Musculoskeletal Flashcards
dark band with myosin- does NOT change length
A- band
light band without myosin- gets shorter
I band
in the middle of the I band- will get closer together
Z- disc
what needs to move to allow myosin to bind to actin?
Tropomyosin- which is bound to troponin
Ca++ binds to troponin C and moves tropomyosin out of the way to expose actin
when does ATP get broken down into ADP
durring repositioning
ATP is used to
Release
Slow twitch, type 1 muscle fibers have a lot of
MITOCHONDRIA-
Type two muscle fibers are
Glycolyitic they can reposition faster i.e. fast twitch
muscles seem malnurished
dystrophy
dystrophic cells are missing
dystrophin - and intercellular protein that attaches sarcomere to the sarcolemma
antibodies in mysathenic syndrome
against pre synaptic calcium channels- Ach never released
will ACh esterase inhibitor work with myasthenia syndrome?
No- ACh is never released
blocks post synapttic ACh receptor
Curare
Prevents ACh from fusing- ACh never released
Clostridium Botulinim Toxin - Botox
Excessive ACh release cause lockjaw
Clostridium Tetani Toxin
lay down bone
osteoblast
