33
Q

Myofibril contains two proteins:

A

Actin filament
Myosin filament

34
Q

thin filament

A

Actin filament

35
Q

thick filament

A

Myosin filament

36

Sarcomere

37
Q

these are networks of
membranous channels that surround each myofibril.

A

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)

38
Q

these are membranous channels that
extend into the sarcoplasm as invagination containing extracellular fluid.

A

Triad (T tubules)

39
Q

Sarcoplasmic reticulum contains-

A

triad; 1 transverse tubules and 2 cisternae or two
enlarged portions of the SR.

40
Q

these are light bands that are composed of thin
actin filaments. It is closer to the Z line (border).

A

I band

41

filaments are present.

A

H zone

43
Q

anchors the thin actin filaments. Acts as a boundary
between the sarcomere.

47
Q

A

myofibrils; sarcomere

48
Q

Also known as myoneural junction

A

neuromuscular junction

49
Q

Site where an axon and muscle fiber meet

A

neuromuscular junction

50
Q

parts of neuromuscular junction

A

Motor neuron
Motor end plate
Synaptic cleft
Synaptic vesicles
Neurotransmitters

51
Q

toxin that binds to each vesicle
resulting in paralyzation of the entire vesicles.

A

botulinum toxin aka botox

52
Q

It moves the vesicle towards the periphery of the axon terminal. It binds with the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor preventing the sodium to enter the muscle fiber or motor neurons.
-no muscle contraction
-snake venom and curare.

A

Bungarotoxin

53
Q

local anesthesia. The vesicles can move towards the periphery of the axon terminal and are capable of releasing the acetylcholine.

A

Procaine, lidocaine, benzocaine

54
Q

Procaine and lidocaine once the sodium gated
channel opens, it blocks the NAR causing ________

A

flaccid paralysis.

55
Q

toxin that prevent the acetylcholinesterase to bind with acetylcholine causing the gates to be open all the time.

A

Some pesticides

56
Q

some pesticides causes the sodium gated channel to always open causing constant contraction leading to __________

A
