Muscle Hierarchy
Skeletal Muscle (organ)
Muscle Fascicle (bundle of cells)

skeletal muscle are controlled by nerves in CNS (brain/spincord)
Where are some places you can find aponeurosis?
palm of hands, sole of feet, lumbar region
How do you get movement from a contraction? what are the steps
Contract a Muscle
Muscle gets shorter
pulls on tendon
which yanks the bone
BAM! Movement ;)
What controls skeletal muscles?
Nerves
Nerve Fibers or the length of the nerve is called?
axons
What do Axons penetrate?
thru the EPI, PERI all the way to the ENDO
How do nerves travel to muscle?
What are the steps & what is this called?
From brain
skeletal muscle
into muscle
Called INNERVATION :P
What is Innervation?
when nerves go into muscle
T/F
Muscle is very well innervated
TRUEEEE!
Why do muscles need nerve supplies in them?
to get the signal nerves are sending them.
ENDO & PERI have blood vessels & what else? what is supplying the muscle fibers?
& nerves!
Why does contraction need energy?
'Cause they're constantly moving
what 3 things do blood vessels provide?
1. oxygen
2. nutrients
3. carry waste away
how do muscle fibers develop?
Thru fusion of mesodermal cells called myoblasts
T/F
1 muscle cell is has mult. nuclei
TRUUUUU
what are the steps?

From myoblasts to ?
from myoblasts -> Develop immature muscle fibers -> devel. Into mature mus.fibers
-Sacros=
-Lemma=
Sacro-=flesh
Lemma=husk (like corn)
Sacrolemma=
cell membrane of muscle fiber & surrounds sacroplasm
what is sacroPLASM
basically the cytoplasm of the muscle cell & sacrolemma surrounds it
What causes the Contraction to take place?
Transmembrane potential
what is transmembrane potential?
on opposite sides of membrane (in/outside) There is unequal distribution of +/- ions.
inside has diff charge than outside & has potential to do something- if pos rush in it will change cell. if neg rush out, it will change cell.
Why are skeletal muscle fibers large?
because the region of cell all have to act simultaneously to contract
Where is calcium stored?
terminal cisternae
how is the Triad formed?
1 T-tube + 2 terminal cristernae
where does calcium concentrate self?
Triad by ion pump
T/F

Calcium cant fluctuate 10% or NS reacts

Without calcium we die. Muscles (heart) wouldn’t work
TRUEEEEEEEE
How does triad start muscle contraction?
Triad releases calcium into sacromeres to start muscle contraction

(((((reason we need calcium)))))
where is Calcium released?
over the zone of overlap
who uses calcium to cause contraction? how does it happen?
Thick & thin keep coming together after calcium release & lock into each other.
cause contraction (& shorten


process happens million times over in just 1 muscle fiber)
What is a scaromere?
z line to z line
*Contractile units of muscle
*Form striated patterns within myofibril
What are M lines?
Midline of sacromere & middle of A Bands;;;
what is a Z-Line?
At the 2 ends of sacromere; (keep organized in place)

* and Center of L Bands;;;
what is H-band?
Area around M-line
*Has thick filaments but not thin**
what is a Titan?

what is the function?
strands of protein (slinky, coil)
Reach from tips of thick filaments to the Z-line

Stabilize filaments
Sacromere function
t-tubes encircle t sacromeres around zone of overlap >> calcium released by SR causes thin/thick cells to interact
thin/thick interact & cause ______-
contraction
T/F

Structures of protein mol. determine interactions
TRUEEEEEEEEEEE
4 types of protein in Thin Filament
1. F-Actin
2. Nebulin
3. Tropmyosin
4. Troponin
What is F-Actin? aka Filamentous actin
2 twisted rows of globular G-actin (protein)

-Active sites on G-actin strands bind to myosin
What is Nebulin?
Holds F-actin strands together
What is Tropmyosin?
Double strand
Prevents actin–myosin interaction
What is Troponin?
Globular protein
 Binds tropomyosin to G-actin
 Controlled by Ca2+
what do the myosin heads do during contraction?
Interact with actin filaments,
forming cross-bridges

 Pivot, producing motion (mouse trap)
Sliding filament theory
**Thin fil. of sarcomere slide toward M line,alongside thick fil.
***width of A band stays same
*** Z lines move closer together
**H/L bands get smaller
Neural stimulation of sarcolemma does what during contraction?
causes excitation & coupling
what happens after excitation?
Cisternae of SR release Ca2+:
 Which triggers interaction of thick and thin filaments
 Consuming ATP and producing tension
What is a Neuromuscular Junction?
location of neural stimulation

carries AP
what is AP & where does it stop?
travels along axon of nerve & stops at synaptic terminal
How does synaptic Terminal end the AP from traveling? (neurotransmitter)
releases ACh aka acetylcholine
into the synapatic clef
Where is the synaptic cleft??
gap between synaptic terminal
& motor end plate
During mus. Contraction, wha thappens to the Zone of Overlap?

what happens to overall size of muscle?
zone of overlap gets bigger

overall muscle gets smaller (cuz contraction)
where does innervation take place?
at the neuromuscular junction
binding of ACh to receptors increases cell permeability to _____
Sodium ions, which rush into the cell
where does ATP come from?
Mitochrondria
AP formed by increase sodium ions in sarcolemma.

 Travels along the T tubules
 Leads to excitation–contraction coupling…
AP formed by increase sodium ions in sarcolemma.

 Travels along the T tubules
 Leads to excitation–contraction coupling…
what happens during Excitation–contraction coupling?
AP reach triad-->releas calci > trigger contract
T/F

Excitation Requires myosin heads to be in “cocked” position & loaded with ATP
TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEE
** 5 steps of contraction Cycle
1. Exposure of active sites
2. Formation of cross-bridges
3. Pivoting of myosin heads
4. Detachment of cross-bridges
5. Reactivation of myosin
As sarcomeres shorten, muscle pulls together, producing _______
tension
T/F

Duration of Contract depends on:
1. Duration of neural stimulus
2. # free Ca2+ ions in sarcoplasm
 3. Availability of ATP
TRUEEEEEEEEEE
AChE breaks down AcH at synapse & stops the impulse, cross bridges break, tropmyosin moves back in place

What does this result in for the muscle?
it relaxes
what causes muscle cramps?
lack of ATP that needs to pump calci back in SR

muscle remains partically contracted :( ouch.
 Rigor mortis:
calci builds up in SR
prevents relaxation
cause movement after death
x___x
T/F
Relaxation and return to resting length are passive
TRUEEEEEEE

Free Ca2+ in the sarcoplasm triggers contraction
TRUEEEEEEEEEEE
T/F
 Skeletal muscle fibers shorten as thin filaments slide
between thick filaments
TRUEEEEEEEEEEEE
