Q

H Zone

A

zone of just myosin
distance between actin filaments
in very center of sarcomere
cross section- myosin only, no actin overlap, part of A band

20
Q

Thin Filament Actin-Associated Proteins

A 
tropomyosin (covers myosin binding site)
troponin C (binds calcium), T (binds tropomyosin), and I (inhibits myosin binding)
21
Q

Muscle Contractile Protein (Myosin II)

A

2 heavy chains (bind to thin filament)
2 light chains
2 regulatory chins
actin binding protein- binds actin to form cross-bridges
mechanoenzyme- ATPase- hydrolyzes ATP- uses energy to detach crossbridges

22
Q

Muscle Structure Proteins

A

provide proper alignment, elasticity and extensibility
titin, myomesin, nebulin, alpha actin, dystrophin (protein wrong in MS)
3 classes of intermediate filaments- desmin, vimentin and synemin (btw myofibrils)
cap z- caps ends of a ctin filaments (adjacent to Z disc)
actinin- anchors a-actin at Z disc
titin- starts at z line and binds to thick filament- acts as spring
myomesin- attaches myosin thick filaments at M line

23
Q

Muscle Contraction (zones)

A

Z disc moves toward A band
H band and I band decrease in width as a result of increased myosin/actin cross bridges
A band remains same width

24
Q

Power Stroke

A

binding of myosin to actin- releases ADP- pulls actin towards - end, + end anchored to Z disc
brings Z discs closer- shortens sarcomere
NO ENERGY EXPENDED

25
Releasing Actin
myosin head binds to ATP to release actin (ATP not hydrolyzed)
26
Re-cocking Mysoin Head
hydolysis of ATP recocks myson head | ADP still remains attached until myosin binds with actin again
27
Location of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
junction between A and I bands of sarcomere
28
Neuromuscular Junction
synaptic connection between neurons and muscle one neuromuscular junction per skeletal muscle fiber regardless of fiber length one nerve fiber can innervate multiple muscle fibers all muscle fibers innervated by one nerve fiber are called a motor unit
29
Acetylcholine
neurotrasmitter involved in contraction end synaptic bulbs contain synaptic vesicles with ACh motor end plate membrane contains receptors when ACh binds, opens ligand-gated Na channels in the cell membrane. Na ions then enter the muscle cell, initiating depolarization that results Ca release into the sarcoplasm and muscle contraction
30
Binding Myosin to Actin
Ca binding to troponin C moves complex off myosin binding site- allows myosin head to bind to actin
31
Cardiac Muscle (general properties/ differences from skeletal muscle)
striated, involuntary, self propagating, regulated by autonomic nervous system nuclei are centrally located individual muscle cells are separated by thick black lines called intercalated discs with gap junctions (fascia adherens on transverse, macula adherenes desmosomes on verticle)- allow for direct communication of ions b/t adjacent cells cells branch no mitosis hypertrophy in response to demand T tubules exist at Z lines, in apposition to only one cisterna more mitochondria
32
Smooth Muscle (general properties/ differences from skeletal muscle)
single fusiform cells central nucleus no striations no clear indication of communication appear in layers surrounding lumen dense plaques contain contractile proteins and intermediate filaments invagination like caveolae instead of T-tubles hyperplasia and hyepertrophy in response to demand mitosis and regeneration occur surrounded by reticular fibers (type III collagen) pinocytotic vesicles low in SR
33
Dense Bodies
sites of attachment of smooth muscle contractile fibers (actin and myosin)with each other and with the basement membrane contain alpha actinin + allow for cork skrew contraction
34
Smooth Muscle Contraction
intracellular Ca enters cytoplasm from extracellular environment or from voltage gated channels activated by depolarization or can be released by SR via various hormones and transmitters (2nd messenger systems) Ca binds to calmodulin, which binds to myosin light chain kinase complex uses energy to phosphorylate myosin light chains, which liberates actin binding sites on myosin contraction terminated by phosphatases nervous control by autonomics (hormones can lead to contraction- ex oxycytosin leads to uterine contraction) intermediate filaments are required
35
Axon Terminals for Smooth Muscle
varicosities with vesicles of neurotransmitter exists at various points along axon terminal released neurotransmitter has an influence on smooth muscle cells in the area
36
Visceral Type Smooth Muscle
sheets of smooth muscle working in coordination peristalsis gut, uterus sparse innervation extensive gap junctions waves of contraction propagate through muscle nerves influence, but role of nerves modest
37
Multiunit Type Smooth Muscle
precise and rapid contraction smooth muscle of eye, arrector pili heavily innervated
38
Myoepithelial Cells
derived from epithelium near glands, help with movement of secretions reside in basement membrane of epithelium have actin, myosin, are contractile
39
Organization of Connective Tissue (large to small)
epimysium (muscle)--> perimysium (fasicle) --> endomysium (fiber)
40
Muscle Regulatory Proteins
turn on and off contraction troponin complex, tropomyosin, myosin light chain kinase (smooth muscle only) troponin I binds to actin and inhibits myosin binding protein troponin C- binds to calcium troponin T- binds to tropomyosin
41
Muscle Contraction Order of Events
Ca in cytoplasm binds to troponin C--> pulls tropomyosin away exposing the myosin binding site--> myosin binds to actin causes release of ADP from the head of the myosin molecule--> conformational change (stroke) to M line (minus side) (plus end anchored to z disk- pulls 2 z disks together) Note- no energy used for the process yet new ATP comes onto myosin--> myosin head released--> hydrolysis of ATP to ADP (energy used BUT phosphorus remains attached until myosin head binds with actin again--> recocking of myosin head (backwards towards + end/z disc) --> kicks back, cycle can begin again
42
Rigor Mortis
no ATP present begins 3-4 hrs after death all ATP used up and sarcoplasmic reticulum stars leaking Ca lasts 2-3 days until proteins break down
43
Motor Unit
group of muscle fibers innervated by one nerve fiber
44
Motor Plate
specialization of sarcolemma in contact with axon terminal (highly folded)
45
Intercallated discs
thick black lines separating muscle cells (zig zag) transverse portions have fascia adherence (broad desmosomes) vertical portions have true desposomes and gap junctions-->communication of ions between adjacent cells-->electrical behavior like syncytium (connected cells of skeletal muscle
46
Duchene's Muscular Dystrophy
X linked | actin binding protein (dystrophin) missing --> muscles fall apart due to decreased binding
47
Mysthenia Gravis
condition of neuromuscular junction | attacks acetylcholine receptor
