35
Q

What branch of the spinal cord allows for vonuntary control to the skeletal muscles

A

anterior horn

36
Q

what does the number of muscle fibers being innervated by each nerve brach determine

A

the rate of muscular fatigue and fine motor movements

37
Q

what determines the rate of muscular fatigue and fine motor movements

A

the number of muscle fibers being innervated by each nerve branch

38
Q

what do sarcomeres contain

A

actin and myosin

39
Q

what is the functional, contractile protein of the muscle fibers

A

myofibrils

40
Q

what runs parallel to the myofibril

A

sarcomere

41
Q

what separates the sarcomeres

A

Z disc/Zline

42
Q

what is within the A band

A

thick myosin filaments

43
Q

what is within the I band

A

thin actin filaments

44
Q

what protein helps to have the muscle spring back from contraction

A

Titin

45
Q

where is titin located

A

Z line

46
Q

what makes up the thick filament

A

myosin and myosin head

47
Q

what band do myosin create

A

A band

48
Q

what does myosin utilizing ATP cause

A

contraction and develops tension

49
Q

What makes up the thin filament

A

actin
tropomyosin
Troponin

50
Q

what do actin create

A

the I band

51
Q

what does actin interact with

A

myosin heads

52
Q

what is the regulatory protein that helps with actin-myosin activation

A

troponin and tropomyosin

53
Q

what does tropomyosin help wiht

A

structural support and maintains the filament length as well as helps with actin-myosin activation

54
Q

what does tropomyosin bind to

A

troponin to form complex

55
Q

where does calcium bind

A

troponin

56
Q

what happens when calcium binds to troponin

A

transform the protein complex and open the binding site

57
Q

what causes the binding sites to open on actin

A

the binding of calcium to troponin

58
Q

what is the M band

A

creatinine kinase

59
Q

what band does creatinine kinase make

A

M band

60
Q

what are the steps in contraction

A

excitation
coupling
contraction
relaxation

61
Q

what is the resting cellular charge

A

-90mV

62
Q

what maintains the resting cellular charge

A

sarcolemma

63
Q

what happens when an action potential reaches the sarcolemmal membrane

A

trigger action potential will release caclium

64
Q

what happens during the coupling stage

A

calcium goes to the myofilament
the troponin and tropmyosin release actin

65
Q

what happens during the contraction stage

A

with the release of the troponin, the actin will slide toward the thick filament, the myosin head attaches to the actin forming a cross bridge and ATP is released during this bridging

66
Q

what is cross bridging

A

when the myosin head attaches to actin

67
Q

what is released during cross bridging

A

ATP

68
Q

what happens during the relaxation stage

A

calcium is reabsorbed within the sarcoplasmic reticulum
the actin is re-bound
release of the bridge
and relaxation

69
Q

where is ACH released from

A

the terminal end at the NMJ

70
Q

what hand shortens with muscle contraction

A

H band

71
Q

when ACH stops stimulating the NMJ what happens

A

Ca+ pumped back into the sarcolemma
tropomyosin will reform the complex that blocks the ability for actin to bind to myosin and the contraction stops

72
Q

what are the different types of muscle contraction

A

reflexive
tonic
phasic

73
Q

what attachment site is immobile during contraction

A

origin

74
Q

80
Q

how do you describe smooth muscles

A

non-striated
