Chapter Eight Flashcards
Muscle fiber is covered by
A plasma membrane called, sarcolemma
Singular skeletal muscle is a
Muscle fiber
T-tubules
Bring AP into center of the muscle fibers
Muscle fiber (five points)
-regenerates due to own nucleus
-contains a lot of mitochondria
-glycogen reserves
-sarcoplasmic reticulum
-protein structures make up contractile units
Glycogen reserves breaks down to create
Glucose
Sarcoplasmic reticulum acts similar to the
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
-as it stores Ca in terminal cisternae
Calcium is very important for…?
Contractions
Striated muscle fiber
Unique self organized proteins, creating light and dark areas -due to sacromere
-contractile protein
Sarcolemma
Plasma membrane of the muscle cell
Sarcomere
Basic contractile unit of a muscle fiber
Contractile proteins
-form filaments
-myosin and actin
Myosin
-thick filament
-2 identical monomers
head needs ATP and then binds to actin
Actin
-thin filament
-globular molecule
Cross bridge
Myosin binding to actin
Regulatory proteins
-tropomyosin
-troponin
Tropomyosin
Covers actins binding site until calcium is released
Troponin
Binds to Calcium to expose active site of actin
-moves the tropomyosin off of the actin
Accessory proteins
Nebulin and titin
nebulin
Runs through thin filaments to stabilize
-largest chain
Titin
Runs through thick filaments to stabilize
Dystrophin
Attaches entire sarcolemma
Muscular dystrophy
Missing the protein dystrophin
Contraction
Muscle shortening
-Z line closer to the middle
Where does contraction begin
At neuromuscular junction
-excited by ACH
-graded
-AP
Contraction: SER and T tubules release
CALCIUM
SER and t tubule receptors
Both has four “button like” receptors that match up
SER receptors
Ryanodinic receptors
-foot receptors
T tubule receptors
Dihydropyridine receptor (DHP)
Ryanodinic receptors function
Calcium release channels
-zip together with DHP receptors
DHP stands for
Dihydropyridine receptor
DHP receptor
Voltage gated sensors
-releases calcium into cytosol
Released calcium during contraction allows
Troponin to bind to the calcium, and then move the tropomyosin to reveal the actin
After tromopyosin is removed….
A cross bridge is formed (myosin binds to actin)
Power stroke
Myosin pulling the actin inward
What is released during a power stroke
Pi
What is released after a power stroke
ADP
Role of ATP in contraction
ATP binds to myosin cross bridge, breaking linkage between actin and myosin
Formation
ADP and Pi
Deformation
ATp—-> Pi
-released
Sliding filament
Increase of calcium allows thin filaments together
Sliding filament pulls what bands together
-I band
-Z lines
-H band
Sliding filament parts that doesn’t change
-m line
-A band
Process of relaxation: acetylcholinersterae does what?
Breaks down ACH @ neurotransmitter
Relaxation process: once acetylcholinesterae breaks down ACH…
Muscle fiber AP stops
Relaxation process: muscle fiber AP stops then….
Calcium moves back into SER by ATP
Through calcium ATPase pump
Relaxation process: after calcium stops….
Tropomyosin turns “off”
-covers actin site
Relaxation process: once tropomyosin covers actin site
Cross bridge stops
Rigor mortis
Stiffens upon death, locking of muscles in place
-there is no ATP as metabolism stops
If calcium cannot be released it causes
Stiffening
Twitch summation
Sustained elevation of cystolic calcium
-form of temporal summation
Twitch summation and tetanus
Muscle fiber sustained temporal summation
-continous contraction
Tetanus
Force/tension
-a continous contraction
“Bad” tetanus infection
Infects body and disables neuron function, blocks GABA
Symptoms: spasms due to lack of relaxation
Muscle length
Creates force for muscle movement
Optimal length
The best cross bridge formation
-lots of power strokes
-L zero
Isotonic contractions
-equal stretch
-same lengthening, same shortening
-force and movement
Two types of isotonic
-concentric and esecentric
Concentric-isotonic contractions
Muscle flexion, towards center
Escentric-isotonic contractions
Away from, lengthening/extension
-most common move for injury
Isometric contractions
-equal measurement
-force, no movement
Example- yoga, plank or Pilates
Types of muscle fibers
-slow oxidative
-fast oxidative
-fast glycolytic
Liver breaks down glycogen turning it into
Glucose
What is the main source of energy
Glucose
Creatine phosphate mobilizes
energystores as creatine kinase
Energystores are
-creatine
-releases phosphate to create ATP
When is creatine phosphate formed
When muscle is at rest
Moving muscle and creatine phosphate
First few minutes is breaking phosphate to release ATP
What are examples in which energystores are mobilized
Sprint and speed
Creatine supplement
affects the GI and dehydrates
-weight gain
Glycolysis
First step of glucose breakdown
2 ATP are produced
Aerobic -glycolysis
Oxygen used!
-creates pyruvic acid
-into the kreb cycle
Oxidative phosphorylation
-citric acid cycle
-electron transport
Anaerobic
-no use of oxygen
-back into body
Lactic acid production
Citric acid cycle
Needs oxygen
Electron transport
Needs oxygen!!
Fatty acids…
Enter straight into the kreb cycle
Myoglobin
Creates red colour
White fiber vs red fiber
Slow oxidative (type 1 fiber)
Slow: twitches, contractile, ATP usage, Calcium release
-Used frequently
-all three cycles
-produces a lot of ATP
-alot of: mitochondria, blood vessels, O2, myoglobin
-less fatigue
Fast-oxidative (type11a fiber)
Fast: twitches, contractile cycle, calcium release
-fast usage of ATP
-occasionally used
-all three cycles
-produces a lot of ATP
-a lot of: mitochondria, blood vessels, oxygen, myoglobin
-less fatigue
Fast-glycolytic (type 11x)
Fast: twitches, contractile cycle, calcium release, ATP usage
-occasionally used
-oxygen or not
-few: mitochondria, blood vessels, O2, myoglobin
-fatigue more (less ATP produced)
Example of slow-oxidative
Posture, walking, standing
Muscles require
ATP
Muscle fatigue
No longer responds to stimulations with some degree of contractile
Central fatigue
-CNS
-psychological (mind/matter)
-abnormality in CNS due to monotomy
-something wrong with somatic motor neuron
Monotomy
Same over and over
-not necessarily strenuous
-assembly line
Peripheral fatigue
-NMJ is vulnerable
-at the SR and T tubules
-build up of lactic acid or lack of ATP
-depleted glucose
Optimal muscle length
Thin filaments optimally overlap regions of thick filament, giving maximal cross bridges to be formed
-Maximal force can be achieved on a contraction
-more tension can be achieved during tetanus
EPOC stands for
Excess post-exercise oxygen consumption
EPOC function
Breath heavily to bring in O2
-removes lactic acid
-creates more ATP by inc of glycolysis
Muscular dystrophy
Males>females
-genetic (carried in X chromosome)
Symptom: cannot walk, deformities, fatal
Muscular dystrophy reason
Lacking protein gene as distrophin
-attaches sacromere to sarcolemma
-move/shorten will cause deformation
Treatment for muscular dystrophy
Genetic therapy
Basal nuclei
Cerebellum
Skilled, fine movements
Thalamus
Brain stem
Spinal cord
Muscle spindle
-skeletal muscle receptors
-controls stretch/overdoing any action
Gamma motor
From CNS
-wraps around middle portion
Intrafusal
-CNS
-gamma motor neuron sends to intrafusual
-determining how much stretch
Extrafusul
-from CNS
-to alpha motor neuron
-extra fusul Myofibrils
-to NMJ
