| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What would happen if you have lack of acid flow cholinesterase in synaptic cleft? | More actin potential will occur |
| Actin and Myosin | Actin and myosin filiments do not change in length during contraction of skeletal muscle, but the slide past one another, causing the sarcomeres to shorten. |
| Sarcomeres | Shorten during muscle contraction and lengthen during relaxation. |
| Repolarization | Occurs when Na+ channels close and k+ channels open. This allows k+ to move out of the cell past polarized phase hyperpolarization. |
| Depolarization | Depolarization is caused by decrease in the charge difference or polarity across the plasme membrane. |
| What results if acetylcholine binds to a membrane bound receptor? | Depolarization |
| What does the use of a drug blocking acetylcholine receptors result in? | Less action potential-because they degrade enzyme in synaptic cleft. |
| Passageway for calcium from the sarcolemma? | Voltage gated calcium channels in presynaptic membrace |
| Role of calcium during muscle contraction? | Calcium causes the synaptic vesicles to open and release ache |
| How does relaxation occur? | Relaxation occurs as a result of the transport of calcium back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. |
| Interference of the transport of calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum results in? | Muscle contraction? |
| What is an ATP molecule required for? | It is needed for muscles to contract as well as for muscle fibers to relax. |
| Where do calcium ions go after muscle contraction occurs? | Calcium ions are transported back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum for muscle relaxation. |
| Depolarize | less negativity inside the plasma membrane |
| Repolarize | return of resting membrane potential |
| Hyperpolarize | increase of the charge difference across the plasma membrane |
| Troponin | Troponin is composed of three subunits: one that binds actin second that binds to tropomyosin and the third that has a binding site for calcium. |
