Document Summary
Chapter 1 essentials of strength training and conditioning (4th edition) Describe the following: muscle and bone macrostructure and microstructure, sliding-filament theory of muscle contraction, neural control of skeletal muscle, characteristics of different muscle fiber types. Sutures of the skull: cartilaginous: limited movement (ex. Elbow, knee: vertebral column, cervical: 7, thoracic: 12, lumbar: 5, sacral: 5, coccygeal: 3-5. General facts about skeletal muscle (slide 7: _35_ of total body weight, _70__ water, produce movement, maintain posture, stabilize joints, generate heat, store energy. Each skeletal muscle is an organ that contains muscle tissue, connective tissue, nerves, and blood vessels. Fibrous connective tissue, or epimysium, covers the body"s more than. What is macrostructure: epimysium: the outer layer, perimysium: surrounding each fasciculus, or group of fibers, endomysium: surrounding individual fibers. Muscle macrostructure (slide 11: muscle fibers = muscle cells multinucleated, contain myofibrils (actin & myosin, sarcolemma, sarcoplasm, terminal cisternae, mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, t-tubule. Sectional view of a muscle fiber (slide 12)
