Q

Tendons are important structures that link the muscular system with the skeletal system. They help to provide stability in your joints and have stretch receptors that let you know when you’ve met your maximum flexibility, so they do not rupture. They must be warmed up prior to rigorous exercise because they do not have a good blood supply. Therefore, tendons are constructed from ____________________________________________ tissue.

A

dense connective tissue

A

calcium; troponin

41
Q

The energy for cross bridge cycling during muscle contraction is provided by

A

ATP

42
Q

Step 1 of sliding filament model

A

Myosin binds to crossbridge of actin (ADP + P form)

43
Q

Step 2 of sliding filament model

A

Myosin head initiates a “power stroke”. (ATP used)

44
Q

Step 3 of sliding filament model

A

myosin detachment and “reset” (ATP Used)

45
Q

step 4 of sliding filament model

A

Myosin head initiates “recovery stroke” preparing to bind again.

46
Q

What does Troponin do

A

binds with calcium to allow sarcomere shortening.

47
Q

A motor unit refers to:

A

a single motor neuron plus all of the muscle fibers it activates.

48
Q

The transverse tubules (T-Tubules) in a muscle fiber…

A

provide a means of rapidly transmitting the action potential from the surface into the central portions of the muscle fiber.

49
Q

How many ATP are required to initiate a complete movement of the myosin head (power stroke - disengage – recovery stroke)?

A

two

50
Q

True or False: The term “Action Potential” is the correct name that refers to the wave-like energy that passes from the NMJ through the T-Tubules from the muscle to cause changes in the muscle initiating depolarization and the contraction process?

A

true

51
Q

The [ ______] mineral needs to be secreted from the [ _______ ] organelle in the muscle and bind to the [ _______ ] complex on the actin protein in order to expose the binding sites on the thin filament, so myosin can bind and from the cross-bridge.

A

calcium; sarcoplasmic reticulum; troponin

52
Q

mitochondria

53
Q

The molecule creatine phosphate is found only in muscle fibers. It has the unique function of transferring high-energy ___________ molecules to ADP therefore creating more ATP in a fraction of a second.

60
Q

Step 1 of the NMJ process

A

Action potential travels the length of an axon of a motor neuron to the axon terminal

61
Q

Step 2 of the NMJ process

A

Voltage-gated Ca2+ channels open and Ca2+ ions diffuse into the terminal

62
Q

Step 3 of the NMJ process

A

Ca2+ entry causes the synaptic vesicle to release ACh via exocytosis

63
Q

Step 4 of the NMJ process

A

ACh diffuses across a synaptic cleft and binds to ACh receptors which contain ligand-gated cation channels

64
Q

Step 5 of the NMJ process

A

Ligand-gated channels open

65
Q

Step 6 of the NMJ process

A

Na+ ions enter the muscle fiber and K+ exit the muscle fiber; the greater inward flux of Na+ relative to the outward flux of K+ causes the membrane potential of the muscle to become less negative

66
Q

Step 7 of the NMJ process

A

Once the membrane potential reaches the threshold value the potential propagates along the sarcolemma

67
Q

What happens after the action potential (impulses) reaches the sarcolemma of the muscle cell?
-step 1 of the sliding filament mechanism

A

“T” tubules carry impulses into the sarcoplasmic reticulum and releases Ca2+ ions

68
Q

What happens after the action potential (impulses) reaches the sarcolemma of the muscle cell?
-step 2 of the sliding filament mechanism

A

Ca2+ ions enter the sarcomeres and binds to troponin on tropomyosin strands moving the strand and exposing myosin binding sites

69
Q

What happens after the action potential (impulses) reaches the sarcolemma of the muscle cell?
-step 3 of the sliding filament mechanism

A

Myosin binds to actin forming crossbridges that ATP can bind to

70
Q

What happens after the action potential (impulses) reaches the sarcolemma of the muscle cell?
-step 4 of the sliding filament mechanism

A

ATP breaks down, releasing energy, causing cross bridges to pull actin strand

71
Q

What happens after the action potential (impulses) reaches the sarcolemma of the muscle cell?
-step 5 of the sliding filament mechanism

A

Another ATP binds to myosin cross bridge and causes myosin to bend, attach, and pull on the next actin strand

72
Q

What happens after the action potential (impulses) reaches the sarcolemma of the muscle cell?
-step 6 of the sliding filament mechanism

A

When the action potential ends, Ca2+ ions are pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum; tropomyosin returns to the original position covering the binding sites; muscle is at rest

73
Q

True or False: When there is no oxygen in the muscle cell due to strenuous activity, anaerobic respiration allows glycolysis to continue making ATP for energy use. In animal cells, this is called lactic acid fermentation.

A

True
