110
Neuromuscular Junction
Synapse between the motor neuron terminal and muscle fiber.
111
Excitation
Is when a microfiber is stimulated by the action potential from a motor neuron.
112
What happens after the microfiber is stimulated?
Calcium enters and activates the exocytosis of neurotransmitters.
113
Excitation-Contraction coupling
Action potential arrives from t tubules, calcium binds to troponin and changes its shape, toponin complex changes position contraction is intitated
114
Contraction Cycle
The contraction cycle begins when calcium causes the troponin to change position. This exposes the Actin's active sites. Myson binds to the now exposed acting causing a cross-bridge formation. Myosin head pivots (power stroke) which causes the actin to slide. Cross bridge is detached.
115
Relaxtion occures when
Motor neuron stops releasing Acetylcholine, runs out of ATP or Calcium
116
What happens when relaxation occurs.
ACh degraded by acetylcholinesterase in synaptic cleft. Muscle fiber repolarizes, no more calcium release from Sarcoplasmic reticulum. SR refills with calcium. Troponin returns to its original shape. Tropomyosin covers actin
117
Glycolysis
Glucose from blood and muscle produces ATP.
118
Aerobic Respiration
After glycolysis occurs if there is enough oxygen present at the site aerobic respiration will begin. Aerobic respiration converts the byproducts of glycolysis into ATP Carbon Dioxide and water.
119
