major intracellular structures; long, parallel contractile structures
myofibrils, glycogen granules, mitochondria
structures found inside a skeletal muscle fiber
sarcoplasmic reticulum
modified ER found in skeletal muscle cells ,longitudinal tubules that wraps each myofibril
terminal cisternae
ends of sarcoplasmic reticulum; Concentrates calcium with at Ca2+ ATPase
transverse “t” tubules

-lumen is continuous with ECF
2 terminal cisternae and a t tubule
what makes up a triad in a skeletal muscle cell?
1000
about how many myofibrils are found in each muscle fiber?
sarcomere
proteins within the myofibrils that form functional contractile units
a series of interactions between muscle proteins
what causes muscle contraction?
myosin
thick filament, grabs and pulls, motor protein with head neck and tail regions
actin
thin filament, structural rods
tropomyosin
blocks actin binding site, cannot have contraction when in place
troponin
calcium binds, controls tropomyosin
head
myosin motor domain that binds ATP, can bind actin
crossbridge
formed when myosin head binds to actin
titan and nebulin
-Elastic proteins, helps stabilize position of actin and myosin
-Elastic properties return stretched muscle to resting length
alternating light and dark bands
what does the sarcomere look like under microscope?
I band
Sarcomere region with only thin filaments
A band
Sarcomere region thick and thin filaments overlap
Z disk
found in center of I band, protein attachment sites for actin
H zone
found in center of A band, only thick filaments present
m line
center of sarcomere: center proteins, attachment for thick filament (myosin)
NMJ
where does signaling for muscle contraciton start?
synaptic vesicles
membrane bound vesicles that contain neurotransmitters
increased Na+ inside cell
what causes electrical signal in muscles
t-tubule
what brings action potential into core of muscle?
excitation contraction coupling
Refers to the relationship b/w AP generation in muscle, increased intracellular
calcium levels, and initiation of contraction-relaxation cycle in sarcomere
I band
what band of the sarcomere shortens in contraction?
sliding filament theory
describes actin and myosin sliding by each othe
Ca2+
what ion does AP release from the SR?
DHP and Ryanodine receptor
2 proteins involved in calcium release
Rigor state
Contractile cycle state where myosin head is bound to actin, not ATP
Resting State
Contractile cycle state where myosin (Myosin ATPase) hydrolyzes ATP → ADP + Pi; prevents full binding between actin/myosin
Ca2+ influx
what begins a power stroke?
the M line
in a power stroke….. myosin moves actin toward _________
myosin releases ADP and goes back to rigor state
what happens after a power stroke?
muscle “twitch”
single contraction and relaxation phase
Myosin, Ca2+, and Na-K ATPase
types of ATP needed by skeletal muscle
glycolysis/oxidative phosphorylation, phosphocreatine
what processes are skeletal muscle ATP sources
fatigue
muscles not able to generate expected power output
central fatigue
fatigue w/ CNS origins, subjective feelings, psychological basis
peripheral fatigue
fatigue anywhere b/w NMJ and contraction process
no
do all muscle fiber types fatigue at the same rate?
contraction speed and fatigue resistance
how can muscle fibers be classified?
Slow twitch (type I)
Muscle type used for posture
-Oxidative
-Endurance
Fast twitch oxidative (Type IIA)
-Faster movements; fatigue resistant
-Oxidative
Fast twitch (type IIB)
-Fastest, fatigable
