skeletal muscle II (wk9) Flashcards
what does myosin bind to form a cross bridge
g actin
what are the 3 tropoins and what do they bind to to expose the myosin binding site of g actin
§ When calcium binds to Troponin C, The troponin complex undergoes a conformational change and Troponin T “pulls” tropomyosin and Troponin I off of the myosin-binding site of G-actin subunits
§ Myosin is now able to bind to G-actin and form a cross bridge
4 steps of the cross bridge cycle
- ATP hydrolysis
2.cross bridge formation - power stroke
- detachment of myosin from actin
when myosin is bound to ATP what affinity does it have for actin
low; so no cross bridge form
how does myosin turn ATP into ADP + Pi
intrinsic ATPase ; myosin head hydrolysis
what is a power stroke
The cross bridge generates force as myosin neck rotates toward center or sarcomere
w
* Actin and myosin filaments slide post one another
* Z lines get closer together, shortening the sarcomere & generating force
what gets closer together to shorten the sarcomere and generate force
z line
how does myosin detach from actin
ATP binds myosinw
what happens if no ATP to bind myosin so that it can detach from actin
rigor mortis
why does sarcomere length matter
The amount of actin and myosin filament overlap determines the tension that is developed by a contracting muscle.
need some overlap to have tension and contract
isotonic vs isometric
which is force > load and load > force
isometric: load>force
isotonic: force> load
isotonic vs isometric which one does the muscle length shorten and which one doesnt change length
isometric- no change
isotonic- shortens
how do muscles relax
When the sarcolemma is no longer depolarized, the L-type calcium channels no longer trigger release of calcium from the SR through the ryanodine receptor
§ L-type channels return to their resting membrane potential state
where does calcium get re sequestered into
SR
how does calcium go back into SR in muscle relaxation
SERCA
what binds calcium in the SR to sequester it and keep it there in muscle relaxation
calsequestrin and calreticulin
where does cross bridge and muscle contraction take place
cytosol
where to put calcium for muscle relation
out of cytosol; mainly into SR but some into ECF
what is the fuel storage for type I vs type II muscle fibers
I- fat
II- glycogen
how does exercise effect slow vs fast twitch muscls
hard to change proportions in body but can change size of individual muscle fibers w particular training
lots of it is genetics
