Chapter 12 Flashcards
Skeletal Muscle
striated, voluntary, multinucleated
Cardiac Muscle
striated, intercalated disks, involuntary, branched
Smooth Muscle
unstriated, involuntary, single nucleated
Structure of Skeletal Muscle
Fascicles -> Fibers -> Sarcoplasm -> Myofibrils -> Sarcomere
Myofibrils
troponin, actin, tropomyosin, myosin, titin, nebulin
Sarcoplasm
Sarcoplasmic reticulum, myofibrils, mitochondria, glycogen granules
Sarcolemma
Cell Membrane
Sarcoplasm
Cytoplasm
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Endoplasmic Reticulum, Longitudinal tubes with enlarged ends called terminal cisternae, concentrates and sequesters Ca2+
Regulatory Proteins
Tropomyosin, Troponin
Accessory Proteins
Titin, Nebulin
Nebulin
actin builds around
Tropomyosin
wraps around actin, blocks from myosin
Troponin
binds tropomyosin to G-actin, 3 parts
T-tubules
extension of the cell membrane that is associated with the ends of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Detachment
ATP binds and myosin detaches, ATP decreases myosin affinity for actin
Recocking
ATP hydrolysis provides energy for the myosin head to rotate and reattach actin
Power Stroke
- Response to Ca2+ binding to troponin
- Release of Pi allows the head to swivel
Rigor State
occurs when no ATP/ADP is bound to myosin
ACh
initiates an action potential in the muscle fiiber, binds ot receptors on the sarcolemma, Na2+ enters the cell and K+ ions exits the cell, Depolarization event
L-type calcium channel (DHP)
receptor on t-tubule
Ryanodine Receptors (RyR)
sarcoplasmic reticulum
