Q

events at the neuromuscular junction

A

1) calcium enters the axon terminal
2) calcium causes acetycholine to be released
3) Acetylcholine crosses the synaptic cleft and diffuses across the sarcolemma
4) Sarcolemma becomes more permeable and sodium rushes in while potassium rushes out
5) action potential spreads down the cell as sodium rushes in
6) acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine ending the process

Q

cross bridge cycle

A

1) Calcium is released from sarcoplasmic reticulum
2) Calcium causes the tropomyosin to change position on the actin revealing places for the mysoin heads to attach
3) a cross bridge is formed as the mysoin heads attach to the actin
4) myosin performs a power stroke pulling the actin
5) cross bridge detaches
6) ATP re-cocks the mysosin
