Chapter 6 Review Flashcards

1
Q

How do cells of the three types of muscle tissues differ from one another anatomically?

A

Skeletal muscle fibers are long multi-nucleate cells with striations. Cardiac cells are branching, typically uni-nucleate cells with less striations. Smooth muscle cells are spindle shaped, uni-nucleate and non-striated.

Q

How do the movements provided by skeletal muscle differ from those promoted by smooth or cardiac muscle?

A

Skeletal muscle movements can be very forceful & rapid , whereas smooth muscle movements tend to be slow and rhythmic.

Q

Neuromuscular junction

A

A nerve impulse reaches the axon terminal of a motor neuron. CA2+ channels open and calcium enters the axon terminal. Calcium entry causes vesicles to release their contents (ach) via exocytosis. ACH diffused into the synaptic cleft & binds to receptors (voltage-gated channels) in the sarcolemma (muscle cell membrane) opening them. This opening of the voltage-gated channels causes the simultaneous passage of NA+ into the muscle and K+ our of the muscle. This change in electrical conditions (depolarization) leads to a second action potential which is propagated down the T tubules. This causes calcium to be released by the endoplasmic reticulum onto the filaments. Calcium binds to troponin causing tropomyosin to slide out of the binding sites on actin. Charged Myosin heads bind to actin causing a power stroke. (The sliding of actin). A new molecule of ADP re-charges the myosin heads allowing them to unbind and move back into position. Enzymes break down ACH in the synaptic cleft and calcium is reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum causing the muscle to relax.

Q

What is the role of calcium ions during skeletal muscle contraction?

A

Calcium enters the axon terminal causing the release of acetylcholine and it also is released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum causing the release of tropomyosing from the actin binding sites.

60
Q

Gastrocnemius

A

two bellied calf muscle (allows us to stand on our toes)

61
Q

Soleus

A

large muscle on the back of your lower leg but deep to the gastrocnemius. Can be seen lower near the heal.

62
Q

What is myasthenia gravis? How is this different from the effects of botox on muscles?

A

Myasthenia gravis is a rare but long-term condition that causes muscle weakness. Caused by an interruption at the neuromuscular junction where the immune system has damaged the receptors that ACH binds to. Botox on the other hand prevents ACH from being released by the vesicles. The receptors on the sarcolemma are not affected.
