Question
Answer
Muscle Tissue Functions (3)   Movement, Posture, Heat Production  
🗑
Skeletal Muscle Tissue type is   Connective Tissue (Fibrous)  
🗑
CT types found in skeletal tissue (3)   Epimysium, Perimysium, Endomysium  
🗑
Epimysium, Perimysium, Endomysium combine to form   tendon that combines with periosteum of bone  
🗑
Epimysium   surrounds entire muscle  
🗑
Perimysium   surrounds muscle fiber bundles  
🗑
Endomysium   surrounds each muscle fiber  
🗑
the merging of the tendon and periosteum of bone is   strong bond, slow to heal  
🗑
muscle cells are called   muscle fibers (myofibers)  
🗑
within each muscle cell we have (5)   sarcolemma, sarcoplasm, sarcoplasmic reticulum, transverse tubules (T tubules), myofibrils  
🗑
sarcolemma   cell membrane  
🗑
sarcoplasm   cytoplasm  
🗑
sarcoplasmic reticulum   smooth ER with dilaetd sacs called terminal cristernae which contain calcium ions  
🗑
transverse tubules (T tubules)   extensions of the sarcolemma that run perpendicular to the sarcolemma  
🗑
myofibrils   small fibers within the myofiber  
🗑
each myofibril consists of   a series of repeating sarcomeres, the basic unit of contraction  
🗑
sarcomeres   the basic unit of contraction  
🗑
sarcomeres run from   Z line to Z line  
🗑
Sarcomeres consist of   alternating A (dark) and I (light) bands  
🗑
In the center of the A band   is a slightly lighter H zone  
🗑
when the muscle (sarcomere) contracts (4)   1. the Z lines come closer 2. the I band gets smaller 3. the H zone disappears 4. the A band remains the same  
🗑
the I band components must slide over the A band components   Sliding Filament Theory  
🗑
thin filaments   extend from the Z lines. Make up the I band and A band, which is exclusive of the H zone  
🗑
Thin filaments are made up of   Proteins: Actin, Tropomyosin, Troponin  
🗑
Actin   globular proteins that possess a myosin binding site  
🗑
Tropomyosin   strands that cover the myosin binding site on the actin  
🗑
Troponin   located at regular intervals on the tropomyosin  
🗑
Thick Filaments   make up the A band  
🗑
Thick filaments are made up of   myosin: club-shaped protein  
🗑
Thick filaments possess a   cross-bridge (head)  
🗑
cross-bridge (head) consist of   an actin-binding site and an ATP binding site  
🗑
During contraction, a nerve impulse causes   synaptic vesicles in the motor axon end bulbs to release acetylcholine by exocytosis  
🗑
During contraction, the impulse does not simply "jump" from neuron to muscle. What happens?   ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft within the NMJ and initiates an impulse that spreads over the surface of the sarcolemma.  
🗑
the impulse enters the T tubule and   stimulates the sarcoplasmic reticulum to open channels to release calcium ions from storage into the sarcoplasm  
🗑
calcium ions combine with   the tropinin which changes shape. This causes the troponin-tropomysoin complex to move, thus exposing the myosin binding sites on the actin  
🗑
the cross bridge is energized with   energy from an ATP  
🗑
the actin binding site combines with   the myosin binding site  
🗑
the cross bridge then uses its energy to   Powerstroke: bend the bridge which pulls the actin along (sliding filament)  
🗑
the sliding draws the z lines   closer together thus shortening the sarcomere and the muscle  
🗑
ATP binds with the   ATP binding site thus breaking the bridge and energizing the bridge for another power stroke  
🗑
once the impulses stop,   calcium ions are actively transported back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum.  
🗑
To relax the muscle   It takes ATP  
🗑
The (high or low?) calcium ion concentration in the sarcoplasm allows   low. the tropomyosin/troponin complex to cover the myosin binding sites. Myosin cross bridges seperate from the actin.  
🗑
sarcomeres return to their resting lengths   and the muscle relaxes  
🗑
Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ)   the joining of a nerve cell (neuron) and a muscle cell. No physical contact. Only one per muscle.  
