CO2, H2O Creatine Phosphate ensures ATP remains high – provides P to ADP O2 + cellular respiration allows filaments to be drawn together Energy > ATP – lactic acid accumulates causing pain and fatigue = Oxygen Debt fluid around muscle becomes acidic ...
Fat as fuel Triglycerides (storage form of fats) can be metabolized to generate ATP –For low intensity exercise –For exercise of long duration Ex: 10 hr. car-to-car approach + climb –Abundant energy source, even in lean people –Provides 2x more energy, per gram, as carbohydrate Resting...
Function of the Nerve Supply to Smooth Muscle: It has two important properties: (1) its spontaneous activity in the absence of nervous stimulation, and (2) Its sensitivity to chemical agents released from nerves locally or brought to it in the circulation. The function of the nerve supply is...
Introduction Skeletal muscle, which comprises approximately 40% of total human body weight, is a highly specialized tissue responsible for generating force and participating in human locomotion, posture maintenance, and respiration control [1]. Skeletal muscle plays a crucial role in glucose homeostasis ...
