Q

Steps of muscle contraction

A

1) ACh released from nueron to synaptic cleft at NMJ
2) ACh binds to muscles motor end plate and produces action potential
3) Action Potential travels to SReticulum
4) SR releases Ca into cytoplasm
5) Ca shifts troponin and tropomyosin so binding sites on actin are exposed
6) Myosin heads bond to Actin forming cross-bridges
7) using stored energy, Myosin heads pull filaments together within sarcomere (cell shortens)
8) New ATP is used to detach myosin heads and move back for another stroke
9) Muscle relaxes when stimulation ends and Ca pumped back into SR.

Stimulated by nerve impulse, hormones, stretching

stomach, intestines, gut, arteries, uterus, stomach, respiratory passage, blood vessels

Can dilate and constrict veins

44
Q

Cardiac Muscle (see pic)

A
  • branching interconnections (allow electric impulse to travel)
  • single nucleus
  • striated
  • membranes are interkolated discs
  • involuntary
45

Q

How does muscle contract

A

calcium released and Myosin pulls actin towards itself.
