Ch 9 Muscle Physiology Functions of Skeletal Muscle • • • • movement maintain posture stabilize joints heat production Gross anatomy • • • • muscle many fascicles fascicle = bundle muscle cell = muscle fiber myofibrils many cells many myofibrils contractile tissue microanatomy • • • • sarcolemma – T tubules cell membrane run deep into SR stores Ca++ sarcoplasmic reticulum – – surrounds myofibrils terminal cisternae sarcoplasm – – = cytoplasm glycogen myoglobin sarcomere unit of contraction sarcomere • • • • • • unit of contraction many along length of myofibril - “striations” Z line ends of sarcomere A band (dark) myosin and overlapping actin I band non-overlapping actin (light) contractile proteins – – thin filament actin thick filament myosin contractile proteins • • thick filament – – tail shaft heads 2 binding sites for actin thin filament – – – myosin actin actin helical chain of actin molecules myosin binding sites tropomyosin covers actin – myosin binding sites troponin binds tropomyosin to actin Ca++ binding sites Contraction of Sarcomere • • • Sliding Filament Model actin and myosin slide past each other Z lines get closer = sarcomere shortens actin – myosin binding • • • • • ++ Ca binds to troponin troponin changes shape pulls tropomyosin off the actin binding sites exposed actin and myosin bind myosin and ATP • • w/ ATP – myosin extended ATP ADP + P w/o ADP + P myosin bends put it together • • • • resting myosin extended w/ ADP stimulus Ca cross bridge formation myosin and actin bind power stroke actin knocks off ADP myosin bends pulls actin • detachment ATP binds to myosin head breaks bond with actin • “cocking” of myosin heads ATP extends myosin ATP ADP + P energy used to bend head • repeats • • • • • some myosin always in contact with actin cycle repeats several times – so, no backward movement pulling actin further 1 power stroke shortens muscle about 1% muscles shorten ~ 30 – 35 % of their resting length continues as long as Ca++ and ATP present Neuromuscular excitation • • GOAL: release Ca from SR how? depolarize sarcolemma Neuromuscular junction • • • • motor neuron + muscle fiber axon terminal – – synaptic vesicles release neurotransmitter acetylcholine (Ach) synapse motor end plate – – receptors sarcolemma at synapse for Ach Acetylcholinesterase Sarcolemma • • • polarized + outside / - inside Na channels – – chemically gated at motor end plate voltage gated along sarcolemma receptors for Ach motor end plate only depolarization • • • polarized cell membrane – + out / - inside resting membrane potential (same as neuron) Ach opens Na channel (ligand gated) – nature wants ? depolarization + in / - ouside action potential • • • • depolarization + in / - ouside + + inside (Na ) opens adjacent Na channels – voltage gated this spreads along entire cell membrane all or none same for neurons and muscle fibers from depolarization to calcium • • • + Na rushes in thru sarcolemma and T tubules Na+ inside opens voltage gated Ca channels in SR sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca++ excitation-contraction coupling • • • • • • • • neuron depolarizes depolarization reaches axon terminal rush of Ca++ into axon terminal Ca++ causes release of Acetylcholine into synapse Ach binds with receptors on motor endplate Ach causes Na channels to open Na+ rushes into muscle cell sarcolemma depolarizes cont. • • • • • • + Na rushes in thru sarcolemma and T tubules Na+ inside causes sarcoplasmic reticulum to release Ca ++ Ca++ binds to troponin pulls tropomyosin off actin actin and myosin bind sliding – – – – – actin knocks ADP + P off myosin myosin bends pulls actin closer ATP breaks myosin – actin bond myosin extends repeat How do you stop this darn thing?
