Muscle Flashcards
Epimyusium
covers entire muscle
perimysium
covers muscle fasicle
endomysium
covers each muscle cell
A bands
I bands
a bands dark
i bands light
actin vs myosin
thin -actin part of the I band
thick myosin part of the a band
titin
associated with myosin
during relaxation titin generates passive tension
Desmin
intermediate filament
encircles z disk of each sarcomere
attaches to costameres (special sarcolemma)
Muscle contraction what shortens what stays the same
The H and I band reduce
A and Z stay the same
What is the back up source of energy during muscle contraction?
hydrolysis of creatine phosphate
what would an antibody against the voltage gated K channel
lasting depolarzation state following release of neurotransmitter
Antibody to voltage gated CA 21 channel
continous inflow of Ca causing muscular weakness
Botulinum toxin
prevents release of acetylcholine
binds to presynaptic memebrane
Curare
binds to acetylcholine receptor
prevents binding of acetylcholine
paralysis
Myasthenia gravis
autoantibody binding to the acetylcholine receptor causes myasthenia gravis (fatigue with exercise)
Muscle Contraction
- action potential along sarcolemma reaches t tubule
- depolarization
- l type voltage sensitive calcium channel (membrane transverse tubule) changes conformation
- conformationc hange induces ryanodine sensitive calcium channel in membrane of sarplasmic reticulum release calcium
- ryanodine sensitive ca channel opens and release calcium
