Muscle Metabolism
Muscle MetabolismGoals:Describe three ways in which ATP is regenerated during muscle contraction
Relate the oxygen deficit to causes of muscle fatigue
Muscle Metabolism
Muscle MetabolismThese pathways are:Direct phosphorylation of ADP by creatine phosphate
Anaerobic glycolysisAerobic respiration
Muscle Metabolism Creatine Phosphate
PhosphorylationActive muscles can use all ATP within a few twitches.
Creatine Phosphate is a high energy storage molecule
The transfer of its high energy phosphate to ADP can provide up to 16 seconds of ATP in a muscle.
Creatine phosphate is regenerated during rest.Its money for health food companies.
Muscle Metabolism Creatine Phosphate
Phosphorylation
This pathway is used for very quick bursts of muscle activity, such as sprinting.

Coupled reaction of creatinephosphate (CP) and ADP
Energy source: CP
(a) Direct phosphorylation
Oxygen use: NoneProducts: 1 ATP per CP, creatine
Duration of energy provision:15 seconds
Creatinekinase
ADPCP
Creatine ATP
Muscle MetabolismGlycolysis and Lactic Acid Formation
This pathway generates ATP after the Creatine phosphate system is exhausted.
Actively contracting muscles compress arteries, reducing blood flow and oxygen.
This produces anaerobic conditions which produce lactic acid.

Muscle MetabolismGlycolysis and Lactic Acid Formation
This pathway only produces about 5% as much ATP as aerobic respiration but does it twice as fast.
This pathway extends the ATP supply up to 1 minute of vigorous activity.

Figure 9.20 Comparison of energy sources used during short-duration exercise and prolonged-duration exercise(1 of 2).
Short-duration exercise
ATP stored inmuscles isused first.
ATP is formedfrom creatinephosphateand ADP.
Glycogen stored in muscles is brokendown to glucose, which is oxidized togenerate ATP.
Muscle MetabolismGlycolysis and Lactic Acid FormationThe Big Lie by State Ed Department
The build up of lactic acid leads does NOT lead to muscle soreness following exercise.
It coincides with muscle fatigue.
Muscle MetabolismMuscle Fatigue
Muscle fatigue is the inability to contract even in the presence of stimuli.
Muscle MetabolismMuscle Fatigue
Muscle fatigue is the inability to contract even in the presence of stimuli.
It is NOT due to a lack of ATP. This would lead to contractures. This is seen with writers cramp.
Muscle MetabolismMuscle Fatigue
Ionic disturbances are the most likely cause of muscle fatigue: Potassium ion lost from the muscle cells
Interference of Calcium regulation
Muscle MetabolismAerobic Respiration
This pathway produces 95% of the ATP. This pathway occurs in the mitochondria and requires oxygen.
Muscle MetabolismAerobic Respiration
Muscle MetabolismAerobic Respiration
Muscle glycogen provides the major source of glucose followed by blood glucose and then fats.
It provides the most ATP but is slower because of all the enzymatic steps.

Figure 9.20 Comparison of energy sources used during short-duration exercise and prolonged-duration exercise (2 of 2).
Prolonged-duration exercise
ATP is generated by breakdown of severalnutrient energy fuels by aerobic pathway.This pathway uses oxygen released frommyoglobin or delivered in the blood byhemoglobin. When it ends, the oxygendeficit is paid back.
Muscle MetabolismAerobic Respiration
This pathway is used for long periods of exercise such as cross county and marathon events.

Muscle Fiber TypeMuscle fibers are divided into two types based on their metabolism.1.Slow oxidative fibers (Red Meat)
Aerobic Myoglobin present (Red Color) Large number of mitochondria Low glycogen content Slow rate of fatigue Good for endurance activities
Muscle Fiber TypeMuscle fibers are divided into two types based on their metabolism.
2. Fast Glycolytic FibersAnaerobicMyoglobin content is low (White Color)Glycogen content is highFatigues quicklyFew mitochondriaShort term intense movements
Muscle Fiber Type A third muscle type, the Fast Oxidative Fiber has characteristics of both muscle types. These muscle can convert to the other types based on training.
Adaptation to Exercise Endurance exercising will:Increase the number of capillaries surrounding the muscle fibers (why)Increase the number of mitochondria (why)May convert some of the fast glycolytic fibers to fast oxidative fibers Increase the efficiency of the heart (why)
Adaptation to Exercise Resistance exercising will:Increase the increase the size of the muscle fibersIncrease the amount of connective tissue between the fibersMay convert some of the to fast oxidative fibers to fast glycolytic fibers
Adaptation to Exercise
Adaptation to Exercise Large bulky muscles are due to the increase size of individual muscle fibers (fast glycolytic fibers)
Adaptation to ExerciseWho has the larger heart?
