Q

What structure stores calcium?

A

sarcoplasmic reticulum

32
Q

What is the second messenger that starts the excitation contraction coupling process?

A

Ca+

33
Q

Ca+ binds to…

A

troponinC

34
Q

contraction step one

A

tight binding in the rigor state. The crossbridge is at a 45 degree angle relative to the filaments

35
Q

contraction step two

A

ATP binds to nucleotide-binding site on myosin. myosin then dissasociates from actin

36
Q

contraction step three

A

the ATPase activity of myosin hydrolyzes the ATP to ADP and inorganic phosphate. both products remain bound to myosin

37
Q

contraction step four

A

the myosin head swings over and binds weakly to a new actin molecule. the cross bridge is now at 90 degrees relative to the filaments

38
Q

contraction step five

A

release of P initiates the power stroke. in the power stroke the myosin head rotates on its hinge, pushing the associated actin filament past it

39
Q

contraction step six

A

at the end of the power stroke, the myosin head releases the ADP and resumes the tightly bound rigor state

40
Q

What are the 3 types of muscle contraction

A
  • isometric
  • isotonic
  • isokinetic
41
Q

isometric

A

constant length

42
Q

isotonic meaning

A

constant tension

43
Q

isotonic 2 types

A

concentric - shortening
eccentric - lengthening

44
Q

isokinetic

A

constant velocity

45
Q

force-velocity curve

A

you have the max force when velocity is zero

46
Q

no velocity

A
  • isometric
  • force = Po
47
Q

positive velocity

A
  • concentric force
  • force < Po
48
Q

negative velocity

A
  • eccentric force
  • force > Po
49
Q

effects of strength training on force-velocity curve

A

Vmax is not changing but the force is changing

50
Q

strength of muscle contraction depends on…

A
  • size of muscle
  • number and size of motor units recruited
  • number and size of fibers within the motor unit
  • total amount of contractile protein
  • amount of force per individual actin-myosin (crossbridge) interaction
  • fraction of crossbridges bound and producing force
51
Q

motor unit =

A

one motor neuron and all the fibers innervated by that neuron

52
Q

one AP induces ____ fibers within that motor unit to contract

A

all

53
Q

all fibers within that motor unit are the _________

A

same type

54
Q

smaller motor units are for…

A

fine motor skills and are low force contractions

55
Q

larger motor units are for more….

A

crude, gross movements, high force

56
Q

motor units are activated via the…

A

size principle

57
Q

size principle

A

small units are recruited first, then larger ones

58
Q

which fiber type will be recruited first according to the size principle?

A
  1. slow type 1
  2. fast fatigue resistant type 2a
  3. fast fatiguable type 2x and 2b
59
Q

is there is not enough thick and thin filament overlap what will happen to muscle contraction?

A

there wont be a lot of force because the sarcomere is too stretched out

60
Q

length - tension curve

A

lose ability to generate force when too stretched or compressed

61
Q

power =

A

force x velocity

62
Q

what is passive tension

A

relaxed muscle is elastic, force is required to stretch it

63
Q

what contributes to passive tension?

A

connective tissue
titin (elasticity)

64
Q

What are some calcium handling mechanisms

A
  • twitch process
  • ryanodine
  • dihydropyridine
  • SERCA
65
Q

dihydropyridine

A

located in sarcolema
voltage gated Ca+ channel

66
Q

ryanodine

A

connects to dihydropyridine and releases Ca+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum

67
Q

SERCA

A

reuptakes Ca+ to sarcoplasmic reticulum and helps to maintain concentration gradient

68
Q

force parameter

A

peak twitch tension (Pt)

69
Q

velocity parameters

A
  • contraction time (CT)
  • relaxation time (RT)
  • one-half relaxation time (1/2 RT)
70
Q

fusion of twitches to make ______-

A

tetanus

71
Q

single stimulus

A

Ca+ rises to near saturating levels, but since contraction is slow, force does not reach maximal

72
Q

multiple stimuli

A

calcium stays high long enough for force to reach maximal

73
Q

what ca+ release systems are responsible for actomyosin contraction

A
  • excitation contraction coupling
  • DHPR
    -RYR
  • sarcoplasmic reticulum
  • calsequestrin (holds Ca+)
74
Q

What is the main Ca removal system we need to know?

A
  • SERCA
75
Q

explain SERCA methods

A
  • 2 Ca+ ions into the SR for each ATP hydrolyzed
  • uses 20% of ATP in muscle
76
Q

control mechanisms of SERCA

A
  • sarcolipin (SLN)
  • phospholamban (PLN)
  • myoregulin (MLN)
77
Q

why can SERCA be modulated?

A

you can stop Ca+ from moving into the SR but SERCA can still use ATP up because the by product is heat. Shivering to stay warm is example of why our body does this
