BIO241 Muscle questions
LABORATORY 10 MUSCLE TISSUE SECTION 2: STRUCTURE OF A SKELETAL MUSCLE FIBER A. A muscle fiber, or muscle cell, is cylindrical in shape and is surrounded by the sarcolemma, or cell membrane . Inside the cell is the cytoplasm, or sarcoplasm, which contains numerous oval nuclei, mitochond ria, and myofibrils. Myofibrils play a fundament al role in muscle contraction . They contain overlapping thick and thin filaments. The thick filaments are composed of the protein myosin. The thin filaments are composed of the protein actin, in association with the regulatory proteins tropomyos in and troponin. The filaments are arranged in compartme nts called sarcomeres, which are the basic contractile units of a myofibril. A membrano us network called the sarcoplasmic reticulum surrounds the myofibrils and stores calcium ions, which are required for muscle contraction .

The motor neurons carry the message in the form of an electrical signal called an (1) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ to the place where the neuron communicates with the muscle fiber called the (2) __________ or NMJ. The NMJ consists of three parts: (1) the end of the motor neuron, or (3) – – – – – – – – – ~ (2) the specialized area of the muscle fiber’s sarcolemma called the (4) __________, and (3) the gap in between called the (5) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Transmitting the electrical signal across the gap requires a chemical messenger called a (6) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _____, The neurotransmitter for skeletal muscle is called (7) __________ or ACh. _r WORD BANK 1-7 Acetylcholine Axon terminal Motor end plate Action potential Neurotransmitter Neuromuscular junction Synaptic cleft When an (BJ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ reaches the (9) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ of a motor neuron, vesicles stored in the cytoplasm of the motor neuron release (10) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ into the (11) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___, This diffuses across the (12) _ _ _ _ _ _ __ and binds to (13) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ on the (14) . This causes (15} _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ channels in the sarcolemma to open, and (16) _ _ _ _ _ _ __ ions from the extracellular fluid rush into the cytoplasm of the muscle cell. This results in the generation of an action potential in the muscle cell.

Calcium binds to (15) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ___, which causes a conformational change, moving (16) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ away from the (17) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _-binding sites on actin. The energized myosin heads now bind to the exposed sites on actin, forming (18) . The heads then flex, producing a ratcheting motion known as the (19) . This causes the thin filaments to slide past the thick filaments, pulling the ends of the sarcomere closer together and causing the muscle cell to contract. The (20) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ head now binds another molecule of (21) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ releasing myosin from the (22) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ __ binding site. As long as (23) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ions are present and (24) _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is available to supply energy, this process repeats over and over, and muscle contraction continues.
