covers whole muscle and blends into connective tissue sheets between muscles
properties of collagen?


extensible and elastic allowing it to stretch slightly and recoil backprotecting muscle from injury and returning it back to its normal length
slide title: origin of skeletal muscle striation
s
Elastic filaments contain
springy proteins called titin

anchor each thick filament to Z disc


prevents overstretching of sarcomere

How do muscle cells shorten?
There sarcomeres shorten, pulling z-discs closer together
neither thick nor thin filaments change length during shortening

there are 20 muscle fibers per nerve fiber



ex. eye muscles

for strength contorl
there are 100 muscle fibers per nerve fiber

Molecular basis of contraction steps:
Molecular basis of contraction steps:




1.) Ca2+ levels increase in cytosol

2.) Ca2+ binds to troponin


3.) Troponin-Ca2+ complex pulls tropomyosin away from actin's myosin-binding site


4.) Myosin binds to actin and completes powerstroke


5.) Actin filament moves



pic
synapse
connection between nerve fiber and target cell
synapse is also called neuromuscular junction, why?
this is when there is a connection between a nerve fiber and a muscle cell


Which neurotransmitter is released from the nerve fiber? What does it do?
acetylcholine/ACh. Stimulate muscle cell


synaptic knob
swollen end of nerve fiber that contains ACh


synaptic cleft
area between nerve cell and muscle cell
what do junctional folds of sarcolemma do?
increase surface area for ACh receptors, they contain acetylcholinesterase that breaks down ACh and causes relaxation

neuromuscular junction
What kind of proteins are myosin and actin?
contractile proteins


Tropomyosin and troponin are what kind of proteins
regulatory proteins


tropomyosin and troponin are like a switch that starts and ends shortening of muscle cell.


-contraction activated by release of calcium into sarcoplasm and it binds to troponin


-binding of calcium to troponin causes tropomyosin to move off the actin active sites


-myosin head then binds

Na+ out of cell and K+ and other anions inside of cell


What is the difference in charge across the membrane potential referred to as? and what value?
resting membrane potential

-90 mV

What opens ion gates in membrane? What happens?
Stimulation, Depolarization, Na+ rushes in , K+ rushes out


What is an action potential?
Quick up and down voltage shift, which spreads over cell surface as nerve signal
What are the actions involved in muscle contraction and relaxtion?
excitation= nerve action potentials leads to action potentials in muscle fiber

excitation-contraction coupling= action potentials on sarcolemma activate myofilaments


contraction=shortening of muscle fibers


relaxtion=return to rest length

rest of steps in above is in slides

rigor mortis is?
when a tricep muscle relaxes the bicep muscle contracts(antagonistic muscle groups; arm flexion)
when a tricep muscle contracts, the bicep muscle relaxes(antagonistic muscle groups; arm extension)
What is the tension-length relationship
the amount of tension generated depends on length of muscle before it was stimulated
What happens in overly contracted muscles?
thick filaments get too close to z-discs and cant slide


What happens in too stretched muscles?
thick and thin filaments don't overlap enough and not many cross bridges form




What is optimum resting length?
the length that produces the most tension when contracted






muscle twitch,

what is threshhold?

the voltage at which an action potential is produced
What is a muscle twitch?
produces a quick contraction and relaxtion lasting less than 1/10th of a second
Are muscle twitches useful?
No, the contraction isn't strong enough to do any useful work(not enough Ca2+)


What produces twitches?
Threshhold stimuli


Is the statement muscle fiber obeys an all or non law, contracting to its maximum or not at all true?
No, because muscle twitches vary in strength depending on Ca2+ concentration, temperature, pH and hydration


How do we get stronger contractions?
stimulate the nerve with stronger voltages

-more motor units are being recruited and this is called motor unit summation


ex.lifting a glass of milk vs lifting a gallon of milk



What happens to muscle twitch at low frequency?
each stimulus produces an identitical twitch response in tension


What happens to muscle twitch at moderate frequency?(called treppe )
each preceding twitch produces a stronger twitch response in tension, this is because calcium was not completely put back into the sarcoplasmic reticulumn
What happens to muscle twitch at high frequency?
generates gradually more strong contraction, stimuli arrives before last one recover

called incomplete tetanus

What happens to maximum frequency stimulation?


muscle has no time to relax at all

twitches fuse into smooth prolonged contraction called complete tetanus



What is isometric muscle contraction?
develops tension without changing length

tension on muscle without changing length

What is isotonic muscle contraction?



tension on muscle but changes length

develops tension while shortening = concentric

develops tension while lengthening= ecentric



What do muscles need in order to contract?
muscles need ATP in order to contract


What are some ways muscle can produce ATP?
Anaerobic fermentation and aerobic respiration


What is anaerobic fermentation?
