63
Q

If we need to build something new and its far away on the other side of the neuron, you can transport it down the axon and it looks like

A

Train tracks with carts. Nucleus builds proteins, load it in cart, and wheel it down the neuron to where they are needed.

64

A

4; regulatory; essential; light.

70
Q

In skeletal muscle, _____ don’t do too much, but their activity can alter the myosin head in different types of muscle, but these chains will be phosphorylated in _________

A

Regulatory. smooth muscle.

71
Q

Which chains provide ATP?

A

Essential chains on myosin head

72
Q

Most superficial chain on myosin head

A

Essential chain

73
Q

Myosin head has affinity for

A

active binding sites on f-actin filament strand

74
Q

Does myosin head burn ATP?

A

yes, it has ATPase activity.

75
Q

Which filament possesses active sites?

A

Actin

76
Q

The actin filament strands are interwoven fibers that consist of

A

1 strand being f-actin, 1 being tropomyosin.

77
Q

Tropomyosin acts as

A

a shield, oriented in a way to block myosin heads from binding to active sites on f-actin strand.

78
Q

How is the shielding of tropomyosin moved in order to bind myosin heads?

A

3 troponin proteins that are bound to f-actin and tropomyosin strand at an intersection.

79
Q

3 troponin molecules that bind to actin strand and tropomyosin

A

Troponin-T,I, and C

80
Q

Troponin bound to F-actin?

A

Troponin-I

81
Q

Troponin bound to Tropomyosin?

A

Troponin-T

82
Q

Troponin bound to I and T, that allows calcium to bind to it?

A

Troponin C

83
Q

How many binding sites does troponin C have for calcium?

A

4

84
Q

When calcium binds to troponin C, it takes other 2 troponins and

A

twists them, which moves tropomyosin out of the way to loosen/unravel strand a little bit, exposing active sites to myosin head and allowing it to bind and contract muscle.

85
Q

Myosin head has 2 orientations

A

One that is cocked and ready to go, and the other one is more relaxed and needs energy to reset itself.

86
Q

drawing characteristics of Myosin head thats capable of binding to active site, cocked and ready to go

A

stretched spring from head to filament, ADP and Pi is bound, and head is ready

87
Q

drawing characteristics of Myosin head thats awaiting ATP and is not ready to bind

A

Spring is much tighter, head is pulled back, awaiting for ATP which is floating around near.

88
Q

Once ATP makes contact with myosin head, it will bind and

A

metabolizes into ADP and Pi, and use the energy thats liberated to put tension on myosin head.

89
Q

Resting and healthy skeletal muscle should have myosin head in what state?

A

Cocked and ready to go!

90
Q

During resting states when muscle isnt active, actin sites are

A

hidden and myosin head has nothing to bind to.

91
Q

Adding calcium to inside of skeletal muscle will allow

A

Troponin-C is bound, unraveling actin, myosin head binds, and releases the phosphate, the tension in the head uses the stored tension and pulls on actin molecule, which brings ends of sarcomere closer together, contracting the muscle and ADP falls off. Myosin molecule now has neither ADP or Pi, and now stuck until ATP binds to it, then it can release from actin filament and reset for next cycle.

92
Q

What do we need to release myosin head from actin molecule after contraction?

A

ATP to bind to it.

93
Q

What happens if ATP doesnt bind to release myosin head?

A

Muscle will be stiff. This is why rigor mortis happens.

94
Q

What happens once ATP is bound and myosin head is released?

A

Metabolized into ADP and Pi, restoring tension and cocking the head. Now ready to look for next active site.

95
Q

vast majority of motor neurons innervate more than

A

1 skeletal muscle cell, thats why there is a branching pattern of the motor neurons with multiple NMJ

96
Q

What determines how much force a muscle can generate?

A

Correct amount of stretch of muscle.

97
Q

If we have an overstretched sarcomere, how much force will there be?

A

Either none or very very minimal. No actual real examples, muscles dont stretch this much. but in theory…

98
Q

If we have an understretched muscle, there will be

A

less force generated because theres not alot of shortening.

99
Q

B and C on graph.. what is gonna generate the most force?

A

C cause its just a little bit longer than B

100
Q

In “normal anatomy” the muscles will be

A

held in place at an OPTIMAL stretch point

101
Q

How do the heart sarcomeres compare to the rest of our muscles?

A

Typically understretched, between point A and B. Just below optimal.

102
Q

Do average people have understretched muscles and do they need to stretch?

A

No… Professional athletes may have to because they have overdeveloped muscles.

But to perform optimally, yes muscles should be stretched.

103
Q

If your achilles tears and you have to have a surgery that fixes it by overlapping it, what happens? How can we avoid this?

A

Makes it shorter, less than optimal, so now the muscle will be overstretched and the muscle it connects to wont be as strong.

You can do a surgery using a cadaver tendon, but these procedures are extremely expensive and typically used for professional athletes that can afford it.

104
Q

What length of sarcomere is ideal according to the chart on lecture and how much percent tension is developed?

A

100%, 2 micrometers.

105
Q

Increasing venous return to heart will cause sarcomeres to

A

become a bit more overstretched than they previously were. We can tolerate it this because at baseline theyre a little understretched, and adding filling pressure will make it perform better.

106
Q

Frank-starling mechanism

A

Force of contraction is directly dependent on stretch of heart muscle. Cardiac output is roughly equal to venous return.

107
Q

Passive tension means

A

stretch

108
Q

Active tension

A

muscle contraction

109
Q

total tension is

A

Passive + active tension

110
Q

What is going to generate the most tension in the muscle?

A

Combining both active and passive tension
