How it all works…• Action potential causes Ca2+ release from SR
– Ca2+ binds to troponin
• Troponin moves tropomyosin uncovering myosin binding site on actin
• Myosin binds actin– uses ATP to "ratchet" each time– releases, "unratchets" & binds to next actin
• Myosin pulls actin chain along• Sarcomere shortens
– Z discs move closer together
• Whole fiber shortens contraction!• Ca2+ pumps restore Ca2+ to SR relaxation!
– pumps use ATP

Fueling Muscle Contraction • ATP is the immediate
source of energy for muscle contraction. Although a muscle fiber contains only enough ATP to power a few twitches, its ATP "pool" is replenished as needed.
3 sources of high-energy phosphate to keep the ATP pool filled. 1. creatine phosphate 2. glycogen 3. cellular respiration in the mitochondria of the fibers.
Creatine phosphate
• The phosphate group in creatine phosphate is attached by a "high-energy" bond like that in ATP.
• Creatine phosphate + ADP ↔ creatine + ATP
• The pool of creatine phosphate in the fiber is about 10 times larger than that of ATP and thus serves as a modest reservoir of ATP.
2-D cross-sectional view of glycogen. A core protein of glycogenin is surrounded by branches of glucose units. The entire globular granule may contain approximately 30,000 glucose units.[1]
Skeletal muscle fibers contain about 1% glycogen.

That’s not enoughATP for me!
• Breaking down glucose – “glyco – lysis” (splitting sugar)
– ancient pathway which harvests energy• where energy transfer first evolved• transfer energy from organic molecules to ATP• still is starting point for ALL cellular respiration
– but it’s inefficient • generate only 2 ATP for every 1 glucose
– occurs in cytosol

Why does hurt after you’ve worked out? There are a couple of theories, although scientists still aren't exactly sure of what causes Delayed
Onset Soreness (DOMS), which is the soreness you feel a few hours to even a day or two after you workout.
1. when you work your muscles beyond what they are used to, you create microscopic tears in the muscle tissue. The more work you perform, the more tears you create. Also, when you perform exercises where you emphasize the eccentric contraction (basically resisting the weight as it's lowered), these tears are increased.
This is okay, because your body will repair this damage and your muscles will actually become stronger because of it. However, it can be uncomfortable for some people -- especially if you aren't well-conditioned.
2. There is also a theory that waste products -- particularly lactic acid -- that are created during exercise build up in the muscle and cause pain until the lactic acid has been purged by the body. This theory, however is under fire because the body typically flushes lactic acid fairly quickly. Lactic acid build-up is actually responsible for the "burn" you feel in your muscle when you work it (especially at high reps), versus the muscle tenderness of DOMS.

How do we get glucose fast?
Energy accounting of glycolysis
• Net gain = 2 ATP + 2 NADH– some energy investment (-2 ATP)– small energy return (4 ATP + 2 NADH)
• 1 6C sugar 2 3C sugars

Glycolysis: summary
1. Glycogen enters glycogenolysis producing glucose fast
2. Yields 2 ATP for each pair of lactic acid molecules produced
3. Not much, but enough to keep the muscle functioning if it fails to receive sufficient oxygen to meet its ATP needs by respiration.
4. However, this source is limited and eventually the muscle must depend on cellular respiration.
Cellular respiration is required for• to meet the ATP needs of a muscle engaged in
prolonged activity (thus causing more rapid and deeper breathing)
•
• afterwards to enable the body to resynthesize glycogen from the lactic acid produced earlier (deep breathing continues for a time after exercise is stopped).
• The body must repay its oxygen debt.

Cellular respiration

~40 ATP
It takes more time to produce ATP through respiration
: glucose has to split in the cytosol and then get into the mitochondria
Go through kreb’s cycle and then through etc
Finally make 34 ATP if Oxygen is present
So why is respiration the last method muscles use to get the energy they need if it has the biggest gain?

