Actin
Tropomyosin Troponin |
|
Actin
|
-two strings that are strung together and are twisted (helix)
i. contains a myosin-binding site |
|
Tropomyosin
|
-arranged in loosely attached strands to the actin helix
-covers the myosin-binding site |
|
Troponin
|
-bound to tropomyosin (troponin-tropomyosin complex)
-has Ca+2-binding sites |
|
Thick myofilaments
|
-handles arrange themselves in parellel groups and heads projecting away from M line
-heads contain actin-binding site and an ATP binding site |
|
Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ)
|
Motor end plate
Process |
|
Motor end plate of NMJ
|
-region of the sarcolemma that receives the end plate (comes in contact with end bulb)
-will receive Ach in receptors (are also a Na+ channel) |
|
Process of NMJ
|
Ach is released-->diffuses across the synaptic cleft-->binds to Ach receptors-->Na+ channels open-->Na+ rushes in -->change in membrane potential (voltage) inside m. cell-->m. action potential (MAP) forms-->moves across sarcolemma
((Cell is Depolarizing)) |
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 1 |
MAP moves across sarcolemma and down into t-tubules from t-tubules-->into SR
|
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 2 |
Ca+2 moves out of SR into the sarcoplasm
|
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 3 |
Ca+2 binds to troponin and a change occurs in the shape of the troponin-tropomyosin complex (myosin-binding sites now available)-contraction cycle begins
|
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 4 |
Previously, ATP attached to the myosin head, which acts as an ATP enzyme (ATPase) and splits ATP into ADP+P AND energy-->this energy activates the actin-binding site and is stored in the myosin
|
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 5 |
Myosin binds to actin. Now called a cross-bridge
|
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 6 |
ADP+P are released from cross-bridge-->myosin changes shape and pulls on actin
i. cross-bridge moves toward m-line ii. thin filament both i & ii=Power Stroke |
|
Power Stroke
|
thin filaments slide over thick
(flexion of head) |
|
Physiology of Contraction
**Step 7** |
After power stroke, ATP binds to cross-bridge-->detaches from actin
|
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 8 |
ATP is split (same as step #4)
|
|
Physiology of Contraction
Step 9 |
During a cycle:
a.) shorter: H+I zone (band) b.) stay same: A band |
|
End result of Contraction
|
Is movement
|
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 1 |
Ach is rapidly destroyed by acetyl cholinesterase (AchE) at the synapse, therefore MAP stops
|
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 2 |
Ca+2 are actively transported back into ST by Ca+2 active transport pumps
(Ca+2 binding is concentration dependent) |
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 3 |
Calsequestrin in SR acts like a Ca+2 sponge
|
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 4 |
ATP binds to cross bridge and...
|
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 5 |
With Ca+2 removed, the troponin-tropomyosin complex slides back over myosin-binding sites of thin filaments, therefore myosin cannot bind
|
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 6 |
thin filaments slide back to "resting" (relaxation) pos.
|
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 7 In a relaxed state- |
-Ca+2 is stored in SR
-Myosin head is activated (but NOT bound to actin) -Thin filament inactivated-->myosin-binding sites are covered by troponin-tropomyosin complex |
|
Muscle Relaxation
Step 8 After Death |
ATP production stops and Ca+2 leaks out of SR and myosin heads bind to actin. Cross-bridge remains formed-->no movement-->rigid=rigor mortis (about 3-24 hours)
|
|
Sources of ATP
|
ATP already present in sacroplasm (used up in milliseconds)

Glycogen-->Glucose-->2 Pyruvic acid + ATP |
|
Pyruvic Acid
Areobic |

(produces much more energy) (prolonged activity) |
|
Pyruvic Acid
Anareobic |
Lactic Acid
(about 80% diffuse in blood-->liver converts it to glucose) (remainder LA builds up in muscle) |
|
Fatigue
|
-waste produces build up (LA)
-depletion of ATP, O2, creatine phosphate, glycogen Both lead to inability of contraction (inhibits cross-bridge formation) |
|
Recovery
|
after exercise the body delivers nutrients to fatigued tissues; also LA-->PA

