Q

Identify, describe, and provide an example

A
  1. Parallel/ Longitudinal - fascicles parallel to long axis of muscle; Sartorius
  2. Parallel muscle with tendinous bands - Rectus abdominus
  3. Convergent - fascicles spread over a large area converge to a single tendon; Pectoralis major
  4. Unipennate - all fascicles converge to one side of a tendon; Semimembranosis
  5. Bipennate - fascicles converge to both sides of a tendon; Rectus femoris
  6. Multipennate - tendon branches converge to a single tendon; Deltoid
  7. Circular - concentrically arranged fibers surrounding an opening; Orbicularis oris
18
Q

Muscle Fiber

A

All muscle fibers are only innervated by a single neuron

However, a single neuron can innervate many muscle fibers

A muscle fiber consists of many sarcomeres arranged side by side

Q

Sliding Filmaent Theory

A
  1. ATP binds to myosin cross-bridge headm which split ATP into ADP and Pi and energy. Energy is used to swivel the cross-bridges to a “ready” (90º) position
  2. Motor neuron at neuromuscular junction releases acetylcholine, which binds to receptors on sarcolemma, causing an action potential
  3. Action potential spreads throughout sarcolemma and down he t-tubules
  4. This causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) channels to open and release calcium ions (Ca2+)
  5. Ca2+ bind to troponin-tropomyosin complex on actin, exposing binding sites for myosin
  6. Myosin cross-bridges attach to actin (and release Pi) causing myosin to swivel to 45º, pulling actin and their z-lines towards cell center, shortening sarcomere
