Q

T Tubule

A
  • continuation of sarcolemma that protrudes into the sarcoplasm
  • allows action potential to get to deeper into cell to release Ca++
  • between 2 lateral sacs to make a triad

Q

M Line

A
  • Extends through the center of the H zone

- represents proteins that serve to hold together the adjoining myosin molecules

17
Q

Muscle Connective Tissue

A
  • Epimysium
  • Perimysium
  • Endomysium
18
Q

Troponin

A
  • complex of 3 units (mickey mouse ears)
  • TnC
  • TnT
  • TnI
19
Q

Perimysium

A

covers a fasiculus

20
Q

A Band

A

-region of sarcomere containing all of the myosin and the actin that overlaps it

21
Q

The myosin is cocked when:

A

it has ADP + Pi bound to it’s head

& a high energy form of myosin

22
Q

Actin

A
  • Spherical molecules joined in 2 helical strands

- each sphere has binding site for myosin

23
Q

Mm connective tissue fuses at ends of muscles to:

A

form tendons to attach to bones

24
Q

Fasciculus

A
  • bundle of muscle fibers in parallel

- separated by perimysium

25
Q

Myofibrils

A
  • contractile unit of Mm where tension is generated

- one segment is a sarcomere

26
Q

Myosin

A

thick filament

27
Q

2 head of myosin

A
  • 1 site to bind with actin

- 1 site to bind ATP

28
Q

Thick Filaments

A

-made up of myosin

29
Q

Each myosin is surrounded by_____

A

6 different actin

30
Q

Thin Filaments

A

-made of actin, troponin, tropomyosin

31
Q

Tropomyosin

A

-long threadlike protein runs along groove made by actin
molecule strings
-Covers binding sites while resting

32
Q

Tnc

A

troponin that binds to Ca++

33
Q

TnI

A

troponin that binds to actin and inhibits binding of tropomyosin to actin
