Q

23
Q

What covers the active site when there is no contraction

A

Tropomyosin

24
Q

What holds the tropomyosin in place

25
What “unlocks” troponin
Calcium
26
What is a motor unit
One neuron innervates several muscle fibers
27
What are differences between large and small motor units
Small: fine degree of control (3-6 fibers per neuron) ex: hands Large: more strength than control (many muscle fibers per neuron) ex: back
28
What is the neuromuscular junction
Point where a nerve fiber meets muscle fiber
29
What is the chemical neurotransmitter used in NMJ
Acetylcholine
30
What are action potentials
Quick up and down voltage shift from negative RMP (resting mem potential) to positive to negative again
31
What goes on during each stage of electrically excitable cells
1. Ion gates open in plasma mem. 2. Na+ instantly diffuses down concentration gradient 3. ^^ causes depolarization (inside of the mem. Becomes briefly positive) 4. Immediately Na+ gates close and K+ gates open 5. K+ leaves the cell due to sodium positive charge 6. ^^ causes repolarization (loss of positive K+ ions turns mem. Negative again) 7. Action potential causes another one to happen immediately in front of it
32
What are the four phases involved in muscle contraction
Excitation Excitation and contraction coupling Contraction Relaxation
33
What goes on during excitation
1. Nerve signals open voltage gated calcium channels in synaptic knob 2. Calcium stimulates exocytosis of ACh from synaptic vesicles 3. ACh released into synaptic cleft 4. 2 ACh molecules bind to each receptor protein, opening Na and K channels 5. Na enters shifting to positive, then K leaves which puts it back to negative
34
What are contractile and regulatory proteins
Contractile: myosin and actin Regulatory: tropomyosin and troponin
35
What occurs in rigor mortis
Hardening of muscles and stiffening of body beginning 3-4 hours after death - Ca activates myosin actin cross bridge but there is not ATP to cause relaxation
36
What goes on during excitation-contraction coupling
6. Action potential spreads into T tubules 7. Causes opening voltage gated ion channels in tubules & Ca channels in SR 8. Ca enters the cytosol & binds to troponin 10. Troponin-tropomyosin changes shape & exposes active sites
37
What goes on during contraction
11. Myosin ATP hydrolyzes to ADP + Pi which activates the cocking of myosin head 12. Head binds to active site forming a myosin actin cross bridge 13. Myosin head release ADP + Pi, pulling thin filament past thick (power strokes) 14. Binds more ATP myosin releases actin and process is repeated
38
What goes on during relaxation
15. Nerve stimulation & ACh release stops 16. AChE breaks down ACh & fragments reabsorbed into the synaptic knob 17. Ca pumped back into SR by active transport 18. Tropomyosin reblocks active sites
39
What are immediate energy needs
Short intense exercise Oxygen supplied by myoglobin first then quickly depleted, ATP derived from phosphate transfers (phosphagen system)
40
What are short term energy needs
Anaerobic fermentation: enables cells to produce ATP in absence of oxygen, yields little ATP and toxic lactic acid, major in muscle fatigue -Converts glucose to lactic acid -Produces enough ATP for 30-40 seconds of maximum activity
41
What are long term energy needs
After 40 sec or so of exercise, respiratory & cardiovascular systems “catch up” - aerobic respiration (requires continual supply of oxygen) produces 36 ATP per glucose, efficient means of meeting the ATP demands of prolonged exercise
42
What are the differences between type 1 and type 2 fibers
Type 1: slow oxidative, slow twitch, red - abundant mitochondria, myoglobin and capillaries, adapted for aerobic respiration and fatigue resistance Type 2: fast glycolytic, fast twitch, white - fibers well adapted for quick responses not for fatigue resistance, poor in mitochondria, myoglobin, and blood capillaries
43
What are the histological characteristics & properties of cardiac cells
Striated, myocytes are shorter & thicker, one nucleus, involuntary, intercalated discs, mainly use aerobic respiration, auto rhythmic , contract in unison, highly resistant to fatigue
44
What are the histological characteristics & properties of smooth muscle cells
Composed of myocytes that have fusiform shape, involuntary, one nucleus, no nervous stimulation, no striations, no sarcomeres, intermediate filaments
45
What are the two types of smooth muscle cells
Multiunit: autonomic innervation similar to skeletal muscle, in arteries and pulmonary air ways, each unit contracts independently Single unit: wide spread, most blood vessels, contain gap junctions, contract as one
46
How does stimulation, contraction, and relaxation work in smooth muscle (calmodulin)
Stimulation: can contract without nervous stimulation, contract in response to chemical stimuli Contraction: begins in response to Ca, binds to calmodulin on thick filaments Relaxation: this and ^^ are slow compared to skeletal, latch bridge mechanism is resistant to fatigue
47
What are other unique features of smooth muscle cells
Ability to contract against a stretched organ and peristalsis
48
What are the two main parts of the nervous system
Central nervous system (CNS) Peripheral nervous system (PNS)
49
What are the 3 steps of nervous system
1. Sense organs receive information 2. Brain and spinal cord processes this information 3. Brain and spinal cord issue commands to muscles and gland cells
50
What is CNS
Brain and spinal cord enclosed in bony coverings, enclosed by cranium & vertebral columns
51
What is PNS
All nervous system except brain and spinal cord, composed of nerves and ganglia
52
What are the divisions for PNS and what do they do
Sensory division: Carries signals from…. - somatic: from skin, muscles, bones, joints - visceral: from viscera of thoracic & abdominal cavities, heart, lungs, stomach, urinary bladder Motor division: carries signals from CNS to… - somatic: skeletal muscles - visceral: glands, cardiac/smooth muscle Sympathetic: arouse Parasympathetic: calming
53
What are the three universal properties of neurons
Excitability, conductivity, secretion
54
What are the three functional classes of neurons
Sensory (afferent): specialized to detect stimuli Interneurons (association): receive signals from many neurons & carry out integrative fxn Motor (efferent): send signals out to muscles & gland cells
