Q

Thick filaments are held together by ________ ___ _________

A

Nodes of protein

23
Q

Where nodes are located

24
Q

Defined by the ends of thin filaments

25
End of thick filaments, overlaps with thin
A-band
26
Only thin filaments are located here
I-band
27
Very concentrated thin filaments
Z-line
28
What is the ratio of thick to thin filaments?
1 thick : 6 thin
29
What are the 3 components of thin filament?
Actin Tropomyosin Troponin
30
Two Long strand of F-actin (made of G-actin) twisted together
Actin
31
Glue that holds F-actin strands together
Tropomyosin
32
What are the three subunits or troponin?
TnT TnC TnI
33
What is the function of TnT
Bind to tropomyosin
34
TnC function
Binds calcium
35
TnI function
Blocks interaction between actin and myosin (keeps muscles from contracting all the time)
36
Thick filaments is made of what?
Myosin
37
What are the two subunits of myosin?
Heavy meromyosin | Light meromyosin
38
What is the function of heavy meromyosin?
Forms head of molecule - has binding sites for ATP and actin
39
Which type of skeletal muscle is related to continuous slow contractions?
Type 1
40
Type 1 muscle fibers are rich in ______
Myoglobin
41
What do type 1 muscle fibers use for energy
Fatty acid - oxidative phosphorylation
42
Which muscle fiber type is used for rapid discontinuous contractions
Type 2
43
Type 2 has ______ myoglobin than type 1
Less
44
What are the three subtypes of type 2 muscle fiber
IIA IIB IIC
45
Which subtype has the fastest action and uses glycolysis for energy
IIB
46
Sarcoplasmic reticulum store
Calcium
47
Sarcoplasmic reticulum is a network of _______
SER
48
What is the T-tubule?
Projection of sarcolemma that forms a complex of tubules at the A-I junction
49
What makes up a triad?
1 T-tubule and 2 terminal cistern
50
What triggers calcium to be released?
When the action potential contacts a terminal cistern
51
What do skeletal muscles use as their neurotransmitter?
Ach
52
What determines if a muscle can contract?
The number of receptors
53
What happens if enough Acetyl-CoA is bound to peripheral protein on the muscle?
The muscle depolarizes and action potential is sent into the muscle
54
What does type 2 skeletal muscle use for energy?
Glycolysis
