Q

CBC: What happens after Myosin head is attached to F-site?

A

Tension in head is used as energy and pulls at F-site to bring Z-discs closer together and slide actin filament to the right [contraction]

25
What is a H band
Only Myosin
26
What is a Myofibril *how many makes up a muscle fiber *Less or more for fine motor movement muscles
Contain actin and myosin; 200 or more per muscle fiber; less for more fine motor movement muscles
27
What is Rigor Mortis, per lecture?
Stiff muscles from no ATP [myosin heads stuck on F-sites]
28
What is Active Tension? *Shape on graph
Tension from contracting muscle with AP *upside U or V shape
29
Contraction of Myofibril: What happens to the I band
I band shrinks; the part where no overlap of actin and myosin is the part where the muscle shrinks during contraction
30
How do skeletal muscles get proteins down the muscle for rebuilding?
Skeletal muscles are one of the only muscles that are multi-nucleated, allowing for proteins to be produced throughout the muscle
31
Ocular Muscle Muscle Contraction
short lived, but rapid start [less myoglobin and mitochondria]
32
What does a ligament connect *3 examples
Bone to Bone [patellar, ACL, MCL]
33
L-T Relationship: D Fiber Stretching
Overstretched = no force produced
34
What is an I band
Band of only Actin
35
What is Myoglobin *how does it help mitochondria *affinity for O2
Protein that contains iron and helps O2 unload from blood to muscle *helps by giving O2 so mitochondria can use it as energy to create ATP *high affinity for O2
36
What is the Troponin Complex? *3 Parts with Function
3 proteins stuck together to help with binding of F-site and myosin head * Trop I - Actin *Trop T - TropoMyosin * Trop C - 4 binding sites for Ca++ to allow for rotate/unravel for F-sites to be seen/bound
37
Essential Light Chain vs Regulatory Light Chain
Essential - Gives Myosin head ATPase activity Regulatory - helps with specific functions
38
7 things muscle does for the body
Locomotion Expression Communicate Body temp Store glycogen Effectors from CNS Stores ions, fluids, proteins
39
Large mu's *Reason *which order are they activated and are they easy or hard to activate
Larger motor movements *Activated 2nd, harder to excite
40
L-T Relationship: Original A fiber
Cardiac Ventricle; Frank Starling; little understretched to allow for big stretch and push blood out
41
CBC: How does the Myosin Head look in the "ready to go" state
Cocked in perpendicular angle with ADP and Pi attached
42
How many Myosin Molecules per Myosin Filament
200
43
What is a motor unit
1 or more collection of muscle fibers that is controlled by a single motor neuron
44
What do Tendons Connect *Which tendon connects muscle to muscle
Muscle to bone *Intermediate tendons connect muscle to muscle
45
Example of Type 1 and Type 2 Skeletal Muscles
Type 1: Duck and Goose breast; dark meat Type 2: Chicken breast; white meat
46
Sarcomere Anatomy
1. Z-Disc 2. I Band [actin only] 3. A Band [actin + myosin] 4. H Band [myosin only] 5. Titin 6. Z-Disc
47
Skeletal Muscle Histology
1. Nuclei 2. Striation from Actin and Myosin
48
Muscle Cell Wall name
Sarcolemna
49
Type 1 Skeletal Muscle *Color [and why] *Speed and duration of contraction *Myoglobin and Mitochondria
Red, b/c of the iron found in myoglobin *Slow onset but long, sustained contraction *Lots of Myoglobin and Mitochondria
50
Contraction of Myofibril: What happens to the Z discs
The Z-discs move closer together
51
More than 1 group of muscle cells
Fasciculus
52
CBC: How to get Myosin head unattached?
Has to come in contact with ATP
53
What is the F-Site in Actin
Binding sites for Myosin Head
54
What is an A band
Band of both actin and myosin [overlap of filaments = produce force]
55
Describe Actin color and thick or thin
White and thin
56
CBC: Last step before "recocking" myosin head back to ready state
ATP metabolized into ADP and Pi, allowing for Myosin to be reset and in the ready to go state
57
Muscle is made up of _
Many Fasciculi
58
Small mu's *Reason *which order are they activated and are they easy or hard to activate
Fine motor control, less skeletal muscle cells *activated 1st, easy
59
What is total tension?
Active + Passive Tension
60
How many chains does a Myosin Filament have?
6 total *2 Heavy *4 Light [essential, regulatory]
