Muscle Fiber
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The distal end of a motor neuron releases acetylcholine | Muscle Fiber Contraction (1) |
| Acetylcholine diffues across the gap at the neromuscular junction binding to receptors on the muscle fiber membrane. | Muscle Fiber Contraction (2) |
| The muscle fiber membrane is stimulated, and a muscle impulse travels deep into the fiber through the transverse. | Muscle Fiber Contraction (3) |
| Calcium ions diffuse from the sacroplasmic reticulum into the sarcoplasmic and bind to troponin. | Muscle Fiber Contraction (4) |
| Troponin and tropomyosin interact to expose binding sites on actin. | Muscle Fiber Contraction (5) |
| Actin and mysoin filaments form linkages | Muscle Fiber Contraction (6) |
| Mysoin cross bridges pull actin filaments inward | Muscle Fiber Contraction (7) |
| The muscle fiber shortens as a contraction occurs. | Muscle Fiber Contraction (8) |
| Acetylcholinesterase decomposes acetylcholine, and the muscle fiber membrane is no longer stimulated. | Muscle Fiber Relaxation (1) |
| Calcium ions are actively transported into the sarcoplasmic reticulum | Muscle Fiber Relaxation (2) |
| ATP cause linkages between actin and mysoin filaments to break without being broken down itself. | Muscle Fiber Relaxation (3) |
| Torponin and tropomyosin interact, blocking binding sites on actin. | Muscle Fiber Relaxation (4) |
| Thr muscle fiber relaxes | Muscle Fiber Relaxation (5) |
| ATP breakdown "cocks" myosin cross-bridges. The muscle fiber remains ready for further stimulation | Muscle Fiber Relaxation (6) |
