5. Overall muscle shortened

Term

EVENTS LEADING TO

SLIDING OF THIN FILAMENT ALONG

THICK FILAMENT

Definition

1. Tight binding, rigor state. Crossbridge 45* filament

2. ATP binds site on myosin head. Myosin dissociates from actin

3. ATPase activity of myosin hydrolyzes ATP. ADP and Pi remain bound to myosin

4. Myosin swings over, weakly binds actin, 90* filament

5. Release Pi initiates power stroke . Myosin head rotates on hinge. Pushes actin filament past it.

6. End power stroke, myosin head releases ADP and resumes tightly bound rigor state

Term

RELAXED STATE FUNCTION OF MUSCLE FIBER

"REGULATORY ROLE OF TROPOMYOSIN AND TROPONIN"

Definition

Tropomyosin partially covers mysosin binding sites. Prevents myosin fully binding and releasing Pi. Can't undergo power stroke.

Term

INITIATION OF CONTRACTION

"REGULATORY ROLE OF TROPOMYOSIN AND TROPONIN"

Definition

1. Ca+2 increase in cytosol

2. Ca+2 binds troponin

3. Troponin-Ca+2 complex pulls tropomyosin away from G-actin binding site

4. Myosin binds to actin and completes power stroke

5. Actin filament moves

Term

EXCITATION

CONTRACTION

COUPLING

 

Definition

1. Somatic motor releases ACh at neuromuscular junction

2. No entry of Na+ through ACh receptor, initiates a muscle AP

3. AP in t-tubules alter conformation of DHP receptor

4. DHP receptor opens Ca+2 enters cytoplasm

5. Ca+2 binds troponin allowing strong actin-myosin binding

6. Myosin heads execute power stroke

7. Actin filament slides toward center of sarcomere

**Muscle fiber contracts completely and repolarizes**

Term

MUSCLE FIBER

REPOLARIZES

Definition

1. Ca+2 on SR close

2. Ca+2 pumps on SR pump Ca+2 into SR

3. Pulls Ca+2 off troponin

4. Tropomyosin shifts partially covers myosin binding sites on G-actin

5. Sarcomere to original length help of titin

6. Muscle fiber relaxes/returns to original length

Fast Movements
Term
MUSCLE FIBERS IN SKELETAL MUSCLE ORGANIZED IN MOTOR UNITS:
Definition

Motor units motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates

Basic functional unit of a skeletal muscle

Term
MOTOR UNITS
Definition

Fine Movements- Few muscle fibers

Gross Movements- Large number of muscle fibers

Motor unit activated, all fibers in unit contract completely and relax (all or none)

Larger motor unit, larger force generated when it contracts

Term

NERVOUS SYSTEM VARIES

FORCE OF CONTRACTION

IN 2 WAYS:

Definition

1. Varying type of Motor Units activated:

Larger- increase MF, increase force

Small- decreas MF, decrease force

2. Change number activated any one time during contraction:

Force of contraction be increased by recruting additional motor units:

Motor Unit Recruitment

Term
MOTOR UNIT RECRUITMENT OCCURS IN A STEREOTYPED WAY DURING A MUSCLE CONTRACTION
Definition

Nervous system 1st activated a few small motor units produce small force

Force contraction increase, nervous system increases number/size of motor units being activated

Max force contractions approached, largest motor untis in muscle activated, composed of fast twitch glycolytic fibers

Term

MOTOR

NEURON

RECRUITMENT

Definition

Fast twitch GF can't sustain contraction for long

Force of contraction drops as motor units drop out of contraction

Skeletal muscles possible sustain submax for long periods by asynchronous recruitment

Term

ASYNCHRONOUS

RECRUITMENT

Definition
Nervous system alternates activation of motor units, different motor units maintaining contraction. Allows sustained submaximal contraction of muscle for long periods
Term

2 TYPES

MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS

GENERATE FORCE

Definition

1. Isotonic

Generates force, shortens length, moves load

Eccentric-lengthening

Concentic-shortening

2. Isometric

Generate force, don't shorten, don't move load

Term

ELASTIC ELEMENTS

IN MUCSLE

Definition

1. Isometric

Not shortened. Sarcomere shorten, generate force, elastic elements stratch, muscle length remains same

2. Isotonic

Sarcomeres shorten more, elastic elements already stretched, entire muscle shortens

Term

ATP IS REQUIRED

IN STEADY SUPPLY DURING MUSCLE CONTRACTION

ATP NEEDED:

Definition

1. During contraction release of myosin head from actin and movement of myosin head

2. During relaxation muscle fiber by Ca+2 pump move Ca+2 ions into SR

3. After excitation-contraction restore Na/K concentration gradient in/outside muscle fiber

Term

Definition

1. Extended submaximal exercise

2. Short duration maximal exertion

3. Potassium

Term
