In anatomy, a potential space is a space that can occur between two adjacent structures that are normally pressed together. The pleural cavity, between the visceral. Mechanism of Skeletal Muscle Contraction. Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle. Each skeletal muscles are composed of numerous muscle fibers. Each muscle fiber contains following structures Sarcolemma Plasma membrane of a muscle fiber that forms T tubules. Sarcoplasm Cytoplasm of a muscle fiber that contains organelles, including mitochondria. Glycogen A polysaccharide present in sarcoplasm that stores energy for muscle contraction. Myoglobin A red pigment present in sarcoplasm that stores oxygen for muscle contraction. T tubule Extension of the sarcolemma that extends into the muscle fiber and conveys impulses that causes Calcium to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Sarcoplasmic reticulum The smooth endoplasmic reticulum ER of a muscle fiber that stores calcium. Myofibril A bundle of myofilaments that contract. Myofilament Actin and myosin filaments whose structure and functions account muscle striations and contractions. A sarcomere extends between 2 dark lines called Z lines. A sarcomere contains 2 types of protein myofilaments Thick filaments made up of several molecules of myosin golf shaped with cross bridges double globular headThin filaments made up of 2 interwining strands of actin along with tropomyosin and troponin. The I band is light colored because it contains only actin filaments attached to Z line. The dark regions of A band Anisotropic contain overlapping actin and myosin filaments and its H zone has only myosin filaments. In physiology, body water is the water content of an animal body that is contained in the tissues, the blood, the bones and elsewhere. The percentages of body water. Course Syllabus BIOD 151 Essential Lab Human Anatomy Physiology I 4 credits Prerequisites General biology and chemistry recommended but not required. Anatomy Physiology REVEALED 3. 2 NEW Enhancements for Accessibility McGrawHill Education is committed to providing digital products that meet WCAG 2. 0 AA. I bands are isotropic to polarized light while A bands are anisotropic. When sarcomere shortens, the actin thin filaments slide pas the myosin thick filamets and approach one another. This causes I band to shorten and H zone to almost or completely disappear. During the sliding process, the sarcomere shortens even though the filaments themselves remain the same length. What keeps the myosin and actin filaments in place Titin filamentous molecules one of the largest protein molecules in the body and are springy in naturePhysiology of Skeletal muscle contraction. Neuromuscular Transmission Muscle fibers are innervated by motor neurons and the axon of one motor neuron has several branches and can stimulate from a few to several muscle fibers of a particular muscle. Each brach of the axon ends in an axon terminal that lies in close proximity to the sarcolemma of a muscle fiber. A small gap called a synaptic cleft, separates the axon bulb from the sarcolemma. This entire region is called a neuromuscular junction. Axon terminals contains synaptic vesicles that are filled with the neurotransmitter Acetylcholine. Action Potential AP in motor nerve axon terminal. Opening of voltage gated Ca. Calcium in axon terminal. Calicum activates calmodulin which activates protein kinase.

Hydrolysis of Ach by cholinesterase. Molecular mechansim of muscle contraction Actin filaments slide inward among the myosin filaments due to forces generated by interaction of the cross bridges from the myosin filaments with the actin filaments. Under resting conditions, these forces are inactive, but when an AP travels along the muscle fiber, this causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release large quantities of Ca. The Ca. 2 activate the forces between the myosin and actin filaments and contraction begins. This energy for contraction comes from ATP molecule which is degraded to ADP. Myosin filament composed of multiple myosin molecules 2. Tails of myosin molecules bundled together to form body of the filament many heads being outward to the sides of the body. Part of body of myosin molecule hangs to the side along with the head outward from the body protruding arms and heads together are called cross bridgesEach cross bridge is flexible at 2 points called hinges one where arm leaves the body and other where head attaches to the arms. There are no cross bridge heads in the very center of myosin filament for a distance of about 0. ATPase enzyme in the myosin head allows the head to cleave ATPActin filament backbone of actin filament is a double stranded F actin protein molecule 2 strands wound as helixeach strand of double F actin helix is composed of polymerized G actin moleculesattached to each one of the G actin molecules is one molecule of ADP active sites on actin filaments with which the cross bridges of myosin filaments interactbases of actin filaments are inserted strongly into the Z discs the ends of filamets protrude in both directions to lie in the spaces between the myosin molecules. Tropomyosin molecules wrapped spirally around the sides of the F actin helix. In the resting state, tropomyosin molecules lie on top of the active sites of the actin strands. Troponin attached intermittently along the sides of the tropomyosin molecules. Troponin are complexes of 3 loosely bound protein subunits. I greater affinity for actintroponin T greater affinity for tropomyosintroponin C greater affinity for Ca. The active sites on the normal actin filament of the relaxed muscle are inhibited or physically covered by the troponin tropomyosin complex. Consequently, the sites cannot attach to the heads of the myosin filaments to cause contractions. When Ca. 2 ions combine with troponin C, each molecule of which can bind strongly with upto 4 Ca. This uncovers the active sites of the actin allowing theses to attract myosin cross bridge heads and contraction proceeds. Walk along theory of contraction Mechanism of Skeletal muscle contraction. When a head attaches to an active site, this attachment simultaneously causes profound changes in the intramolecular forces between the head and arms of its cross bridge. The new alignment of forces causes the head to tilt toward the arm and to drag the actin filament along with it. This tilt of the head is called the powerstroke. Immediately after tilting, the head automatically breaks away from the active site and returns to its extended direction. In this position, it combines with a new active site farther down along the actin filament causing new powerstroke. Thus, the heads of the cross bridges bend back and forward and step by step walk along the actin filament, pulling the ends of 2 succesive actin filaments toward the center of the myosin filament. Each one of the cross bridges is believed to operate independently of all others, each attaching and pulling in a continuous repeated cycle. Heance, greater the number of cross bridges in contact with actin filament, greater willl be the force of contraction. Fenn Effect Large amounts of ATP are cleaved to form ADP during contraction process and as the work performed by the mucle increases, the amount of ATP cleaved will also increase. Role of ATP Before contraction, heads of cross bridges bind with ATP. ATPase activity of head cleaves ATP leaving ADP and phosphate ion bound to head. When troponin tropomyosin complex binds with Ca. Power stroke is activated by the energy already stored, like a cocked spring, by the conformational change that occured in the head when ATP molecule was cleaved earlier. Tilted head of cross bridge allows release of ADP and phosphate ion that were previously bound to the head.
