steps in sk m. contraction
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| step 1. | nerve impulse from motor neuron |
| step 2. | ACh is release from motor neuron |
| step 3. | ACh makes neuromusclar gap and binds to ACh receptors |
| step 4. | sarcolemma is stimulated, and impulses travel down T tubles to sarcoplasmic reticulum |
| step 5. | Ca diffuses from SR & binds to troponin |
| step 6. | tropomyosin molecules move and expose specific sights on actin filaments |
| step 7. | actin and myosin filaments link |
| step 8. | actin filaments are pulled inward by myosin cross bridges using ATP |
| step 9 | mucles fibers shortens |
| 8 things needed for m. contraction | stiumlant, ATP,ACh m. receptors, Ca, Na, K, protein |
