Term
dense irregular collagenous CT; surrounds entire muscle
Definition
Epimysium
Term
contractile elements of the muscle
Definition
myofibrils
Term
myofillaments are made of this
Definition
actin and myosin
Term
Intermediate filaments that hold myofibrils together
Definition
desmin and vimentin
Term
this connects actin to sarcolemma
Definition
Dystrophin
Term
this is the contractile unit if the cell
Definition
sarcomere
Term
the A-band is this
Definition
myosine filament
Term
Globular G-actin forms
Definition
F-actin
Term
2 actin chains form this
Definition
alpha helix
Term
this forms along the length of helix
Definition
Nebulin
Term
this is in the groove of the helix
Definition
Tropomyosin:
Term
this is attached to tropomyosin
Definition
Troponin
Term
this subunit of troponin binds to tropomyosin
Definition
TnT- dynomite
Term
this subunit of troponin binds the Calcium
Definition
TnC
Term
the binding of calcium to the TnC sub-unit of troponin does this (2)
Definition
Induces conformation change in tropomyosin
Unmasks myosin binding site on actin
Term
what does the TnI subunit of troponin do?
Definition
Helps the inhibition of myosin binding to actin by keeping tropomyosin in place
Inhibits actin – myosin interaction
Term
Myosin molecules are composed of this
Definition
Two identical heavy chains
Two pairs of light chains
Term
Myosin Myofilaments are composed of this many myosin molecules
Definition
200-300 myosin molecules
Term
why are the I bands lighter in color?
Definition
they are thin filaments without any overlapping thick filaments
Term
why are A-bands dark?
Definition
they are made of thick and thin filaments overlapping
Term
what is the magor protein of the thick filament?
Definition
myosin
Term
this protein is very large and forms an elastic lattice that anchors the Z-disk to the thick filaments
Definition
titan
Term
interaction of this with myosin helps to hydrolize the ATP, resulting in contraction
Definition
G-actin
Term
this masks the myosin binding site on actin, occupying the groove on the thin filament
Definition
tropomysin
Term
this inhibits the actin-myosin interaction Helping tropomyosin cover myosin binding site
Definition
troponin
Term
transverse tubule =
Definition
invagination of the sarcolemma among the myofibrils
Term
the T-tubule is found on this plane
Definition
Lie in the plane of the A-I junction in mammalian skeletal muscle
Term
change to I-band when a muscle contracts
Definition
I-band narrows
Term
change to H-band when a muscle contracts
Definition
H-band disappears
Term
change to Z-line when a muscle contracts
Definition
Z-lines get closer
Term
change to A-band when a muscle contracts
Definition
A-band unchanged
Term
what do Ca ions do to troponin once it binds to the TnC subunit?
Definition
Troponin conformation shifts position of tropomyosin deeper into groove unmasking the myosin binding site on the actin
Term
what happens to the ADP when the ATP on the myosin is hydrolized?
Definition
ATP on the S1 subunit of myosin is hydrolyzed but ADP and P group remain attached to the subunit and the complex binds to the active site on actin
Term
this is released to increase the bond strength of actin and myosin binding and a conformation change in the S1 subfragment
Definition
Inorganic phosphate is released,
Term
this initiates the power stroke
Definition
ADP is also released and the thin filament is dragged toward the center of the sarcomere (power stroke)
Term
this causes the release of the bond between actin and myosin
Definition
A new ATP molecules binds to the S1 subfragment
Term
What makes up the triad?
Definition
T-tubule and 2 adjoining terminal cisternae of the sarcolemae
Term
this is the voltage gated sensor that opens Ca++ channels into the cell
Definition
DHPR
Term
Since ATP binding is what releases the muscle from firing riga mortis is caused by this
Definition
the absence of ATP causing the myosin heads to bind
Term
when does the actin filament slide back?
Definition
not until after the release of the myosin head
Term
this starts the unmasking process
Definition
Ca++ comes in and starts the unmasking process
Term
what does tyrosin binding to actin do?
Definition
Tyosin binds the actin and the power stroke pulls the actin past it
Term
as the muscle contracts this is the change to the myofilaments
Definition
The myofilaments do not change size, they change their relationship to each other
Term
What is the T-tubule's function?
Definition
facilitates the conduction of waves of depolarization
Term
What does the sarcoplasmic reticulum do?
Definition
stores Ca++
Term
What makes the M-line?
Definition
Myomesin and C proteins anchoring the middle
Term
what is the thick filliment surrounded by?
Definition
Exery myosin thick filament is surrounded by a hexagonal arrangement of thin filaments
Term
how do the myosin myofilaments (thick filaments) arrange themselves
Definition
tail to tail with their tails extended outward
Term
this extends outwards from the Z-disks
Definition
actin thin filaments
Term
Sarcomeres run from here to here
Definition
Z disk to Z disk
Term
how do myoblasts form muscles
Definition
The myoblasts fuse to form myotubes. Over 100 myoblasts form the tubes- multiple nuclei-The tubes make myofilaments and arrange them in to the muscle fiber
