Study Notes
Energy Sources of Muscles
- Muscles need energy to produce contractions, which is derived from ATP.
- ATP is present in limited quantities in muscles and needs to be resynthesized from other sources when depleted.
Sources of ATP
- Creatine phosphate (CP)
- Muscle glycogen
- Lipids (free fatty acids)
- ATP supplies energy for muscle contraction and active-transport Ca++ pumps in the SR.
Mechanisms of ATP Regeneration
- Creatine phosphate metabolism (Phosphagen System)
- Anaerobic glycolysis (Glycogen-lactic acid system)
- Aerobic respiration
Creatine Phosphate
- A molecule that stores energy in its phosphate bonds, lasting 120 seconds and beyond.
- Uses glucose, glycogen, fats, and proteins to make ATP.
- By-products are carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O).
- Free fatty acids in mitochondria of muscle fibers are transformed into acetyl CoA, used in ATP resynthesis.
Oxygen Debt
- Muscle tissue has two sources of oxygen: oxygen that diffuses into muscle fibers from the blood and oxygen released by myoglobin within muscle fibers.
- Oxygen debt is the amount of additional oxygen required following exercise to restore pre-exercise conditions.
- Additional oxygen is required to replace oxygen on hemoglobin and myoglobin, replenish glycogen, ATP, and creatine phosphate, and convert lactic acid back to glucose (in the liver).
Effects of Exercise on Muscle
- Benefits of aerobic exercise include stronger, more flexible muscles, greater resistance to fatigue, improved aerobic respiration efficiency, and overall body metabolism.
- Aerobic exercise also enhances neuromuscular coordination, heart pumping ability, and lung gas exchange efficiency.
Aerobic Respiration
- Occurs in mitochondria, requires oxygen, and is the primary source of energy for exercise lasting longer than 10 minutes.
- Pyruvate is oxidized to carbon dioxide, and energy is used to generate ATP by oxidative phosphorylation.
- 38 net ATP are produced for each glucose molecule.
- Triglycerides are also used for aerobic respiration and are the preferential fuel molecules for most skeletal muscle.
