Is there any differences between muscle fiber for the ATP hydrolysis and synthesis?
Three types of skeletal muscle fibers: • 1- Slow-oxidative (type I) fibers • 2- Fast-oxidative (type IIa) fibers • 3- Fast-glycolytic (type IIb, IId, IIx) fibers
Fast fibers have higher myosin-ATPase activity than slow fibers. Some fiber are better equipped for oxidative phosphorylation.
Oxidative fibers characteristics: • More mitochondria • More capillaries • More myoglobin content Figure 3.25b
Fast-glycolytic have following characteristics: • Few mitochondria • High glycogen content • Few capillaries • Low myoglobin and pale • High myosin-ATase activity • High intensity of contraction Figure 3.25b
Smooth Muscles Figure 3.25b
Smooth share some basic properties with skeletal muscle: 1- They are all have a specialized contractile apparatus. 2- They are all directly use ATP as energy source for cross-bridge cycling. Figure 3.25b
Some more important of smooth muscle characteristics: • Smooth muscle cells are spindle-shaped. • Unlike skeletal muscle cells, a single smooth muscle cell does not extend the full length of a muscle. • A group of smooth muscle cells are typically arranged in sheets. • Lacking sarcomeres, smooth muscle does not have Z lines as such, but dense bodies containing the same protein constituent found in Z lines are present. Figure 3.25b
A smooth muscle cell has three types of filaments: • Thick myosin filaments, which are longer than those found in skeletal muscle. • Thin actin filaments, which contain tropomyosin but lack the regulator protein troponin. • Filament of intermediated size.
The smooth muscle cells are divided to two groups: • Single unit smooth muscle cells • Multiunit smooth muscle cells Gap junctions electrically link the muscle fiber in a single-unit smooth muscle. Figure 3.25b
Multiunit smooth muscle exhibits properties partway between skeletal muscle and a single unit muscle. Multiunit smooth muscle consist of multiple discrete units that function independently of each other and must be separately stimulated by nerves to contracts. Figure 3.25b
Cardiac Muscles Cardiac muscles share structural and functional characteristics with both skeletal and single unit smooth muscles. Figure 3.25b
