Sk/ Sm Musc, Bones, Joints Flashcards
smooth muscle is arranged in…
layered sheets that contract in waves
myogenesis
formation of skeletal muscle
muscle fibers form thru the fusion of precursor ______ into multinucleated fibers called _______
myoblasts; myotubes
1st stage of myogenesis
cell cycle exit and commencement of expression of differentiation genes; commitment of stem (satellite) cells into myoblasts
2nd step of myogenesis
alignment of myoblasts
3rd step of myogenesis
cell fusion of myoblasts into myotubes
epimysium surrounds
muscle bundle
perimysium surrounds
fascicle
endomysium surrounds
muscle fiber
sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounds
myofibril
smallest unit of skeletal muscle
sarcomere
skeletal muscle thin filament composed of 3 proteins:
actin, tropomyosin, troponin
G-actin vs F-actin
G-actin: globular protein composing F
F-actin: filamentous, helices
tropomyosin
filamentous protein, blocks myosin binding site at rest, regulator of muscle contraction
troponin general function
the sensor; tells other components when Ca2+ is present
troponin T
attaches troponin to tropomyosin
troponin I
inhibitory; inhibit interaction of actin/myosin by covering myosin binding site
troponin C
calcium binding site; changes conformation to allow actin/myosin binding
thick filaments composed of
myosin
myosin head domain
binds to actin, uses ATP hydrolysis to generate force and “walk” along filament
myosin neck domain
links head and tail, lever arm
myosin tail domain
contains binding sites that determine specific activities of a particular myosin
which filament is anchor? which is moveable scaffold?
anchor= thin
moveable scaffold= thick
Z-disk
end of sarcomere, in center of I-band
A- band
span length of thick filament, some thin filament overlap
I-band
SHORTENS; thin filament and protein only with z-disk in middle
bare zone/ H-zone
no thin filament, M-line in middle
M-line
center of bare zone, connects thick filaments
cytoskeletal proteins (4)
establish architecture of myofibrils; dystrophin, titin, nebulin, alpha actinin
dystrophin
actin binding protein anchors entire myofibril array to cell membrane; defective in muscular dystrophy
titin
extends from z-disc to m-line thru thick filament; has elasticity near z-disc (prevent overcontraction)
nebulin
spans length of thin filament; helps sarcomere have proprioception of thick/thin filaments
alpha actinin
anchors thin filament to z-disk
where is Ca2+ ATPase (SERCA) found?
membrane of SR
function of SERCA
keep intracellular Ca2+ low when muscle at rest
what mechanism translates muscle AP into production of tension
excitation-contraction coupling
how many Ca2+ ions can bind to trop C?
up to 4, each Ca incr trop C’s affinity
what is a crossbridge?
intermolecular bonds between actin and myosin