🗑
Motor end plate   region of the sarcolemma adjacent to the neuron terminal  
🗑
the neuron terminal contains   vesicles filled with neurotransmitter  
🗑
the motor end plate contains   many neurotransmitter receptors  
🗑
the space between the neuron and the muscle fiber   cleft  
🗑
a nerve impulse causes   calcium ions channels to open allowing calcium to enter the axon. This somehow causes the vesicles to fuse with the neuronal membrane releasing the neurotransmitter, ACh, into the cleft  
🗑
ACh combines with   the receptor sites and alters the membrane's permeability to Na and K ions (ie generates an impulse on the muscle membrane)  
🗑
ACh in inactivated by the   sarcolemma protein, no acetylcholinesterase (AChE). As a result, ACh no longer affects the NMJ  
🗑
curare   drug that acts as competitive inhibitor with acetylcholine  
🗑
botulinum toxin   a toxin from a bacterium that prevents the release of ACh  
🗑
Myasthenia gravis   an autoimmune disease that destroys the muscle Ach receptors. Causes muscle weakness, not life threatening  
🗑
autoimmune disease   diseases whereby we produce antibodies that attack our own tissues  
🗑
idiopathic   unknown cause  
🗑
motor unit   the motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it stimulates  
🗑
motor unit range   10 (precision) to 2000 (gross) fibers per unit  
🗑
ALL-OR-Nothing Principle   When a muscle fiber* contracts, it contracts all-the-way given the same starting point. (gun trigger)  
🗑
all muscle fibers of a given unit will   contract all the way  
🗑
recruitment   increasing the number of active motor units. Brain does this. Thus, more muscle strength of contraction  
🗑
muscle tone   minimum number of motor units that are always active. Enough to make the muscle tense, but not enough to produce movement. more active=more active units  
🗑
100 motor units and 50 fibers/unit =   5000 fibers/muscle  
🗑
flacid   cut the *NMJ  
🗑
twitch   single muscle response to a single stimulus  
🗑
twitch consists of (3)   latent period, period of contraction, period of relaxation  
🗑
tetanus   a sustained contraction in response to frequent stimuli  
🗑
refractory period   a period of time following a stimulus whereby the muscle fiber loses its excitability and connot respond to another stimulus. refuses to respond  
🗑
wave summation   occurs when a stimulus is applies AFTER the refractory period but the muscle has not completely relaxed. The second wave adds on to the first. different starting points.  
🗑
incomplete tetanus   a sustained contraction in response to high frequency stimuli but with attempts at relaxation. These are out everyday activities  
🗑
complete tetanus   a sustained contraction (with no relaxation) in response to a very high frequency of stimulation. Perhaps seen when lifting an elephant.  
🗑
isotonic contraction   Movement: muscle shortening with little increase in tension. Increases strength  
🗑
isometric contraction   No Movement: minimal shortening with great increase in tension. 2 sets muscle contractions. increases size  
🗑
how does length influence strength of a contraction   muscle fibers contract minimally when at optimal length, attained when muscle is slightly stretched. stregth of contraction reflects degree of overlap of the thick and thin filaments. over-stratching produces a decrease in the strength of a contraction  
🗑
muscle fibers do NOT   undergo mitosis. Only size of the CELL gets larger or smaller  
🗑
Atrophy   decrease in individual muscle cell size  
🗑
Hypertrophy   increase in individual muscle cell size  
🗑
immediate energy source for a contraction   ATP  
🗑
ATP energy time for exercise   5-6 seconds  
🗑
after 15 seconds   glycolysis kicks in  
🗑
5-15 seconds   Phosphocreatine (PC): high energy molecule that replenishes ATP stores  
🗑
ADP + PC --->   ATP + C  
🗑
Oxygen debt   build up of lactic acid - need O2 to get rid of pyruvic acid  
🗑
Glycolysy (anaerobic provides   2 ATP molecules/glucose..  
🗑
The Krebs Cycle (aerobic) provides   36 ATPs/glucose. But it is limited by the availability of oxygen and NAD+  
🗑
during intense exercise,Krebs cycle   cant keep up  
🗑
krebs cycle limitation is overcome by   catabolizing many molecules of glucose by glycolysis (anaerobic)  
🗑
pyruvic acid begins to build up and is converted to   lactic acid (pain, fatigue)  
🗑
lactic acid is disposed of by   the taking in of additional oxygen after exercise (heavy breathing). This build up of acid creates oxygen debt. Heavy breathing after exercuse pays back the debt.  
🗑
