It is likely to be higher for the motor units of the gastrocnemius than for the motor units of the occular muscles
This principle first described by Elwood Henneman defines the recruitment order of motor units.
What is the -motorneuron and the muscle fibers it innervates?
These types of runners recruit more motor units at one time.
Motor units recruited last generate more of this, but take longer to do this.
This is the most immediate source of high energy phosphate for ATP synthesis.
ATP is required for this important step in fatty acid metabolism
This reaction results in the regeneration of the essential co-factor, NAD, during anaerobic glycolysis.
What is the reduction of pyruvate to lactate catalyzed by lactate dehydrogenase?
These are the primary macronutrients used during a 400 meter dash.
These are the two most important pathways in preserving muscle glycogen and maintaining blood glucose at the end of a marathon.
The work rate that a marathon runner should compete at for the first 20 miles is just below this metabolic marker.
What is the Anaerobic Threshold or the Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation?
Marathon runners “carbo load” to sustain this valuable energy source
These send nerve impulses to muscle spindles in parallel with impulses from -motoneurons.
These sensors send afferent signals that inhibit -motoneurons, protecting muscle from injury due to excessive muscle tension.
These cells secrete myelin which accelerate transmission of the action potential down the nerve axon.
These receptors provide feedback to the -motoneuron that participate in control of muscle stretch.
The sum of EPSP and IPSP from central and afferent signals must reach activation threshold at this -motoneuron site to cause an action potential.
An increase in this causes an increase in the rate and a change in the fate of muscle glucose uptake
This AMP-stimulated enzyme has been postulated to be a key regulator of glucose uptake during exercise.
These three serial physiological processes are required for muscle glucose uptake.
What are (1) extracellular glucose delivery, (2) membrane glucose transport, and (3) intramyocellular glucose phosphorylation to muscle?
Muscle glucose uptake in the fasted subject can cause hypoglycemia if it exceeds the sum of these pathways.
This member of the Department’s Circle of Distinguished Alumni first described this mechanism for glucose transport across the membrane, such as occurs during muscle contraction
