Muscles movement
 Volunteery striated muscle

skeletal muscles come in
antagonistic pairs
 flexor vs. extensor

contracting = shortening
 move skeletal parts

Tendon
 connect bone to muscle

Ligament
 connect bone to bone
AP Biology
Structure of striated skeletal muscle
 Muscle Fiber
 Myofibril
 divided into sections = sarcomeres
 Sacromere

alternating bands of
thin (actin) & thick (myosin)
protein filaments

myosin molecule
 long protein with globular head
bundle of myosin proteins:

Thick & thin filaments
 Myosin tails aligned together & heads pointed

Closer look at muscle cell

Ca2+ ATPase of SR
Muscle cell organelles
 Sarcoplasm


muscle cell cytoplasm
contains many mitochondria
Sarcoplasmic reticulum

organelle similar to ER

network of tubes
T tubules stimulate


AP Biology
Ca2+ released from SR through channels
Ca2+ restored to SR by Ca2+ pumps
 pump Ca2+ from cytosol
 pumps use ATP
ATP
Muscle at rest
 Interacting proteins

at rest, troponin molecules hold tropomyosin
fibers so that they cover the myosin-binding
sites on actin
 troponin has Ca2+ binding sites
AP Biology
The Trigger: motor neurons
 Motor neuron triggers muscle contraction

AP Biology
release acetylcholine (Ach) neurotransmitter
Nerve trigger of muscle action
 Nerve signal travels
down T-tubule

stimulates
sarcoplasmic
reticulum (SR) of
muscle cell to
release stored Ca2+

flooding muscle
fibers with Ca2+
AP Biology
Ca2+ triggers muscle action
 At rest, tropomyosin
blocks myosin-binding
sites on actin

secured by troponin
 Ca2+ binds to troponin

shape change
causes movement
of troponin

releasing tropomyosin

exposes myosinbinding sites on actin

How Ca2+ controls muscle
 ____________________


exposed actin binds to
myosin
fibers slide past each
other
ATP
 ratchet system

shorten muscle cell
 muscle contraction

muscle doesn’t relax
until Ca2+ is pumped
back into SR
 requires ATP

How it all works…
 Action potential causes Ca2+ release from SR

Ca2+ binds to troponin
 Troponin moves tropomyosin uncovering myosin

binding site on actin
Myosin binds actin


ATP
uses ATP to "ratchet" each time
releases, "unratchets" & binds to next actin
 Myosin pulls actin chain along
 Sarcomere shortens

Z discs move closer together
 Whole fiber shortens  contraction!
 Ca2+ pumps restore Ca2+ to SR  relaxation!

AP Biology
pumps use ATP
ATP
Fast twitch & slow twitch muscles
 Slow twitch muscle fibers

contract slowly, but keep going for a long
time
 more mitochondria for aerobic respiration
 less SR  Ca2+ remains in cytosol longer
long distance runner
 “dark” meat = more blood vessels

 Fast twitch muscle fibers

contract quickly, but get tired rapidly
 store more glycogen for anaerobic respiration
sprinter
AP Biology “white” meat

Muscle limits
 Muscle fatigue

lack of sugar
 lack of ATP to restore Ca2+ gradient

low O2
 lactic acid drops pH which
interferes with protein function

synaptic fatigue
 loss of acetylcholine
 Muscle cramps



build up of lactic acid
ATP depletion
ion imbalance
 massage or stretching
AP Biology
increases circulation
Diseases of Muscle tissue
 ALS
amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
 Lou Gehrig’s disease
 motor neurons degenerate

making of ATP.
ATP is no longer operates the SERCA pumps in the membrane
of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which pump calcium ions into
the terminal cisternae.
This causes calcium ions to diffuse from the terminal cisternae
and extracellular fluid to the sarcomere
Ca+ binding with troponin allows for crossbridging to occur
between myosin and actin proteins.
Body is unable to complete the cycle and release the coupling
between the myosin and actin; perpetual state of muscular
contraction,
Following the breakdown of muscle tissue by digestive enzymes
during decomposition, muscles relax

So don’t be a stiff!
