Q

What is the action of actin and myosin

4

A

1 calcium binding to troponin causes conformational changes which expose binding sites of actin
2 myosin head forms bond with actin filament called actin myosin cross bridges
3 myosin heads flex in unison pulling actin filament along myosin filament

Q

What happens during stimulation of the sarcolemma

5

A

1 action potential reaches synaptic knob of motor neurone
2 calcium ion channels stimulated to open so calcium floods into neurone through voltage gated channels
3 acetylcholine is released into neuromuscular junction by exocytosis
4 acetylcholine binds to nicotinic acetylcholine receptors on sarcolemma which are ligand gated receptors opening sodium ion channels
5 sodium diffuses into sarcoplasm causing depolarisation and action potential

Q

What happens during stimulation of the sarcoplasm

7

A

1 AP in sarcolemma travels down Ttubules to sarcoplasmic reticulum
2 calcium ions are released from SR into sarcoplasm
3 calcium ions bind to troponin so tropomyosin pulled away from myosin binding sites of actin and myosin heads bond to form cross bridges
4 myosin head flexes and pulls actin filament along
5 ATP binds to myosin head causing it to release
6 after AP calcium reuptaken into SR by active transport
7 tropomyosin restored

Q

What happens during the pharyngeal phase of swallowing

A

Sensory input goes to nucleus of tractus solitarius which receives input from nucleus ambigus (swallowing centre) in brainstem which coordinates the swallowing response
