Q

M line

A

-centre of the A band
-proteins of the M line connect the central portion of each thick filament to neighboring thick filaments
-these dark-staining proteins help stabilise the positions of the thick filaments

Q

function of titin

A

-helps to keep thick and thin filaments in proper alignment and aids in restoring resting sarcomere length after contraction
-helps muscle fiber resist extreme stretching that would disrupt contraction mechanism

16
Q

thin filaments molecular structure

A

5-6 nm diamneter
1μm long
contains 4 main proteins: F-actin, nebulin, tropomyosin, troponin

17
Q

Filamentous actin

A

twisted strand composed of two rows of 300-400 individual globular molecules of G actin

18
Q

nebulin

A

-nebulin holds the F-actin strand together
-long strand of nebulin extends along F-actin strand in the cleft between the rows of G-actin molecules

19
Q

what does each G-actin molecule contain

A

active sight where mysoin can bind

20
Q

binding sight on G-actin in resting state

A

-troponin-tropomyosin complex prevents myosin binding
- strands of tropomyosin cover active sights on G-actin preventing actin-mysosin interaction

21
Q

tropomyosin

A

double stranded protein that covers 7 active sights
bounded to one molecule of troponin midway along its length

22
Q

troponin

A

3 globular subunits

23
Q

how are troponin and tropomyosin locked into a complex

A

one globular subunit of troponin binds to tropomyosin locking them together as a complex

24
Q

how is the troponin- tropomyosin complex locked into position

A

troponins second globular subunit binds to G actin holding complex into position

25
third subunit of troponin
has a receptor that binds to 2 Ca2+ ions
26
third troponin subunit in resting muscle
Ca2+ conc very low, binding sight is empty
27
when can a contraction occur
when the troponin-tropomyosin complex changes position, exposing active sight on actin
28
when is the active sight on actin exposed
when calcium ions bind to receptors of troponin molecules
29
thick filaments
10-12nm diameter 1.6 μm long
30
mysoin arrangment in thick filament
contains approx 300 myosin molecules, each molecule made up of a pair of myosin subunits twisted around one another
31
long tail of myosin bound to
other myosin molecules in the thick filament
32
free head of myosin molecule
projects outwards to the nearest thin filament two globular subunits
33
how are myosin molecules arranged
tails pointing towards the M line no myosin heads in H region elsewhere on filament, myosin heads arranged in spiral each facing one of the surrounding thin filaments
34
changes in sarcomere during contraction
A band stays the same width Z lines move closer together I band gets smaller
35
when the ends of a myofibril are free to move,
sarcomeres shorten simultaneously and the ends of the myofibril are pulled towards its centre
36
when one end of a myofibril is in a fixed position
the free (the insertion) end is pulled towards the fixed end (the origin)
37
what causes bone movement
muscle fibre contracts, pulls on tendons collagen fibers which are embedded in the bone,