RESULTS
Type I vs. Type II Fibers
Type 1 : slow twitchType 2: fast twitch
Reality we are comprised of both
• rich in myoglobin (red in color= the "dark" meat of the turkey)
• activated by small-diameter, thus slow-conducting, motor neurons
• dominant in muscles used in activities requiring endurance (leg muscles) and those that depend on tonus, e.g., those responsible for posture
1. loaded with mitochondria and 2. depend on cellular respiration for ATP production 3. fatty acids the major energy source 4. resistant to fatigue
Type I Fibers also known as "slow-twitch" fibers
Unlike hemoglobin, Mb does not exhibit cooperative binding of oxygen, since positive cooperativity is a property of multimeric/oligomeric proteins only
Instead, the binding of oxygen by myoglobin is unaffected by the oxygen pressure in the surrounding tissue. Myoglobin is often cited as having an "instant binding tenacity" to oxygen given its hyperbolic oxygen dissociation curve.
High concentrations of myoglobin in muscle cells allow organisms to hold their breaths longer.
Myoglobin
is the primary oxygen-carrying pigment of muscle tissues.
SO WHY DO MUSCLES NEED Mb WHEN THEY HAVE Hb?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoglobin
When meat is cooked, some of the proteins in it denature and become opaque, turning red meat pink. At 60 degrees C, the myoglobin itself denatures and
becomes tan-coloured, giving well done meat a brownish-grey colour. Freezing for long periods of time
can also denature the myoglobin.Finally, curing meat can cause other molecules to bond to myoglobin. Nitrite, used in cured meats like ham and bacon, reacts to form nitric oxide. Myoglobin bonded to nitric oxide is pink in colour. Smoking or barbequeing
meat can also turn it pink‚ nitric oxide (named Molecule of the Year in 1992) is the culprit again. This is the
characteristic smoke ring‚ of smoked and barbequed meats that is prized by barbeque aficionados.
Most of raw meat's colour comes from a pigment called myoglobin, which is related to hemoglobin and binds oxygen to transport it around the cell. Myoglobin, like hemoglobin, contains a heme group (pictured above) which contains a central iron atom, usually in the +2 oxidation state. The colour of myoglobin is determined by whatever the iron atom is bonded to: if it's bonded to an O2 molecule, the myoglobin is bright red, whereas in the absense of oxygen it bonds to water and is a purple colour. If the iron atom becomes oxidized, or loses an electron, the myoglobin turns brown. This can happen after a prolonged time without access to oxygen, or in an acidic environment.
Type IIb Fibers
• few mitochondria • rich in glycogen and • depend on creatine phosphate and glycolysis for ATP
production • fatigue easily with the production of lactic acid • low in myoglobin hence whitish in color (the white meat
of the turkey) • activated by large-diameter, thus fast-conducting, motor
neurons • also known as "fast-twitch" fibers • dominant in muscles used for rapid movement, e.g.,
those moving the eyeballs.
Fast twitch & slow twitch muscles
• Slow twitch muscle fibers– contract slowly, but keep going for a long
time• more mitochondria for aerobic respiration • less SR Ca2+ remains in cytosol longer
– long distance runner– “dark” meat = more blood vessels
• Fast twitch muscle fibers– contract quickly, but get tired rapidly
• store more glycogen for anaerobic respiration – sprinter– “white” meat
Muscle limits• Muscle fatigue
– lack of sugar• lack of ATP to restore Ca2+ gradient
– low O2• lactic acid drops pH which
interferes with protein function– synaptic fatigue (failure of nerve impulse)
• loss of acetylcholine
• Muscle cramps– build up of lactic acid – ATP depletion– ion imbalance
• massage or stretching increases circulation
Recovery: oxygen consumption after exerciseIncreased breathing rate – enhanced O2 delivery
• “oxygen debt”: add O2 over and above O2 consumed when resting
• 1. be able to convert lactic acid back to glycogen (liver) • 2. resynthesize Cp and ATP• 3. replace O2 removed from Mb
Use O21. Increased body temp = inc. chem rate of reaction = inc.
