Q

neuromuscular junction

A

see image
skeletal muscles innervated by somatic motor neurons (GSE)
lower motor neuron exits spinal cord via ventral root and sends action potential to axon terminal where Ach stimulates muscle fiber at the junction
each muscle fiber only has 1 junction

AP travels toward the axon terminal
voltage-gated Ca+2 channels open
Ca+2 enters the cell and cause synaptic vessels to move and fuse with the membrane
Ach released into the synapse
Ach binds to ion channels on sarcolemma that allow Na and K movement
-Na influx and K efflux
-more Na moves than K causing local depolarization
-excites voltage-gated Na channels
Na enters the cell along a gradient, fires off AP
repolarization via Na channels close and K channels open
enzyme acetylcholinesterase in sarcolemma destroys Ach to stop signal

Q

excitation-contraction coupling

A

the process by which AP leads to sliding of myofilaments
AP propagates along sarcolemma to t-tubule
tubule protein change shape and cause SR to release Ca+2 from terminal cisternae into the sarcoplasm
Ca+2 binds to troponin and changes shape, removing
tropomyosin block

Q

cross-bridge cycle

A

myosin heads attach to actin, forms cross-bridge
ADP and Pi attached to myosin
Powerstroke: ADP and Pi release initiating Powerstroke
-myosin head swivels, pulling actin toward the center
cross-bridge detachment: binding site for ATP exposed
-ATP binds to myosin heads and breaks cross-bridge
cocking of myosin head:
-ATP is hydrolyzed
-energy stored in the myosin head
-myosin heads re-cocks to high energy position
the cycle continues as long as Ca+2 and ATP are present
