Motor Physiology Flashcards
Red/ slow twitch
Type 1
Endurance
Type 1
White/ fast twitch
Type 2
Powerful muscle contraction
Type 2
Are united/contract together as one
Contain gap junctions
Course muscle control rough
Unitary smooth muscle
Example of Unitary smooth muscle
Uterus
No GAP junction
Fine motor control
Act on their own
Multi-unit Smooth muscle
Example of Multi-unit Smooth muscle
Ciliary, pupil
Intrafusal
Muscle spindle
For muscle contraction
Extrafusal
Rhythmic, intermittent
Physic Smooth Muscles
Continuously active
Tonic Smooth muscle
This is characteristic of type II muscle fiber?
Larger in size
Functional unit of muscle
Sarcomere
Surrounds muscle fiber
Endomysium
Surrounds muscle fascicle
Perimysium
Surrounds skeletal muscle
Epimysium
Border
Z line
Thick filament
A
Only actin
No myosin
I band
Middle
M line
Plasma membrane surround muscle fiber
Sarcolemma
Endoplasmic reticulum surrounding nyo fibril
Contains calcium
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Invagination a of the Sarcoplasmic in close proximity to the terminal cistern are of the Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Transverse tubules
Tethers Mysosin to Z lines (scaffolding); binds z lines to M line
Titin
Largest protein in the body
Titin
Stabilizes sarcoma a & prevents contraction-induced rupture
Dystrophin
Binds Actin to Z lines
Actin in, Capz protein
Binds Z lines to sarcolemma
Desmin
Acts as a molecular ruler that sets the length of actin during assembly
Nebulin
Area between two Z lines
Exhibited by skeletal and cardiac muscles
Has thick and thin filaments
Sarcomere
Myosin
Thick filaments
Actin
Tropomyosin
Troponin
Thin filament
Attaches troponin complex to tropomyosin
Troponin T
Inhibits actin-myosin binding
Troponin I
Calcium binding protein
Troponin C
Involves motor neurons and extramural fibers
Skeletal Muscle contraction
Sliding filament model
Skeletal Muscle contraction
What is the distance achieved in each cross-bridge cycle?
10 nanomeres
Blocks release of Ach from pre-synaptic terminals
Botulinus toxin
Competes with Ach for receptors on Motor End Plate
Curare
Inhibits Acetlycholinesterase
Neostigmine
Blocks reputable of Choline into pre synaptic terminal
Hemicholinium
Which of the following temporal sequences is correct for excitation contraction coupling in skeletal muscle?
Action potential in the muscle membrane, depolarization of T tubules, release of Ca from the Sarcoplasmic reticulum
In skeletal muscle, which of the following events occurs before depolarization of the T tubules in the mechanism of excitation-contraction coupling?
Depolarization of the sarcolemmal membrane
Purely intracellular Ca/SR
Skeletal
Both intracellular & extracellular Ca
Cardiac
