Q

Skeletal muscles are composed of

A

Skeletal muscle tissue
Nervous tissue
Blood
Connective tissue

17
Q

About connective tissue of muscle

A

Connective tissue coverings over skeletal muscles!

*Fascia-thin covering of connective tissue around a muscle

Tendon- Cord-like mass of connective tissue that connects muscle to bone

Aponeurosis-Sheet like mass of connective tissue that connects a muscle to bone , skin, or another muscle

18
Q

Connective tissue in and closely surrounding a muscle

A

Epimysium: Surrounds whole muscle;lies beneath fascia

Perimysium: Surrounds fascicles within a muscle
Endomysium: Surrounds muscle fibers (cells) with a fascicle

19
Q

About Skeletal Muscle Fibers

A

Multinucleated

Sarcolemma: Cell Membrane of muscle fiber
Sarcoplasm: Cytoplasm of muscle fiber

Many myofibrils:
Long , parallel structures that run down
Consists of thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments
Sarcomeres:Units that connect end to end , to make up myofibrils

20
Q

More about Skeletal Muscles Fibers

A
  • Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR) : Endoplasmic reticulum of muscle;stores calcium

*Transverse ( T) Tubule : Relays electrical impulses to the SR

*Triad: Unit consisting of 1 tubule and SR cisternae

21
Q

Skeletal Muscle Fiber Structure

A

Myofibrils consists of sarcomeres connected end to end.

Striation pattern is made by arrangement of myofilaments in myofibrils

22
Q

A sarcomere consists of these structures

A

I band: Light band, composed of thin actin filaments.

A band: Dark band ; composed of thick myosin filaments with portions overlapped with thin actin filaments.

H zone: Center of A band; composed of thick myosin filaments
Z line ( Z disc); Sarcomere boundary; in center of I band anchors filaments in place
M line : Center of sarcomere and A band ; anchors thick filaments

23
Q

Thin and Thick Filaments in muscle fibers

A

Thick filaments:
Composed of myosin protein
Heads form cross-bridges with thin filaments

Thin filaments
*Composed of actin protein
* Associated with troponin and tropomyosin . Which prevent cross bridge forms when muscles is not contracting

24
Q

Skeletal Muscle contraction

A

Requires interaction from several chemical and cellular components.

Results from a movement within the myofibrils, in which the actin and myosin filaments slide past each other, shortening the sarcomeres

Muscle fiber shortens and pulls on attachment points.

25
Q

Neuromuscular Juno ( NMJ)

A

*A type of synapse

*Site where an axon of motor neuron and skeletal muscle fiber interact.

*Skeletal muscle fibers only contract when stimulated by a motor neuron

26
Q

Parts of a Neuromuscular Junction

A

Motor Neuron : Neuron that controls skeletal muscle fiber.

Motor end plate: Specialized folded portion of skeletal muscle fiber ,where fiber binds to neurotransmitter

Synaptic Cleft: Space between neuron and muscle fiber, across which neurotransmitter travels.

Synaptic Vesicles : Membrane bound sacs containing neurotransmitter

Neurotransmitters: Chemicals released by motor neuron to deliver message to muscle fiber.

27
Q

Neuromuscular Junction Excitation

A

Acetylcholine ( ACh) is the neurotransmitter.

Nerve impulse ( action potentials) causes release of ACh from synaptic vesicles in the motor neuron.

ACh binds to ACh receptors on motor end plate.

ACh causes changes in membrane permeability to sodium and potassium ions, which generates a muscle impulse(action potential)

  • Impulse cause release of calcium ion from sarcoplasmic reticulum, which leads to muscle contractions
28
Q

Myasthenia Gravis (MG)

A

An autoimmune disorder

Antibodies attack acetylcholine
receptors on skeletal muscle fibers ( motor end plates) in neuromuscular junctions.

Persons may have only one third normal number of ACh receptors

Leads to widespread muscle weakness and muscle fatigue

Treatments:
Drugs that inhibit acetylcholinesterase (an enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine and removes it from acetylcholine receptors)

Immunosuppressants drugs
Administering antibiotics that inactivate harmful antibodies
Plasma exchange

29
Q

Muscular dystrophy

A

Deficiency or abnormality/mutation in scarce muscle protein called dystrophin

Binds to internal side of muscle cell membranes, and holds them together during concentration

In absence of normal dystrophin , cell lose normal structure and die

30
Q

Clostridium Botulinum

A

Anaerobic bacteria that produce a toxin that prevents the release of ACh from the pre-synaptic neuron at the neuromuscular junction.

Grows in food that is not properly preserved

If ACh is not released from the neuron at the NMJ, what symptoms will occur?
Digestive, muscular, respiratory symptoms

Treated with an antitoxin
Used in small doses as Botox to smooth wrinkles, treat migraines

31
Q

Excitation-contraction Coupling

A

Connection between muscle fiber stimulation and muscle contraction.

32
Q

During muscle relaxation

A

Ca+2 ions are stored in SR
Troponin tropomyosin complex’s cover binding sites on actin filaments

33
Q

Upon muscle stimulation

A

Action potentials cause SR to release Ca +2 ions into cytosol
Ca+2 ion bonds to troponin to change its shape
Each tropomyosin is held in place by a troponin molecule; change in shape of troponin alters the position of tropomyosin, exposing the binding sites on actin
Myosin heads bind to actin, forming cross bridges

34
Q

Sliding Filament Model of Muscle contraction

A

When sarcomeres shorten , thick and thin filaments slide past each other

H zones and I bands narrow

Z lines move closer together

Thin and thick filaments do not change length

Overlap between filaments increases

35
Q

Order of events in Cross-Bridge Cycling

A

1) Myosin head attaches to actin binding site , forming cross bridge

2)Myosin cross bridge pulls thin filament toward center of sarcomere

3). ADP and phosphate are released from myosin

4)New ATP binds to Myosin

5). Linkage between actin and myosin cross bridge break

6) ATP splits

7). Myosin cross bridge goes back to original postion , ready to bind to another binding site actin

36
Q

Relaxation of muscles

A

When neural stimulation of muscle fiber stops:
Acetylcholinesterase enzyme rapidly decomposes ACH remaining in the synapse

Muscle impulse stops when ACh is decomposed

Stimulus to sarcolemma and muscle fiber membrane ceases

Calcium pump ( requires ATP) moves

Ca+2back into sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)

Troponin tropomyosin complex again covers binding sites on actin

Myosin and actin binding are now prevented
Muscle fiber relaxes

37
Q

ATP reserves

A

First source of energy for muscle contraction
Muscle cells store only a small amount

38
Q

Creatine Phosphate

A

Initial source of energy to regenerate ATP from ADP and P
Stores energy in phosphate bond like ATP
ATP + creatine phosphate can only fuel 10 seconds of intense muscle contraction

39
Q

Cellular respiration

A

Must be used to fuel longer periods of muscle contraction
Breaks down glucose to produce ATP
Glucose stored as glycogen in muscle cells
