Q

Calcium ions are released into the ___ .

A

sarcoplasm

but action potential is generated in the - sarcolemma

92
Q

increase in Ca2+ levels in the sarcoplasm leads to -

A

Binding of Ca with a subunit of TROPONIN on actin filaments and thereby remove the masking of active sites for MYOSIN .

93
Q

Ca binds with ___on___filaments and thereby remove the masking of active sites for _____.

A

A subunit of troponin
Actin filaments
Myosin

94
Q

Utilising the energy from ____, the myosin head now binds to the exposed active sites on actin to form a _____ .

A

ATP hydrolysis

Cross bridge

95
Q

What happens when the myosin head binds to the exposed active sites on actin to form a cross bridge (utilising the energy from ATP hydrolysis ) ?

A

The attached actin filaments are pulled towards the centre of ‘A’ band

96
Q

What is the next step in contraction after the pulling of actin filaments towards the centre of A band ?

A

The Z-line attached to these actins are also pulled inwards thereby causing a shortening of the sarcomere i,e., contraction

97
Q

During the shortening of the muscles , the

——gets reduced while the ___retain the length .

A

I-band

A-band

98
Q

The ____disappears during shortening of muscle fibres .

A

H-zone

99
Q

How does the myosin go back to its relaxed state?

A

After releasing the ADP and P1 , the myosin goes back to its relaxed 😌 state .

100
Q

How is the cross bridge broken ?

A

When a new ATP binds ( i,e., binding of ATP occurs )

101
Q

The cycle of cross-bridge formation and breakage continues till -

A

Ca 2+ ions are pumped back to the SARCOPLASMIC cisternae resulting in the masking of actin filaments

102
Q

When the Ca ions are pumped back to the sarcoplasmic cisternae , what happens ?

A

Masking of actin filaments occurs

This causes - return of Z lines back to their original position . =relaxation

103
Q

The __time of the fibres can vary in diff muscles .

A

Reaction

104
Q

Repeated activation of muscles can lead to ____due to ____causing __.

A

Accumulation of lactic acid
Anaerobic breakdown of glycogen in them
Fatigue

105
Q

Describe the whole process of muscle contraction -

A

1) CNS ->via motor neuron ->signal reaches neuromuscular junction ->release of Acetyl choline ->this generates action potential in the sarcolemma ->action potential causes release of Ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum into sarcoplasm .
2) ca2+ inc leads to the binding of Ca with the subunit of troponin (Tpc) and remove the masking of active site on actin to form a cross-bridge .
3) by utilising energy from ATP myosin head binds to the exposed active site to form across bridge
4) this pulls the attached actin filaments towards actin filaments towards the centre of A band
5) shortening of sarcomere occurs
6) I-band gets reduced and A band retains its length
7) myosin releasing the ADP and P1 goes back to its relaxed state .
7) a new ATP binds and cross bridge is broken
8) the ATP is again hydrolysed by myosin head and the cycle continues till the Ca ions are pumped back to the sarcoplasmic cisternae resulting in the masking of actin filaments .

106
Q

During relaxation , the __lines return back .

A

Z

107
Q

Location of Z line -

A

Elastic fibre in the centre of I-band . It bisects the I-band . The actin filaments are firmly attached to it .

108

111
Q

A

Mitochondria

112
Q

What role does mitochondria play in red muscle fibres ?

A

113
Q

Red fibres utilise oxygen for ATP production , therefore they are also called -

A

Aerobic muscles

114
Q

Some muscles possess very less quantity of myoglobin and therefore appear ____ . They are called -
