Muscle Topic 4-1 February 2014
Mid-term Exam • Friday, Feb. 14th • 9:00-9:50 am • Mix multiple choice, short answer, fill in the blank, label a diagram • Pathways are important
Lecture Overview • Muscle structure • Sarcomeres • Excitation-contraction coupling • Ca2+ control of contraction • Sliding filament model • Actino-myosin activity • Relaxation
Muscle Cells • Two main types of muscle cells are based on the arrangement of actin and myosin • Striated (striped appearance) • Smooth (do not appear striped) Figure 5.16

Striated Muscle Types Table 5.3
Myofibrils in Muscle Cells Figure 5.20
Myofibrils • Single, linear continuous stretch of interconnected sarcomeres (i.e., in series) • Have parallel arrangement in the cell • More myofibrils in parallel can generate more force
Striated Muscle Cell Structure • Thick and thin filaments arranged into sarcomeres • Repeated in parallel and in series • Side-by-side across myocyte • Causes striated appearance • End-to-end along myocyte
Sarcomeres • Structural features of sarcomeres • Z-disk • A-band (anisotropic band) • I-band (isotropic band) • M-line
Actin & Myosin • Major components of microfilaments • Used for movement and movement of cellular components (vesicles)
Actin • Monomers = G-actin • Polymers = F-actin • Can spontaneously assemble/disassemble
Actin polymerization Figure 5.9
Myosin • 17 different classes of myosin • Multiple isoforms within each class • Muscle myosin = type II • General organization • Head • Neck • Tail
Myosin Figure 5.12
Myosin Isoforms • Properties of isoforms affect contraction • Multiple isoforms of myosin II in muscle • Isoforms can change over time Table 5.4
Contractile Elements • Thick filaments • Polymers of myosin • ~300 myosin II hexamers • Thin filaments • Polymers of -actin • Ends capped by tropomodulin and CapZ to stabilize • Proteins troponin and tropomyosin on outer surface

Three-Dimensional Structure of Sarcomere Figure 5.18
Sarcomeres Figure 5.17
Auxiliary Proteins • Nebulin • Along length of thin filament • Titin • Keeps thick filament centered in sarcomere • Attaches thick filament to Z-disk

Acetylcholine Figure 4.17
Acetylcholine • 1 of many NTs in autonomic system • Sole NT for motor division of the somatic system • 1st identified by Henry Dale http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR8mzV4vXbaOt8PSXQTlcSPmqJOOTMlz3TY2OO1_P2_F-K5QToy
Receptors for Acetylcholine • Cholinergic receptors • Nicotinic receptor • Ionotropic • Muscarinic receptor • Metabotropic • Linked to ion channel function via G-protein
Receptors for Acetylcholine Figure 4.29
Receptors for Acetylcholine Table 4.5
Depolarization • Neurogenic (“beginning in the nerve”) • Excited by neurotransmitters from motor nerves • Can have multiple (tonic) or single (twitch) innervation sites • Receptor is nicotinic • ionotropic
Action Potentials • APs along sarcolemma signal contraction • Na+ enters cell when Na+ channels open • Depolarization • Voltage-gated Ca2+ channel open • Increase in cytoplasmic [Ca2+] • Na+ channels close • K+ leaves cell when K+ channels open • Repolarization • Reestablishment of ion gradients by Na+/K+ ATPase and Ca2+ ATPase
Time Course of Depolarization Figure 5.24
