Muscle Anatomy

• Muscle Anatomy
• Skeletal Anatomy
• Know your muscle fibers and the types of activities
• How does the muscle contract- what is the name of the theory
• What is a muscle fiber made up of (protein filaments)
• Characteristics of muscle fibers
• Types of muscle contraction
• Directional terms
• Heart anatomy and blood flow (primarily how blood flows)
• What is Cardiac Output, how it is abbreviated
• What is Stroke Volume, how is it regulated (general concept as discussed in class- stretch)
• Amount of blood actually ejected into the body during systole (percent or fraction)
• Blood pressure responses during exercise
• Respiratory changes during exercise, what are the muscle involved
• How do you determine ventilation
• Differences in systole and diastole
• Changes to hematocrit to increase or decrease O2 carrying capacity
• Ventilatory threshold
• Heart rate max equation
• Cardiac output equation
