Are in thick filaments in myofibrils

Sarcomeres

Striations form a repeating pattern of units called

Actin

Are in the thin filaments in a myofibril

Titin

The myosin filaments are also held in place by the zines and are attached to them by a large protein called

Troponin

Have three protein subunits and are attached to actin

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

Within the sarcoplasm of a muscle fiber is a network of membranous channels that surrounds each myofibril and runs parallel to it these channels form the

Tropomyosin

Are rod-shaped and occupy the longitudinal grooves of the actin helix

Transverse tubules

I set of membranous channels extends into the sarcoplasm as invaginations continuous with the sarcolemma and contains extracellular fluid

Cisternae

Each transverse tubale lies between two and largest portions of the sarcoplasmic reticulum called these three structures form a triad near the region where the actin and myosin filaments overlap

Muscle fibers

Cylindrical cells with many nuclei

Cytoplasm

Contains mitochondria sarcoplasmic reticulum and myofibrils of actin and myosin

Troponin tropomyosin

Associate with actin filaments

Transverse tubules

Extend from cell membrane into the cytoplasm and are associated with the cisternae of the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Muscle fiber contraction

Results from sliding movement of actin and myosin filaments overlapping that shortens the muscle fiber

Synapse

Cite of functional connection between neuron and cell

Neurotransmitters

Neurons communicate with the sales that they control by releasing chemicals called at the synapse

Neurotransmitter molecules

If use a very short distance to the sale being controlled where they have a special effect

Motor neurons

Neurons that control effectors including skeletal muscle fibers

Neuromuscular junction

The synapse where motor neuron axon and A skeletal muscle fiber meet

Neuromuscular junction

Here the muscle fiber membrane is specialized to form a motor end plate

Motor end plate

Renault Clio and mitochondria are abundant in the sarcolemma is extensively folded

Synaptic cleft

The small gap that separates the membrane of the neuron and the membrane of the muscle fiber

Acetylcholine ACH

Is the nearest transmitter that motor neurons used to control skeletal muscle contraction

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

In response to stimulation it releases calcium ions

Troponin

Combined with calcium ions causing the tropomyosin to shift and expose active sites on the actin for myosin binding

Cross bridges

Form between myosin and actin and actin filaments move inward shortening the sarcomere

Cross bridge cycling

A myosin head can attach to an actin binding site to form across bridge which pulls on actin filament the myosin head condena release the actin and attache to another Active binding site farther down the actin filament and pull again

Acetylcholinesterase

Rapidly decomposes acetylcholine remaining in the synapse preventing continuous stimulation of a muscle fiber

Atp

Supplies energy for muscle fiber contraction

Creatine phosphate

Stores energy that can be used to synthesize atp as it is decomposed

Anaerobic reactions

Yield few atp molecules

Aerobic reactions

Provide many atp molecules

Hemoglobin

In red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the body cells

Myoglobin

In muscle cells temporarily stores some oxygen

Oxygen debt

Includes the amount of oxygen required to react accumulated lactic acid to form glucose and to restore supplies of atp and creatine phosphate

Threshold stimulus

Is the minimal stimulus needed to elicit a muscular contraction

Twitch

A single, short contraction of a muscle fiber

Myogram

Is a recording of the contraction of an electrically stimulated muscle or muscle fiber

Latent period

Time between stimulus and responding contraction

Partial tetany

At higher frequencies of stimulation, contraction with little time for relaxation is called

Complete (fused) tetanic contraction

Forceful sustained contraction without any relaxation

Recruitment

Multiple motor units summation, as the intensity of stimulation increases recruitment of motor units continues until finally all motor units are activated in that muscle

Motor unit

Motor neuron and muscle fibers

Summation

Increased force of contraction of skeletal muscle fiber when a twitch occurs before the previous twitch relaxes

Motor units

Respond in all or nothing manner

At low intensity stimulation

Relatively few motor neurons contract

Tetanic contractions

Common in everyday activities

Muscle tone

Even when a muscle appears at rest some of its fibers undergo sustained contraction this is called

Isotonic

Type of contraction that occurs when a muscle contracts and its ends are pulled closer together because the muscle shortens it is called a concentric contraction

Eccentric reaction

Another type of isotonic reaction called a lengthening contraction, occurs when divorce a muscle generates is less than that required to move or lift an object has been laying a book down on the table even in such a contraction cross bridges are working but not generating enough force to shorten the muscle

Isometric

Equal length change in force, occur continously in postural muscles that stabilize skeletal parts and hold the body upright pushing against a wall

The speed of contraction

Is related to a muscles specific function

Fast contracting muscles

White muscles have reduced ability to carry on the aerobic reactions of cellular respiration and tend to fatigue rapidly

Slow contracting muscles

Or red muscles can generate atp fast enough to keep up with atp breakdown and can contract for long periods

Smooth muscle cells

Contain filaments of myosin and actin, lack reverse tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticula are not well developed, types include multiunit smooth muscle, and visceral smooth muscle

Visceral smooth muscle

Displays rhythmicity

Multiunit smooth muscle
