Muscle Tissue And System and brain Flashcards
Where is the site that the myosin head attaches?
G actin
What binds to active site at rest ?
Tropomyosin
What are the subunits of Troponin?
1 binds to Tropomyosin
1 binds to g actin
1 binds to calcium
Thick filament
Myosin
How many myosin molecules are in a thick filament?
300
With head and tail subunits
Sarcomere
Smallest functional unit of muscle fiber
End to end in myofibrils
Repeating units of dark A bands and light I bands
What is an H zone ?
Lighter strips at midsection of A band
Titin
Elastic protein filament
Extend from tips of myosin to attachment sites at z line
Keeps thick and thin filaments in proper alignment and AIDS restoring resting Sarcomere lane
Helps muscle fiber resist extreme stretching
What is released into the synaptic cleft of the neuromuscular junction during the second stage of excitation contraction coupling?
Ach
Where does the action potential travel ?
Down axon of motor neuron to synaptic terminal
Where is the only place in the Sarcomere does filaments over lap
A band
Where on the Sarcomere do you find only myosin?
I band
What does z line do?
Point where actin attach to one another
What is the name of the protein that binds myosin to z line
Myosin
What does acetylcholine do ?
Opens ion channels so sodium can enter potassium can exit.
Causing depolarization
What structures carry the action potential inside muscle fiber?
T tubules and triggers the release of calcium from the sr
What’s the term for the spot where the sr and t tubule meet p
Triad
Thin filament
Actin
Contains an f actin strand
Composed of 2 rows of individual globular g actin molecules
Which stimulation will cause the most tension?
Complete tetanus
What is an example of very low muscle tone
Baby
Older person
Sedentary person
Carrying a bag of groceries is an example of what kind of muscle contraction ?
Isometric
What would be an example of an isotonic contraction?
Bicep curl (concentric)
What type of
Energy system uses oxygen
Aerobic metabolism
What is the second energy system the body uses
Creatine phosphate
