Two major types of muscle • Smooth • Striated a. skeletal b. cardiac
My knowledge about striated muscle I know the structure: A, I bands, Z lines I know the sliding filament hypothesis, the cycling of actin and myosin I know how muscle relaxes I understand how muscle contractions are controlled by nerves (motor units) I know what twitch and tetanus mean
I know • All of this • Most of this • Some of this • None of this
How does a muscle fiber contract?How does the nerve command the contraction?How does a muscle fiber relax?How is smooth, graded force generated in a muscle?
What is the switch for muscle fiber contraction? • ATP • Myosin • Actin • Ca++
Why does skeletal muscle relax? • the action potential is over and the muscle fiber returns to its resting membrane potential • Ca++ is sequestered into the SR • muscle runs out of ATP • an inhibitory neurotransmitter is released that causes the muscle to relax.
