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) |

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?

|
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
|
|

|
lack of ATP that needs to pump calci back in SR
muscle remains partically contracted :( ouch. |
