anatomical unit of muscle
muscle fibre
26
what is muscle fibre covered by
sarcolemma( a plasma membrane)
27
what does the sarcolemma enclose
sarcoplasm which contains many nuclei
28
what do the muscle fibres contain
parallely arranged myofibrils
| alternate dark and light bands
29
what are formed over the myofibrils
t tubules/transverse tubules
30
what is a myofibril made up of
```
2 types of myofilaments
thick myofilament(myosin)
thin myofilament (actin)
```
31
the endoplasmic reticulum in the sarcoplasm
sarcoplasmic reticulum
| a storehouse of calcium for muscle contraction
32
the dark band on myofibril
A band ( anisotropic band)
33
light band on myofibril
I band(isotropic band)
34
the centre of A band
a slightly lighter area called the H band or the hensen zone
35
the M line
a dark line passing through the H zone
36
centre of I band
dark line passing called the Z line
37
the part between two successive z lines
sarcomere
38
what is the sarcomere
structural and functional unit of a myofibril
39
what does a sarcomere consist of
2 half of I bands and 1 whole A band
40
what is the dark A band made of
thick myosin and little bit of the thin actin extends into it
41
what is the light I band made of
only thin actin
42
what is myoglobin
an oxygen and fe binding protein. found mainly in haemoglobin but in muscles it helps in storing oxygen in the muscles
43
structure of myosin
the thick myofilament which are made of polymerised protein myosin
monomers of meromyosin make myosin protein
each meromyosin has two parts( globular head with a short arm and tail)
globular head + short arm is the HEAVY MEROMYOSIN
tail is the LIGHT MEROMYOSIN
the globular head is the site for ATP binding and actin . the head also produces ATPase which hydrolysis ATP to produce energy
the myosin molecule forms a tadpole structure. the head and the short arm protrude out of the body and make bridges with actin
44
the appearance of myosin filament
thick dark and rough surface due the cross bridges and it is free at both ends.
45
structure of the thin filament(actin)
made up of three proteins(actin,tropomyosin,troponin)
actin: the globular protein which is light weighted molecule. it occurs as monomeric g actin and polymeric F actin. in the presence of magnesium ions,the G actin turns to F actin
tropomyosin: a fibrous molecule. two tropomyosin molecules run closely along the entire length of the actin. at the resting phase, it separates the actin and myosin by binding to the myosin-binding site on the actin
it prevents the formation of cross-bridges.
troponin: at regular intervals of tropomyosin. it makes the active binding sites for myosin on actin filament. it is a trimeric protein
1. troponin I: inhibits actin myosin interaction and binds to other components of troponin
2. troponin T : binding site for tropomyocin
3. Troponin C: binding site for calcium
46
appearnce of actin filaments
thin, light,smooth due to no cross bridges,free at one end and joined to Z line at other
47
ration of myosin actin
myosin< actin
3 myosin surround 1 actin
6 actin surround 1 myosin.
48
what is end plate
nuero muscular junction which recieves impulse from the motor neuron and causes depolarization of the skeletal muscle.
the impulse can be electrical,chemical,thermal,mechanical, hormonal
49
who gave mechanism of muscle contraction.
sliding filament theory by hugh huxley and jean hanson
50
the sliding filament theory
it the theory where the chemical energy from impulses is converted into mechanical energy of muscle contractions
the myosin head always wants to bind with the actin filament, but the actin filament is always bound to tropomyosin and troponin
luckily, the troponin can be bought over by ca ions and ATP
the action potential is generated via the motor neurons from the CNS. the action potential via acetylcholine reaches the sarcolemma.
it then spreads from the sarcolemma to the t tubules. then impulse then stimulates the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions into the sarcoplasm
troponin c of the actin binds with the calcium ions and hence change its shape, the shape change causes the troponin t- tropomyosin complex to move away from the actin.
the myosin binding site is free on actin which then causes the globular head of myosin to release ATPase which breaks the ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate.
it causes the head to stretch and then causes it to bind with actin.
te actin contracts and it moves closer to H line. the MYOSIN DOES NOT MOVE.
with the help of phosphocreatine, ADP turns back to ATP and the actin-myosin link is broken,
the calcium ions move back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum( with the help of calcium binding proteins called calsequestrin), therefore causing actin to come back to its normal state and the actin moves away from the H zone
the enzyme AchE( acetylcholinesterase) causes the breakdown of acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft,therefore killing the impulse.
51
muscle twitch
quick isolated contraction of a muscle, to a single stimulus of threshold value.
52
muscle fatigue
muscle fatigue is when repeated contraction of the skeletal muscles anaerobically causes accumulation of lactic acid in the muscles.
the glycogen present in the body breaks down anaerobically to produce lactic acid. its accumulation can cause pain and fatigue.
the lactic acid then diffuses into the blood.
4/5th of it is converted back to glycogen and the other 1/5th into carbon dioxide and water (Cori's cycle)
53
rigor mortis
the complete rigidity of the body after death, due to depletion of ATP and phosphocreatine.
54
muscle spasm
sudden, involuntary movement in one or more muscles. People may also call it a charley horse or a muscle cramp or twitch.
occur due to stress, dehydration and exercise or tiredness.
55
during a muscle contraction, the muscle can shorten by
1/3 to 1/2 of its length
56
red muscle vs white muscle fibres
red white
1.smaller diameter larger diameter
2.red due to haem- myoglobin is absent
protein myoglobin
3.more mitochondria less
4.more capillaries less
5.less sarcoplasmic more
reticulum
6. aerobic oxidation anaerobic, collect lactic acid
7. slow long fast short contractions
contractions.
57
where can you find red muscle fibres
extensor muscles, flight muscles of kites
58
where can you find white muscle fibres
eyeball, flight muscles of a sparrow
59
contraction of smooth muscles
slow lasts much longer
| troponin absent, they have a protein called calmodulin that binds calcium to the cytosol
60
where do smooth muscles get impulses from
autonomic nervous system
61
contraction of cardiac muscles
gap junctions allow muscle contraction to spread from one fibre to another.
long refractory period and lactic acid produced is used to make ATP
62
what constitutes the skeletal system
bones and cartilage
63
exoskeletal system
the skeleton is external. it is made up of dead tissues.
| present in both vertebrates and invertebrates
64
endoskeleton
present inside the body
made up of cartilage and bones in
vertebrates
present in both vertebrates and invertebrates, to make a framework and protect

70
why is the skull called dicondylic
due to the presence of two occipital condyles in the skull (occipital bone).The condyles connect the skull with Atlas
