immediately; system of energy transfer for resynthesis of ATP without oxygen via breakdown of the CP molecule

5 Multiple Choice Questions

  1. protein that carries oxygen in red blood cells
  2. slow speed of contraction & high capacity for aerobic glycolysis (e.g., marathon runner)
  3. 1. CNS sends nerve impulse; 2. sufficient ATP near actin and myosin protein; 3. myosin heads/filamints attach to actin to form crossbridge; 4. myosin pulls actin to the center; 5. sacromere shortens/contraction occurs
  4. primary energy source for runner 45-60 min @ 65% VO2 max
  5. decreased blood flow to the heart leading to insufficient oxygen to the heart and chest pain or angina

5 True/False Questions

  1. anaerobic thresholdpoint during high intensity exercise when the body can no longer meet its oxygen needs and switches to anaerobic metabolism; 50-80% maximum effort

          

  2. fast twitch muscle fiberfast speed of contraction & high capacity for anaerobic glycolysis (e.g., sprinter, power lifter)

          

  3. 50-80%max O2 consumption for general fitness improvement

          

  4. benefit of cv fitnessheart spends more time in relaxation phase/diastole -- at rest or during exercise

          

  5. Inability to extract O2 and use it at the muscle efficientlymore capillaries; more mitochondria & more activity of mitochondrial enzymes
