Muscle fibre cell surface membrane
Sarcolemma
1 of 22
Myofibrils
Protein strands which cause contraction
2 of 22
I Band
Just actin
3 of 22
A Band
Actin and myosin
4 of 22
H Zone
Just myosin
5 of 22
Actin
Thin filament, has binding sites for myosin which are covered by TROPOMYOSIN when the muscle is relaxed
6 of 22
Myosin
Thick filament, head of myosin extends out and contains ATP and ATPase on the actin binding site
7 of 22
Calcium ions released from the _____
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
8 of 22
Role of calcium ions
Bind to tropomyosin and move it from the binding site, activate the ATPase
9 of 22
ATPase role
Hydrolyses the ATP on the binding site so a cross bridge can form between actin and myosin - also provide the energy for power stroke
10 of 22
I band during contraction
Narrows
11 of 22
A band during contraction
Stays the same
12 of 22
Outer edges of the dark bands during contraction
Widens
13 of 22
H zone during contraction
Narrows
14 of 22
Neurotransmitter released at motor end plate
Always acetylcholine
15 of 22
EPPs
End plate potentials
16 of 22
Action potential travels down the ____ which connect to the ________
T-tubules which connect to the sarcoplasmic reticulum
17 of 22
Acetylcholine is broken down by ________ and is _______
Acetylcholinesterase and actively transported back to the pre synaptic membrane
18 of 22
Slow muscle fibres
Contract slowly, many mitochondria, aerobic respiration, high resistance to fatigue, myoglobin, low stores of glycogen
19 of 22
Fast muscle fibres
Contract quickly, few mitochondria, anaerobic respiration, low resistance to fatigue, many glycogen stores, no myoglobin
20 of 22
3 METHODS OF ENERGY SUPPLY DURING CONTRACTION
1)Aerobic respiration 2)Anaerobic 3)Phosphocreatine system
21 of 22
Equation for ATP/CP System
Phosphocreatine + ADP = ATP + Creatine