|
|

|
m. fiber will contract completely or not at all
|
|
Myogram
|
any motion on the chart
*chart in notes |
|
Latent Period
|
-delay b/w stimulus and beginning of contraction
-probably due to time it takes Ca+2 to be released from SR and to bind to troponin |
|
Relaxation
|
actin transport of Ca+2 back into SR-->thin filaments slide out
|
|
Refractory period
|
Shortly after the m. receives a stimulus it is NOT capable of responding to another stimulus, therefore NO contraction can occur
|
|
Frequency of stimulation
|
1.)Treppe
2.)Wave Summation 3.)Incomplete Tetanus 4.)Complete Tetanus 5.)Ca+2 release 6.)Fatigue |
|
1.) Treppe
|
a.)if several stimuli are applied slowly and relaxation is allowed b/w each, the contraction becomes greater over the first few times-->then maximal contraction (stairstep phenomenon)
b.)This is a "warm-up" phase of m. in order to achieve maximal contraction. Probably due to increased Ca+2 availability and enzyme activity with each contraction |
|
2.) Wave Summation
|
If a second stimulus is applied after refractory period, but before complete relaxation, the second contraction will be stronger than the first
|
|
3.) Incomplete Tetanus
|
If multiple stimulus is applied faster, the m. only partially relaxes b/w stimuli; the m. maintains a partial, sustained contraction (unfused tetanus)
|
|
4.) Complete Tetanus
|
If stimuli are even faster, a sustained contraction occurs without any relaxation (fused tetanus)
|
|
5.)
|
Caused by release of more Ca+2 with each stimulus
|
|
6.)
|
Can be followed by fatigue
|
|
Motor Unit Recruitment + Tone
|
1.) When more motor units are needed for a motion, they are recruited--produces stronger, larger movements
2.) At any one time during contraction, some motor units are stimulated and some are not. They "take turns." Important in postural mm. 3.) Even when there's no movement, mm. remain somewhat "firm"-muslce tone -prevent fatigue |
|
Isotonic vs. Isometric contractions
|
Isotonic
a.) concentric b.) eccentric Isometric |
|
Isotonic
|
a.) concentric-m. shortens and pulls
-angle of j. decreases b.) eccentric-m. lengthens but still contracts -angle of j. increases |
|
Isometric
|
tension increases greatly in m. but little or no movement
a.) stretch=contraction b.) important for postural mm. and stabelizing jj. |
|
Hypertrophy
|
-increases in diameter of m. fibers due to production of more myofibrils, mitochondria, SR, etc.
1.) Caused by more forceful and/or repetitive contractions 2.) Mm. can undergo more forceful contractions 3.) Some believe the # of fibers does not change since birth. Others believe there is a limited ability for regeneration 4.) Testosterone stimulates m. cell growth |
|
Atrophy
|
wasting away from mm.
1.) fibers and size due to progressive loss of myofibrils, etc 2.) Disuse Atrophy 3.) Dennervation Atrophy |
|
Disuse Atrophy
|
-common in bedridden individuals, people in casts
-#of m. impulses to mm. decrease dramatically |
|
Dennervation Atrophy
|
when a nerve is cut, the mm. lose stimulation, therefore undergo complete atrophy, shrink, and are replaced by fibrous C.T. (permenant) (~6-48 months)
|

|
|
Treatments
|
-immunosuppressants

|
Erythropoietin (EPO)
|
hormone produced by kidneys
-stimulates RBC production (as does androgens) -"blood doping" -increase viscocity can cause heart to pump harder -if He+ or Hb is low=Anemia. Tissues become hypoxia:weakness, lethargy, and mental confusion |

|
|
Platelet Phase
|
-platelet plug formation
1.) damaged endothelial cells secrete anti-coagulants that inhibit platelet aggregation -homeostasis |
|
Coagulation Phase
|
many different clotting factors exist in plasma AND produced by damaged cells-some are proteins and calcium
3 Pathways Extrinsic, Intrinsic, and Common Pathways |
|
Extrinsic Pathway
|
-begins outside blood stream. *Shorter and faster*
-one clotting factor released by damaged cells combines with Ca+2 in a cascade leading to activation of factor X(ten) |
|
Intrinsic Pathway
|
-begins inside blood stream. *Slower but longer-lasting*
-platelets release other clotting factors-->cascade-->activation of factor X(ten) |
|
Common Pathway
|
--Factor X is activated to form enzyme prothrombinase
--Fibrin (final product)-intertwines to help form platelet plug |
|
General Info
|
--Both pathways respond
--the common pathway stimulates both other pathways (positive feedback)-->stop blood flow --All three require Ca+2 --Vit. K-necessary for liver to produce some clotting factors --Aspirin inhibits vasoconstriction and platelet aggregation |
|
Vit. K

