50
Q

what does troponin do

A

interact with calcium to regulate tropomyosin’s position of blocking of actin-myosin interaction

51
Q

when calcium moves tropomyosin away, actin and myosin=

A

cross bridge and power stroke begins

52
Q

holds thick filaments in place and are extensible. composed of protein= titan

A

elastic filament

53
Q

Helps Muscle cell spring back into shape after stretching

A

elastic filament

54
Q

Stiffens as Uncoils to Resist Excessive Stretch. Largest Protein in Humans.

A

elastic filament

55
Q

Links Thin Filaments to Integral Proteins on Sarcolemma

A

dystrophin

56
Q

Mechanical Support to keep Sarcolemma Intact, NO Calcium Leak

A

dystrophin

57
Q

defective gene (sex linked recessive)=

A

duchenne muscular dystrophy

58
Q

S&S of duchenne muscular dystrophy

A

Frequent Falls, NOT rise from Lying/Sitting, Waddling Gait, Walk on toes

59
Q

treatment for duchenne muscular dystrophy

A

to sustain mobility & Respiratory function. OT, PT.
Steroids
no cure

60
Q

when do people with duchenne muscular dystrophy usually die

A

in 30s, respiratory failure

61
Q

weakening if skeletal muscles and adipose is what

A

duchenne muscular dystrophy

62
Q

when are you Dx for duchenne muscular dystrophy, and due to what

A

at birth

due to elevated CK levels, genetic tests

63
Q

what does elevated CK levels indicate

A

damage to muscle fibers

64
Q

in duchenne muscular dystrophy what tears during contraction and excessive calcium enters and damages contractile fibers

A

sarcolemma

65
Q

does the muscle regenerate in duchenne muscular dystrophy

66
Q

muscle fiber’s PM
transmits electrical impulses to muscle interior

A

sarcolemma

67
Q

tubelike infold of sarcolemma.
carry electrical impulses into center or muscle fiber- every muscle fiber sarcomere contracts together

A

transverse tubules

68
Q

SER in skeletal muscle fibers that store calcium

A

sarcoplasmic retuculum

69
Q

temrinal cisternae- t tubule- terminal cisternae

70
Q

nervous stimulation

A

quick response

71
Q

motor neuron does what

A

message to muscle; voltage regulated calcium channels open and influx

72
Q

where do muscular contractions meet

A

neuromuscular junction

73
Q

ACh released from vesicles at synapse

A

stimulation

74
Q

what diffuses across synaptic cleft and binds to receptors

75
Q

muscular contraction stimulates what release

76
Q

Na release and depolarization past threshold generate

A

action potential

77
Q

action potential goes along sarcolemma and down what

78
Q

calcium release from

A

sarcoplasmic reticulum

79
Q

what binds troponin

80
Q

binding of calcium on troponin causes

A

conformational change

81
Q

after the conformational change

A

troponin attaches to tropomyosin

82
Q

after troponin attaches to tropomyosin what happens

A

tropomyosin moves no longer locking actin and myosin

83
Q

once tropomyosin moves

A

actin and myosin interact

84
Q

once actin and myosin interact

A

myosin pulls actin to center of sarcomere

85
Q

after myosin pulls actin to the center of the sarcomere

A

it shortens sarcomere length and muscle fiber length

86
Q

once sarcomere and muscle fiber length shorten what happens

A

Ca goes back to SR

87
Q

once Ca goes back to SR

A

troponin and tropomyosin go back to resting position

88
Q

power stroke steps

A
  1. myosin head cocks into position
  2. myosin binds to actin
  3. power stroke (push actin)
  4. detach from actin and new atp binds
  5. repeat
