Q

Sliding Filament Theory

A
  • contraction of muscle occurs by sliding of thin filaments over thick. actual length=unchanged
  • relaxed = low crossbridge cycling because the myosin bidning site on actin is covered by troponin-tropomyosin complex.
  • excited= Ca binds w/ troponin pullin troponin-tropomyosin complex aside to expose crossbridge binding.
  • bidning of actin + myosin crossbridges triggers power stroke, pulling thin inward during contraction

Q

Cross Bridge Cycle

A
  • during each cycle the myosin head binds w/ actin molecule, bending to pull the thin filament inward during the power stroke…it will then detach and return to resting conformation= repeat of cycle
  • during muscle contraction, each sarcomere shortens as thin filaments slide closer together between thick filaments so that the Z lines are pulled closer together
  • A bands width dont change, but the I and H zones become shorter

Q

Cross Bridge Cycling

A

1-myosin head is activated—ATP is hydrolyzed so myosin has ADP bound to it. Myosin ADP is activated form of myosin. but it cant yet to bind to actin because myosin is blocked by troponin-tropomyosin complex.
2-Cross bridge formation—Cat2 binds to troponin and troponin-tropomyosin complex moves, exposin myosin binding sites on actin. myosin binds actin
3-power stroke—release of ADP and P from myosin head. Head undergoes conformational change. thin filament sliding along thick filament. thin pulled 10 nm
4-cross bridge detachment—ATP binds to myosin, so myosin dissociates from actin and the cross-bridge breaks. hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and P returns myosin to original activated confromation
5-if there isnt enough ATP then myosin wont dissociate from actin…so cross bridge remains intact.

Q

ATP in skeletal muscle contraction

A

-ATP gives energy for 2 actions
1-binding of ATP to myosin dissociates the cross bridge between actin and myosin. the hydrolysis of ATP into ADP and P by myosin ATPase activates myosin heads
2-Ca-ATPase in SR transports Ca ions into SR which lowers cytosolic free Ca. terminates contraction and allows muscle fiber to relax

A

1-Ach is a transmitter used at NM junctions. synthesized from acetyl coA and choline and is w/in vesicles in the axon terminal
2-on motor end plate w/in Ach receptros (nicotinic) receptors are ligand gated, cation selective channels that open when bound to Ach. amount of Ach released during AP will open 400000 channels in motor end plate
3-activation of Ach receptors terminates Ach degradation
4-post synaptic membrane degrades Ach. choline is taken back into presynaptic motor nerve for resynthesis of Ach. some diffuse away from cleft

Q

Transmission at Neuromuscular Junction

A
  • AP generated in motor neuron
  • depolarization of motor neuron axon terminal by AP opens VG Ca channels and Ca moves into axon terminal
  • exocytosis of ACh containing vesicles-# of vesicles released is dependent upon con of Ca in terminal
  • Ach diffuses across synapse and binds to nicotinic Ach receptors on motor end plate of muscle membrane
  • sarcolemma is folded to synaptic cleft, and Ach receptors are present in junctional folds
  • after binding of Ach the nicotinic Ach receptor opens allowing an influx of Na and effluc of K= depolarizing end-plate potential (EPP)
  • EPP= AP down muscle membrane
  • Achesterase breaks down ACH in junction to stop contraction

  • EPP is analogous to EPSP at neuron neuron synapse
  • binding of Ach to post syn receptor= electrical response of muscle cell membrane—depends only on Ach not voltage
  • large magnitude (50mv) of EPP= exceed membrane threshold of adjacent muscle plasma membrane to trigger AP. EPP= only 20 mv above membrane threshold= safety to ensure AP in motor neuron= AP in muscle

