Q

What are the steps involved in skeletal muscle contraction?

A
  1. Nerve impulse arrives at the neuromuscular junction
  2. ACH released into synaptic cleft
  3. Ach binds to receptors in the motor end plate initiating an impulse along the sarcolemma
  4. Impulse travels along sacrolemma & T-tubules
  5. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum

6.Calcium ions bind to troponin

  1. Troponin moves tropomyosin & exposes active sites on the actin
  2. Myosin heads bind to active sites & pivots
  3. ATP binds to myosin head
  4. Myosin head detaches from actin & resets

11.Nerve impulse stops

  1. Calcium ions transported back to sarcoplasmic reticulum
  2. Tropomyosin covers active sites, myosin can’t bind muscles relaxes
