anatomy and physiology - muscle and bone Flashcards
what are t tubules
extensions of plasma membrane justaposed with terminal cisternae
part of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
what type of muscle has a triad
1 t tubule and 2 terminal cisternae in skeletal muscle
what type of muscle has a diad
1 t tubule and 1 terminal cisternae in cardiac muscle
roel of t tubule in muscle contraction pelase
after ach released from opening of vg Ca in presynaptic and binds on post synaptic membranes causing cell depol in the motor end plate - depolarization travels along muscle cell and dowon the t tubule
whats the roel of the dihydropyridine receptors in muscle contraction
are activated by depol from t tubules = mechanically couples to the ryanodine receptors ont eh SR – results in conformational change in teh RYR that causes Ca release from teh SR
what happens after RYR receptors permit Ca out of the SR
release Ca binds to troponin C = leads to conformational change that moves torpomyosin out of the myoisn binding groove on actin filaments
why cany myosin and actin interact when there is no calcium around
troponin C and Ca move tropomyosin out of the myosin binding grooves on the actin filaments
what happens when myosin release ADP and organic Pi
displacement of myosin on the actin filamemt - poser stroke = contraction
what changes size in contraction
NOT THE A BAND H band I band length or sarcomere Z lines move towards the M line
what happens when new ATP binds myosin
causes detachement of myosin head from actin
what happens when ATP hydrolyzes to form ADp and Pi bound to mysoin
resets into cocked/high energy position ready for the next contraction cytle
what happens when mysoin releases ADP and PI
power stroke, release from high energy state/cocked position and causes contraction
describe role of ATP and myosin head
ATP bound = detaches myosin from actin
ATP hydrolyzes to form ADP and PI that are still bound to myosin = assumes high energy/cocked position
ADP and PI leave myosin - binds to actin and causes contraction leaving the high energy/cocked position.
list the components of a sarcomere and what each represents pelase
H band- part of A band/mysoin heavy chains that is not interacting with actin chains
I band - width of actin not interacting with myosin. contains the Z line
A band - width of myosin heavy chainns, contains the mysoin chains and the H band and the M line
M line = connection of myosin heavy chaings
I line - connection of actin heavy chaings
H band decreases as more mysoin is interacting with actin
I band decreases as more actin is interacting with mysoin
A band - samezees
boundaries of the sarcomere
Z line to Z line. hurah.
on Em describe apperance of sarcomere
Z lines - darkest
I band - lighest area on both sides of Z line
H band - pale region around medium gray M line
M line - medim gray in middle of A band
A band - medium gray with H band and M line between I band.
