Muscle fibers
What two things play important roles in contraction and relaxation of muscles?
Calcium and ATP
What happens when ATP splits to make ADP?
Energy is released.
What aids in muscle relaxation?
Calcium.
Acetylcholine (Ach)
A binding stimulant.
Acetylcholinesterase
Stops stimulant.
Cockblock
Myasthenia Gravis
Muscle weakness - acetylcholine (Ach) cannot effectively bind.
Neuromuscular blockades
Curare (skeletal muscle blocker drug) blocks the receptor sites on the muscle membranes, because the receptor sites are occupied the Ach cannot effectively bind with the receptor sites.
Neurotoxins
Cause excessive firing of neurons, disrupting the normal function of the nervous system.
If a single electrical stimulus is delivered to a muscle fiber, the fiber contracts and then fully relaxes. This single muscle response is called...
