Chpt. 49 Muscles & Motor Locomotion Why Do We Need All That ATP?
Function of Muscles: • To convert chemical energy of ATP into mechanical work, • To get around… • To get your food • To digest your food • To pump your heart so that oxygen can get to that mitochondria
Types of Muscle Tissue: • 1) Cardiac rapid contraction • 2) Skeletal rapid contraction • 3) Smooth slow sustained contraction
involuntary, striatedauto-rhythmic voluntary, striated heart moves bone multi-nucleated involuntary, non-striated digestive systemarteries, veins evolved first
As a side … • Insect flight muscles contract more rapidly than ANY OTHER • 1,000 contractions/second • Highest metabolic rate • Contain more mitochondria than any other tissue • HOW get oxygen???
skeletal muscles move bones by pulling…not pushing, therefore they come in antagonistic pairs:
So in other words, in order to flex, you must contract your flexor muscles… and in order to, relax, you must contract the antagonistic muscle flexor vs. extensor
Extensor (quadracep) Notice the TENDON connects the muscle to the bone. One bone is pulled towards another bone upon contraction.
composed of smaller & smaller &smaller units Vertebrate Skeletal Muscle Structure: plasma membrane skeletal muscle nuclei tendon muscle fiber (cell) myofibrils myofilaments
Vertebrate Skeletal Muscle each muscle fiber = one long, cylindrical, multinucleated cell
Vertebrate Skeletal Muscle Bundle of fibers Muscle fibercells composed of: bundles of myofibrils (threadlike structures)
Myofibrils consist of even smaller structures: thick filaments thin filaments
myofibrils have a regular arrangement regular arrangement regular arrangement regular arrangement regular arrangement
sarcomere = basic unit of a myofibril - hundreds are connected end to end & make up the myofibril
sarcomeres are made of these proteins: thick filaments thin filaments
Thin filaments: actin • Complex (bunch) of proteins: • braid of actin molecules & tropomyosinfibers • tropomyosin fibers secured with troponin complex • these are proteins
Thick filaments: myosin • Single protein • myosin molecule • long protein with globular head bundle of myosin proteins: globular heads aligned
Thick & thin filaments • Myosin tails aligned together & heads pointed away from center of sarcomere
sarcomere = basic unit of a myofibril - hundreds are connected end to end & make up the myofibril
making up the sarcomere… Z-lines = the borders of the sarcomere (actin)
at rest, thethickmyosin & thin actin filaments in the sarcomere do not overlap completely:
Area in which both:thin actin filaments & thick myosin filaments= Aband
More muscle anatomy: Ttubule = inward extension of the plasma membrane
More muscle anatomy: sarcoplasmicreticulum = another name for endoplasmic reticulum
Motor Unit (Usually hundreds of muscle fibers)
NEUROTRANSMITTOR ~ ACETYLCHOLINEreleased as action potential moves to synaptic terminal of muscle fiber
The acetylcholine causes the action potential to continue in the muscle fiber
The action potential spreads into T-Tubules(invaginations in the membrane of the muscle fibers)
The a.p. opens Ca+2 channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum (e.r.)
The special type of smooth endoplasmic reticulum found in smooth and striated muscle fibers whose function is to store and release calcium ions.
Sliding Filament Model Thin actin filament has myosinbindingsites… At restmyosinbindingsites are blocked (with trypomyosin)
Sliding Filament Model Thin actin filament has myosinbindingsites… myosinbindingsites are opened when Ca+2 binds to the troponin. (Ca+2 is released as a result of acetylcholein rushing through the T-tubules)
Sliding Filament Model At rest, myosin head is bound to an ATP -- ATP
Sliding Filament Model when Ca+2 floods into the cell, Myosin head hydrolyzes (breaks) ATP to ADP and P --.
Sliding Filament Model Myosin binds to Actin -- this forms a cross-bridge When this occurs, the myosin head changes shape and releases the ADP + P
Sliding Filament Model the myosin head changes shape and releases the ADP + P
Sliding Filament Model The thin actin filament is pulled toward the center of the sarcomere…