Q

Steps of Excitation Contraction Coupling

A

1-Ach released by axon of motor neuron crosses cleft and binds to nicotinic receptors on motor end plate that form cation selective channels. if depolarization= threshold then AP is generated
2-AP is propagated across surface membrane and down T-tubulues of muscle cells. t-tubules are invaginations of surface membrane= deep into interior of muscle. they conduct AP into cells center to activate entire cell in sync
3-T-tubules AP activates VG Ca channels that associate w/ Ca release channels in SR. AP triggers Ca release from SR. Free Ca of sarcoplasm inc from resting to antive
4-Ca ions released from SR bind to troponin (tn-c) on actin filaments. tropomyosin is physically moved aside to uncover cross bridge binding sites on actin. myosin able to make crossbridge w/ actin
5-myosin heads bend, pulling actin towards center of sarcomere= shortening sarcomere. energy is provided by hydrolysis of ATP into ADP & P. cross bridge binding, power stroke, and detachment will continue if ATP and Ca are present. Single contraction= cross bridge attaches, pulls, & detaches many times as it progresses along actin towards Z
6-AP termination (repolarization) VG Ca channels in T-tubules close, terminating SR Ca release. Ca ions in cytosol are pumped back into SR by Ca-ATPase, Ca is reduced. Low Ca favors dissociation of Ca from TnC.

Q

Role of Ca in Skeletal Muscle Contraction

A
  • w/in skeletal muscles, the SR is main source of Ca. Ca is needed for cross bridging attachment of myosin to actin bc it removes blocking of the myosin binding by troponin
  • Ca & ATP = cross bridge cycling

Q

1-RMP
2-AP
3-AP definition

A

1-Em= not constant but variable…from -65 mV to -45 mV, RMP is determined by Na and K fluxes

2-Ca dependent rather than Na dependent. single unit SM fires AP, most multiunit SM dont fire AP

3-depolarization of RMP to generate AP = activation of VG Ca channels in membrane of SM and an increase in intracellular Ca

Q

Relaxation of SM

A

1-dec in cytosolic Ca from:

  • return of Ca into SR by SR Ca ATPase
  • extrusion of Ca out of SM by: -sarcolemma Na/Ca exchanger—energy for extrusion of Ca against concentration gradient from inward driving force for Na (atpase retains gradient) -sarcolemman Ca ATPase

2-MLCK returns from inactive
3-enzyme myosin phosphatase removes phosphate from myosin

1-bone first laid down in both priamry and secondary center is resorbed and remodeld= central marrow cavity in diaphysis and spngy bone in epiphyses—osteoclast= common feature=new areas
2-bones are remodeled during childhood and adulthood—-rate of bone remodeling is faster in kids
-factors cause remodeling= growth factors, pregnancy, ormones, and bone stress by muscle contraction and body movement
-growth of brain causes growth of skull bones
-ability of bone ro remodel under stress= orthodontics

Q

Bone Fracture Repair part 1

A
  • healing of bone fractures involves not only the bone matrix but BV and periosteum
  • w/in fractured bone= ruptured BV bleed= causing a formation of hematoma at fracture site
  • damage of matrix due to disruption of blood supply at site of fracture = death of osteocytes in area
  • phagocytic cells remove clot and damaged bone as part of repair
  • fibroblasts and BV grow into hematoma and form granulation and becomes callus—external callus around gracture and internal callus between fractured ends of bone

Q

Bone Fracture Repair 2

A
  • periosteum and endosteum adjacent to fracture respond to injury by producing large numbers of osteoprogenitor cells that invade the area of fracture
  • external callus grows and thickens at a rapid rate, causing inadequate blood supply in deeper parts of external callus that promotes formation of hyaline cartilage and not bone= cartilage is replaced by bone=endochondral

Q

Bone Fracture Repair 3

A
  • osteoprogenitor cells that invade the internal callus produce trabeculae of primary bone that unit ends of fracture
  • callus provides sufficient support to weakly unite 2 ends of bone and support—required for bone to heal property—–failure to adequately support bone during healing process can result in development of abnormal bone structure
  • normal stresses on healing bone will result in remodeling of newly laid down bone until repaired bone approximates the appearance of bone prior to fracture
