Anatomy Name___________________ Date___________Hour_____ Skeletal Muscle Activity Neuromuscular Junction Motor Unit Neuron Axon Axon Terminals Dendrites Muscle Fiber Synaptic Cleft Acetylcholine (ACh) – neurotransmitter that stimulates skeletal muscle cells; leads to an influx of Na+ ions, generating an action potential; triggers release of Ca+2 ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum http://www.neuroanatomy.wisc.edu/SClinic/Weakness/Nmj.JPG Sliding Filament Theory 1. Influx of calcium triggers the exposure of binding sites on actin. Action potential release of Ca+2 Ca+2 binds to troponin troponin moves tropomyosin exposing active site of actin. 2. Myosin binds to actin. 3. The power stroke of the cross bridge causes the sliding of thin filaments. 4. Binding of ATP causes cross bridge to disconnect from actin. 5. Hydrolysis of ATP leads to re-energizing and repositioning of the cross bridge. 6. Active transport of calcium ions into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Energy for Muscle Contraction Muscles require ATP for muscle contraction. Muscles contain only 4-6 seconds worth of ATP. ATP must continuously be regenerated. A lack of ATP such as in death leads to rigor mortis. Three ways ATP is generated: Direct Phosphorylation of ADP by Creatine Phosphate CP + ADP creatine + ATP No Oxygen Required 1 ATP per Creatine Phosphate Provides 15 seconds of energy Fastest source of energy Aerobic Respiration (also called Oxidative Phosphorylation) Glucose Pyruvic Acid CO2 + H2O Requires Oxygen 36 ATP per molecule of glucose (38 Total = Glycolysis, Krebs & ETC) Provides energy for hours Energy comes from glucose, pyruvic acid, fatty acids & amino acids Occurs in mitochondria Anaerobic Respiration Glycogen Glucose ATP + Pyruvic Acid Lactic Acid No Oxygen Required 2 ATP per molecule of glucose Provides 30-60 seconds of energy Faster than aerobic respiration but very inefficient Lactic acid build up in muscles and leads to muscle soreness & fatigue Types of Muscle Contractions Isotonic – same tone; muscles shorten in size Ex. bending knee, curling arm Isometric – same length; muscles do not shorten in size; tension increases Ex. holding a heavy object Graded Responses “All or none” law applies to muscle cells not whole muscles 1. Changing the frequency of muscle stimulation 2. Changing the number of muscle cells being stimulated
