Term

muscles. ready?

ok

order them

Definition
muscle, muscle fibers, fiber(cell), myofybril
Term
muscle cells are?
Definition
multinucleated
Term
thin filaments called
Definition
actin
Term
thick called
Definition
myosin
Term
section of the myofiber is called a
Definition
sarcomere
Term

what binds to what

and what e- level is it at

Definition

ATP binds to the myosin head

it is in a lower energy state

Term
until an elephant attacks and !!!
Definition
the ATP is converted to ADP and the myosin head stretches in a high energy conformation
Term
this is when the myosin head
Definition
connects with the actin and then the ADP and P reslease and the myosin snaps back into relaxed phase but pulls the actin closer
Term
until the
Definition
ATP joins again with the myosin head
Term
contraction and relaxation is regulated
Definition
by Ca+ and regulatiory protiens
Term
what covers what
Definition
tropomyosin covers the myosin binding sites on actin
Term
what causes the tropomyosin to block the binding sites
Definition
troponin complex
Term
until!!!
Definition
Ca+ binds to tropomyosin and allows for contraction to begin because it shifts the tropomyosin so the heads can bond
Term
where does calcium live?
Definition
in the sarcoplasmic recticulum
Term
when is it released
Definition
ca+ sends a signal to axon to releace NT (ach) and that goes to the receptors which sends a signal down the plasma membrane to the t tubule which runs through the SR and the SR releases the Ca+ that bonds to the troponin in the tropomyosin on the actin.
Term
contraction of a fiber occurs
Definition
all or none
Term
however motor neurons
Definition
can be attached to more than one fiber; different neurons control different amounts of fibers
Term
what is tetanus
Definition
the summation and high frequency of AP's
Term

types of skeletal

oxydative

Definition
aerobic respiration
Term
glycolytic
Definition
glycolysis not as many blood vessels, white, mitochondria
Term
fast twitch
Definition

tension is 3 times faster than slow, faster rate of ATP hydrolysis, rapid

can be oxy or glyco

Term
slow twitch
Definition
develop tension slower, last longer, less SR, always oxydative.
Term
cardiac can contract
Definition
without input from the nervous system
Term
cardiac have
Definition
intercalated disks that carry the AP and contractions can last 20 times longer than skeletal
Term
smooth
Definition
hollow organs, ans, some contract with out as well, slow contractions, DON'T use troponin and tropomyosin, different use of Ca+
