A

Smooth Muscle

76
Q

(True or False)
Steps in a muscle contraction.

  1. Action potential travels down motor neuron to presynaptic terminal causing Ca2+ channels to open.
  2. Ca2+ causes synaptic vesicles to release acetylcholine into synaptic cleft.
  3. Acetylcholine binds to receptor sites on Na+ channels, Na+ channels open and Na+ rushes into postsynaptic terminal.
  4. Na+ causes sarcolemma and T-tubules to increase the permeability of sarcoplasmic reticulum which releases stored calcium.
  5. Ca2+ binds to troponin which is attached to actin.
  6. Ca2+ binding to troponin causes tropomyosin to move exposing attachment sites for myosin.
  7. Myosin heads to actin.
  8. ATP is released from myosin heads and heads bend toward center of sacromere.
  9. Bending forces actin to slide over myosin.
  10. Acetylcholinestenase is released, Na+ channels close and muscle contraction stops.
A

True

77
Q

Enzyme that breaks down acetylcholine.

A

Acetylcholinestenase

78
Q

The tightening, shortening, or lengthening of muscles when you do some activity

A

Muscle Contraction

79
Q

(True or False) Energy for muscle contractions are supplied by the protein.

A

False: Energy for muscle contractions are supplied by the ATP.

80
Q

(True or False) ATP is stored in actin heads.

A

False: ATP is stored in myosin heads.
