26) Voluntary
33

____-end of motor neuron that releases neurotransmitters to excite
muscle fiber
Axon Terminal
34

Synaptic cleft
36
Nueromuscular:
____-a motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers it excites
Motor Unit
37
Mechanism of excitation contraction coupling:
_____-At the NMJ, the axon terminal releases acetylcholine (ACh). The
motor end-plate is the location of the ACh-receptors in the muscle fiber sarcolemma. When Ach
molecules are released, they diffuse across a minute space called the synaptic cleft and bind to
the receptors that stimulate an action potential (brief reversal of the membrane potential)
Excitation
38
Mechanism of excitation contraction coupling:
_____-An action potential stimulates the release of calcium ions from the
sarcoplasmic reticulum into flood the sarcoplasm. Calcium is the mediator of excitation
contraction coupling that binds to troponin exposing the binding sites on actin to allow crossbridge
formation. A cross-bridge forms between actin and the myosin heads triggering
contraction. As long as Ca++ ions remain in the sarcoplasm to bind to troponin, and as long as
ATP is available, the muscle fiber will continue to shorten.
