Term
Nerve Action in Muscle Cells
Definition
-Acetlycholine released from motor neuron
- Electrical Impulse transmitted along T-tubules
-Calcium released from sarcomereplasmic reticulum

Sarcoplasmic Recticulum
Definition
special membrane in muscle to store calcium
Term
Contraction
Definition
formation of cross bridges between thin and thick filaments
Term
Mechanism of Muscle Contraction
Definition
1) Calcium release
2)Calcium binds to troponin
3)Tropnin iniates movement
4)Myosin binding site exposed
5)Myosin head from corss bridges with actin
6)Actin filaments pulled toward center of sarcomere

Definition
Muscles waste away
Destropin-destroys actin and myosin
Term
Muscle Cramps
Definition
lack of water,Ions, Electrolytes or potassium
Term
Pulled Muscles
Definition
muscle cannot contracted well, overuse!!
Term
Fascitis
