A 20-year-old male soccer player gets kicked on the lateral side of the leg. He has some swelling, and a limp. Where will he have weakness and sensory loss? What nerve is injured?

A

Weakness with dorsiflexion and sensory loss on the anterolateral leg; peroneal nerve

56
Q

Discuss skeletal muscle contraction.

A

AP depolarization opens Ca2+ channels in SR.

57
Q

Discuss skeletal muscle contraction.

A
  1. The active site on actin is exposed a Ca2+ binds troponin.
  2. The myosin head forms a cross-bridge with actin.
  3. During the power stroke the myosin head bends and ADP and phosphate are released.
  4. A new molecule of ATP attaches to the myosin head, causing the cross-bridge to detach.
  5. ATP hydrolyzes to ADP and phosphate, which returns the myosin to the cocked position.
