Q

Aliding filament theory

A
  • Myosin heads attach to actin mollecules (at binding (active) site)
  • Myosin “pulls” on actin, causing thin myofilaments to slide across thick filaments, towards the center of the sarcomere.
  • Sarcomere shortens, I bands get smaller, H zone gets smaller, & zone of overlap increases.
  • as sarcomeres shorten, myofibril shortens. As myofibrils shorten, so does muscle fiber.
  • once a muscle fiber begins to contract, it will contract maximally.
  • this is known as the “all or none” principle.

Q

Describe muscle organization

A

Muscles are bundles of fascicles. Fasiscles are made up of bundles of fibers. A fiber is a cylindrical, multinucleate cell composed of numerous myofibrils that contracta when stimulated.

Thin filaments -> Myofibrils -> Buncle of fibers -> Fasicles -> Muscles

Q

Nueromucular function

A
  • an action potential (AP), an electrical impulse, travels down the axon of the motor neuron to the end bulbs (synaptic terminals)
  • the AP causes the synaptic vesicles to fuse with the end bulb membrane, resulting in the release of Acetylcholine (ACh) into the synaptic cleft
  • ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to ACh receptors on the motor end plate
  • the binding of ACh to its receptors causes a new AP to be generated along the muscle cell membrane
  • immediately afternit binds to its receptors, ACh will be broken down by Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) - an enzyme present in the symaptic cleft
