Q

Mechanism of Muscle Contraction THEORY:

A

Binding of Ca to troponin results in a conformational change in tropomyosin that uncovers the active sites on the actin molecule, allowing for myosin to bind.

42
Q

Cross bridging steps:

A

1) Binding, myosin cross bridge binds to actin molecules
2) Power stroke, cross bridge bends, pulls actin inward
3) Detachment, cross bridge detaches at end of power stroke and returns to original conformation
4) Binding, cross bridge binds to more distal actin molecule, REPEATS!

Q

Does the actin or myosin move inwards?

A

Actin! Myosin does not move!

44
Q

Role of Ca in Cross Bridge: Relaxation

A

no excitation
no cross-bridge
muscle fiber relaxed

45
Q

Role of Ca in Cross Bridge: Excitation

A

Muscle fiber is excited and Ca is released
Ca binds to troponin, pulling troponin-tropomyosin complex aside to expose binding site
Cross-bridging bind occurs
Binding of actin/myosin cross bridge triggers power stroke that pulls actin inward (contraction)

46
Q

Where does calcium comes from?

A

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (lateral sacs)

47
Q

How does the calcium get released?

A

By an AP (Excitation-Contraction Coupling)!

48
Q

What happens to the Ca after AP stops?

A

Goes back in the SR

49
Q

Nueromuscular Transmission

A

specialized synapse between motorneuron and muscle fiber

occurs at a structure on the muscle fiber called the motor end plate (usually only one per fiber)

50
Q

Neuromuscular Junction

A

Synaptic trough: synaptic vesicles that has ACh
Synaptic cleft: AcetylASE (AChe)
Synaptic subneural clefts: contains ACh gated channels, voltage gated Na channel

51
Q

Role of Na Channel on motor neuron…

A

helps release neurotransmitter, releases ACh, ACh moves outer membrane and undergoes fusion/exocitosis… influx Ca in…allows stim of vesicles to fuse with membrane… At fuse into cleft

52
Q

ACh has binding sites to

A

open channels and stir Na influx… allows change of gradient in muscle to swim Na channels to set AP throughout muscle

53
Q

ACh is going to be…** (know this)

A

released, and is what carries signal of AP into muscle via stimulation of channels on receiving ends of the other skeletal muscle to transmit AP

54
Q

Myasthenia Gravis

A

autoimmune disease that target ACh receptors
body produces anti-bodies to target ACh
blocks/destroys ACh (receptor) from binding
results in muscle weakness due to loss of contraction
face/upper regions

**muscle activation inhibited

55
Q

Excitation-Contraction Coupling: T-tubules

A

invaginations of sarcolemma filled with extracellular fluid
penetrate the muscle fiber, branch and form networks
transmit APs deep into the muscle fiber

56
Q

Excitation-Contraction Coupling: SR

A

terminal cistenae form junction adjacent to T-tubule membrane
storage of Ca

57
Q

How is Ca released?

A

T-tubule has DHP (sensitive to AP), stimulates…
SR, lateral has own receptor , Ryanodine
Rayonne joins together to release Ca
Ca released from SR

**via voltage one one to open gates…

58
Q

ECC process!

A
ACh released at NMJ
Na comes in and ACh starts AP
AP in T-tubule alters DHP receptor
DHP opens Ca release in SR, Ca enters cytoplasm
Ca binds to troponon, actin/myosin binds
Myosin heads power stroke
Actin slides inwards of sarcomere
59
Q

Relaxation

A

depends on reuptake Ca into SR
AChASE breaks down ACh at NMJ
muscle fiber AP potential stops
Ca going back to SR

60
Q

ATP Involvement

A

1) ATP is split into ADP and P, the myosin head is energized
2) Myosin head attaches to actin, cross bridge
3) Pi generated in previous contraction is released, power stroke happens, Myosin pivots and pulls actin toward M line. ADP released
4) NEW ATP attaches to myosin head, bridge weakens and detaches
REPEAT

61

102
Q

DMD Pathogenesis

A

abnormality in protein: dystrophin
…transfers/generate/move force from contraction to C.T.
support protein, connects plasma membrane to contractile proteins
BIG STABILIZER protein
allow muscle to contract under force

103
Q

Dystrophin

A

normally: strengthens muscle fibers and protects them from injury during contraction and relaxation
structural. ..
compromised: prone to injury and won’t be able to contract that well…

effects skeletal then eventually cardiac

104
Q

Dystrophin deficiency:

A

abnormal cell membrane with increased transient local membrane disruptions and inflows of Ca

activates enzyme: protease, breaks down protein that we do need…

alters Ca channel activity and increase Ca inflow

impaired Ca homeostasis causes

apoptosis (program cell death) and necrosis (not enough nutrients)

DMD is missing dystrophin…
