TYPES OF MUSCLES

A
  1. Striated
    – Skeletal muscle (voluntary)
    – Cardiac muscle (involuntary)
  2. Smooth muscle (involuntary)
  3. Contractile filaments (actin and myosin)

SACROPLASMIC RETICULUM

33
Q

Regulates muscle contraction by calcium sequestration (relax) and release (contract)

TROPOMYSIN

40
Q

TROPONIN

41
Q

bind to tropomyosin

42
Q

4 binding sites for calcium

43
Q

binds to actin, inhibiting myosin-actin interaction

44
Q

2 identical heavy chains and 2 pairs of light chains

45
Q

Double-headed golf club

46
Q

Globular heads (S1 fragments) have ATPase activity but require interaction with actin to release ADP and Pi.

47
Q

During contraction, thick and thin filaments do not shorten but increase their overlap

A

HUXLEY’S SLIDING-FILAMENT MODEL

48
Q

Thin filaments slide past thick filaments and penetrate more deeply into the A band, which remains constant in length

A

HUXLEY’S SLIDING-FILAMENT MODEL

49
Q

I and H bands shorten as Z disks are drawn closer together
