somatic motor fibers (terminal end branches supply one muscle fiber
69

70
fine control
small motor units contain as few as 20 muscle fibers per nerve fiber
ex.eye muscles
71
strength control

72
Neuromuscular junctions (synapse)
Functional connection between nerve fiber and muscle cell
•Neurotransmitter (acetylcholine/ACh) released from nerve fiber stimulates muscle cell
•Components of synapse (NMJ):
•Synaptic knob is swollen end of nerve fiber (contains ACh)
•Junctional folds region of sarcolemma
•increases surface area for ACh receptors
•contains acetylcholinesterase that breaks down ACh and causes relaxation
•Synaptic cleft = tiny gap between nerve and muscle cells
73
Electrically Excitable Cells
plasma membrane is polarized or charged
stimulation opens ion gates in membrane
74
excitation
nerve action potentials lead to action potentials in muscle fiber (create action potential)
75
excitation-contraction coupling
action potentials on the sarcolemma activate myofilaments
76
contraction
shortening of muscle fiber
77
relaxation
return to resting lemgth
78
Excitation steps 1 and 2
Nerve signal opens voltage-gated calcium channels. Calcium stimulates exocytosis of synaptic vesicles containing ACh = ACh release into synaptic cleft.
79
excitation steps 3 and 4
Binding of ACh to NICOTONIC ACh receptor proteins opens Na+ and K+ channels resulting in jump in RMP from -90mV to +30 mV forming an end-plate potential (EPP)
80
excitation step 5
Voltage change in end-plate region (EPP) opens nearby voltage-gated channels producing an action potential
81
excitation-contraction coupling (steps 6 and 7)
Action potential spreading over sarcolemma enters T tubules -- voltage-gated channels open in T tubules causing calcium gates to open in SR
82
Excitation-Contraction Coupling (steps 8 and 9)
Calcium released by SR binds to troponin
•Troponin-tropomyosin complex changes shape and exposes active sites on actin
83
Relaxation (steps 14 and 15)
Nerve stimulation ceases and acetylcholinesterase removes ACh from receptors. Stimulation of the muscle cell ceases.
84
Relaxation (step 16)
Active transport needed to pump calcium back into SR
•ATP is needed for muscle relaxation as well as muscle contraction
85
Relaxation (steps 17 and 18)
Loss of calcium from sarcoplasm moves troponin-tropomyosin complex over active sites
•stops the production or maintenance of tension
•Muscle fiber returns to its resting length due to recoil of series-elastic components and contraction of antagonistic muscles
86
Pesticides (cholinesterase inhibitors)
•bind to acetylcholinesterase and prevent it from degrading ACh
•spastic paralysis and possible suffocation
87
Flaccid paralysis is caused by
toxin of Clostridium (botulinum) bacteria
88
Flaccid paralysis (limp muscles) due to
due to curare that competes with ACh
•respiratory arrest
89
Myasthenia Gravis
Autoimmune disease - antibodies attack NMJ and bind ACh receptors in clusters
•receptors removed
•less and less sensitive to ACh
•drooping eyelids and double vision, difficulty swallowing, weakness of the limbs, respiratory failure
•Disease of women between 20 and 40
•Treated with cholinesterase inhibitors, thymus removal, or immunosuppressive agents
90
Rigor Mortis
Muscles begin to stiffen 3 to 4 hours after death
•Occurs because dying cells have a massive release of _?_ from the SR which promotes myosin cross bridge binding
•Dead = no more ATP.
•Rigor mortis disappears as muscle proteins break down several hours after death (48 to 60 hours)
91
M uscle Tension
When sarcomeres contract, they shorten which shortens the muscle fiber
•Muscle fiber shortening causes tension on the connective tissue attached to muscle (tendons).
•The tension produced can vary…
92
Length-Tension Relationship
Amount of tension generated depends on length of muscle before it was stimulated
•length-tension relationship (see graph next slide)
•Overly contracted (weak contraction results)
•thick filaments too close to Z discs and can’t slide
•Too stretched (weak contraction results)
•little overlap of thin and thick does not allow for very many cross bridges too form
•Optimum resting length produces greatest force when muscle contracts
•central nervous system maintains optimal length producing muscle tone or partial contraction
93
Recruitment and Stimulus Intensity
Stimulating the whole nerve with higher and higher voltage produces stronger contractions
•More motor units are being recruited
•called multiple motor unit summation
•lift a glass of milk versus a whole gallon of milk
94
3 Phases of Twitch
Latent period before contraction:
–the action potential moves through sarcolemma
–causing Ca2+ release
2.Contraction phase:
–calcium ions bind
–tension builds to peak
3.Relaxation phase:
–Ca2+ levels fall
–active sites are covered
–tension falls to resting levels
95
Unfused (incomplete) tetanus
Some relaxation occurs between contractions
·Sustained, fluttering contractions of motor units
·The results are summed into a smooth contraction
96
·Fused (complete) tetanus
No evidence of relaxation before the following contractions
·The result is an intense, sustained muscle contraction
·Calcium is never reclaimed by the SR
97
Isometric muscle contraction
develops tension without changing length
•important in postural muscle function and antagonistic muscle joint stabilization
98
Isotonic muscle contraction
Same tension while shortening = concentric
•Same tension while lengthening = eccentric

103
Long-Term Energy Needs
•Aerobic respiration needed for prolonged exercise
Produces 36 ATPs/glucose molecule
•After 40 seconds of exercise, respiratory and cardiovascular systems must deliver enough oxygen for aerobic respiration
•oxygen consumption rate increases for first 3-4 minutes and then levels off to a steady state
•Limits are set by depletion of glycogen and blood glucose, loss of fluid and electrolytes
104
Oxygen Debt
Heavy breathing after strenuous exercise
Purposes for extra oxygen
•replace oxygen reserves (myoglobin, blood hemoglobin, in air in the lungs and dissolved in plasma)
•replenishing the phosphagen system

metabolic rate that occurs as
long as the body temperature
remains elevated by exercise

123
How Does The Message Get Passed Along?
Information from one neuron flows to another neuron across a synapse…
•a small gap separating neurons that consists of:
•a presynaptic ending that contains neurotransmitters, mitochondria & other organelles
•a postsynaptic ending that contains receptor sites for neurotransmitters
•a synaptic cleft or space between the presynaptic & postsynaptic endings.
124
Getting the message across(the synapse)
AP signal arrives at the axon terminal
•This causes VOLTAGE GATED Ca2+ channel to open
•Ca2+ diffuses into neuron
•Causes NT vesicles to move to end & fuse with cell membrane
•Through exocytosis, NTs are released into synapse
•NTs diffuse across synapse & bind to NT receptors on another neuron
•Causes LIGAND GATED Na+ channels to open & AP is initiated in next neuron
125
Types Of Receptors - Ionotropic
Also called a ligand – gated receptor
•They open or close a channel that lets small particles (ions) in.
•No second messenger is involved= Direct effect
126
Types Of Receptors – Metabotropic 2 Types

128
What is cAMP and what does it do?
Cyclic AMP is a secondary messenger derived from ATP.
It can open cell membrane channels & can activate enzymes
One example, is by epinephrine binding to the beta-adrenergic receptor (more on this soon), activation of PKA to cause the stimulation of glycogen breakdown.
129
2 Classes Of Neurotransmitters
Excitatory neurotransmitters:
•cause depolarization of postsynaptic membranes
•promote action potentials
2.Inhibitory neurotransmitters:
•cause hyperpolarization (goes in opposite direction of depolarization) of postsynaptic membranes
•suppress action potentials
