Muscle physiology Flashcards
cell membrane found in skeletal and cardiac muscle
sarcolemma
where ca2+ is stored to be released into skeletal muscle
sarcoplasmic reticulum
communication line that sends ap to release ca2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum
t-tubules
two types of myofibril
actin and myosin
ratio of actin to myosin
2:1
myosin characteristics
thick, H-zone, cross bridges
what attaches to the myosin head
ATPase
actin characteristics
thin, f-actin filament + tropomyosin + troponin (i-bands)
what contains the binding sites in actin
f-actin filament
what covers f-actin binding sites
tropomyoisin
what binds ca2+ and moves tropomyosin
troponin
what does smooth muscle consist of
actin, myosin and sarcoplasmic reticulum
what is needed for smooth muscle contraction
calmodulin
actin/myoisin/SR location
smooth and skeletal
troponin/tropomyosin location
skeletal and cardiac
where are spindle organs
skeletal