|
The Conducting System
|
1-6
|
|
1.)Autorhythmicity
Heartbeat |
-without neural stimulation
|
|
2.)
Heartbeat |
SA node-->conducting cells-->AV node-->AV bundle (bundle of His)-->bundle branches-->apex
|
|
3.)
Heartbeat |
SA + AV nodal cells cannot maintain a stable resting potential. After repolarization, their MP gradually depolarizes toward threshold-prepotential-->leads to AP
|
|
4.)
Heartbeat |
Since the SA node reaches threshold first (before other heart cells), so it establishes the heart rate="pacemaker"
|
|
5.)
Heartbeat |
The contraction follows the electrical stimulus, therefore atria contract first, then ventricles
|
|
6.)
Heartbeat |
Caffeine increases rate of depolarization of SA node
|
|
The Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
|
1.)The electrical events in heart are strong enough to be detected on surface of body-->EKG or ECG
2.)Waves: P, QRS complex, T 3.) If cardiac cells are damaged/dead, they cannot conduct an AP 4.)Excessively large QRS complex-->can indicate ventricular hypertrophy 5.)Smaller waves-->can indicate death of some cardiac tissue 6.)P-R interval 7.)S-T interval |
|
P wave
|
depolarization of atria
|
|
QRS complex wave
|
depolarization of ventricles (+ repolarization of atria)
|
|
T wave
|
ventricular repolarization
|
|
6.)P-R interval
|
impulse begins and moves from atria to ventricles; if conduction pathway to AV node is damaged (or node itslef)-lengthens
|
|
7.)S-T interval
|
time b/w end of ventricular depolarization and repolarization; if cells are dead, this shortens and indicates an M.I.
|
|
The Cardiac Action Potential
(compared to skeletal) |
1.)Depolarization is similar
2.)At top of peak: 3.) Repolarization 4.)Refractory period |
|
2.) At top of peak:
|
a.)Na+ channels close
b.)Voltage-regulated Ca+2 channels open-->Ca+3 enters sarcoplasm from outside (and then from SR) -these close slowly c.)Na+ is being pumped out (Na+-K+ pumps) --PLATEAU forms and so m. fiber stays contracted a, b, + c--Little net change in charge/voltage inside the cell |
|
3.) Repolarization-
|
"slow K+ channels" open to allow K+ to flow out of the cell
|
|
4.) Refractory period
|
is much longer to prevent summation and tetanus (+fatigue)
|
|
Cardiac Cycle
|
events from beginning to end of 1 beat
|
|
Phases
|
atrial systole
atrial diastole + ventricular systole ventricular diastole |
|
Atrial systole
|
atria "top off" filing of ventricle's
|
|
Atrial diastole + ventricular systole
|
i. V's contract, P increases and pushes AV valves closed (not enough P to open semilunar valves yet)
ii. Isovolumetric contraction-V's continue to build P-*All 4 valves closed iii.P increases until semilunar valves open-->blood ejected iv.atria fill at same time |
|
Ventricular diastole
|
i. as V's relax, P decreases; when it is lower then P in aorta (+pulmonary trunk), blood tries to re-enter V's and semilunar valves close
ii. P continues to decrease-isovolumetric relaxation-*All 4 valves closed iii. when P is lower than atrial P-->AV valves open-->blood moves into V's passively |
|
Volumes
|
a.) End-Diastolic Volume (EDV)-~130ml
b.)End-Systolic Volume (ESV)- (amt. of blood left after contraction) ~50ml Avg ~70-80ml (amt forced out in each cycle) c.)Stroke Volume=~70-80ml i. SV=EDV-ESV *ii. This is the amount delivered to peripheral tissues d.)CO=HR x SV CO=HR x (EDV-ESV) CO=liters/min everything else is ml 1L=100ml |
