17
Q

triad

A

2 cisternae plus a T tubule

18
Q

A bands

A

dark bands, which run the length of the thick filaments

19
Q

subdivisions of A band

A

M line
H band
zone of overlap

20
Q

M line

A

vertical line in center of A band; contains proteins that stabilize the position of the thick filaments

21
Q

H band

A

made only of thick filaments and extends on either side of the M line

22
Q

I band

A

light bands that contain only thin filaments

23
Q

which segments in a sarcomere, shorten during contraction?

A

H and I bands

24
Q

the 4 different types of protein that make up a myofibril.

A

Actin
Myosin
Tropomyosin
troponin

25
Q

Which protein does the myosin head bind to during contraction?

A

actin

26
Q

which ion helps in contraction process

A

calcium

27
Q

sliding filament theory

A

during a contraction, thin filaments slide toward the center of the sarcomere (M line) alongside the thick filaments

28
Q

Excitation- Contraction coupling?

A

the link between the generation of an action potential in the sarcolemma and the start of muscle contraction

29
Q

neuromuscular junction

A

the synapse between a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber

30
Q

parts of nmj

A

axon terminal: expanded end of the axons of the motor neuron

motor end plate: folded membrane of the skeletal muscle fiber at the NMJ

synaptic cleft: space between the axon terminal and motor end plate

31
Q

motor unit

A

a motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it controls

32
Q

thin filament contain

A
  • filamentous actin (f-actin)
  • nebulin
  • tropomyosin
  • troponin
33
Q

filamentous actin (f-actin)

A

twisted strand composed of 2 rows of G-actin molecules

34
Q

active sites on G-actin bind to

A

myosin

35
Q

nebulin

A

holds the F actin strands together

36
Q

tropomyosin

A

covers the active sites on G-actin and prevents actin-myosin interaction

37
Q

troponin

A

globular protein that holds tropomyosin in place and binds to calcium ions

38
Q

contraction steps (6)

A
  1. brain stimulates muscle contraction + releases action potential
  2. terminal cisternae releases Ca to bind to troponin
  3. troponin becomes flat when Ca binds
  4. tropomyosin slips off which exposes active sites on G-actin
  5. myosin heads binds to exposed active sites
  6. power stroke/musclencontracts
39
Q

Tendon

A

Bone to muscle

40
Q

aponeurosis

A

blending of epi, peri, and endomysium that forms a broad sheet at the end of a muscle

41
Q

thin filament consists of

A

pair of F actin molecules twisted together
