Transverse tubules(T-tubules)

Muscle cell organelles• _________________________

– muscle cell cytoplasm– contains many mitochondria

• _________________________– organelle similar to ER

• network of tubes– _________________

• Ca2+ released from SR through channels• Ca2+ restored to SR by Ca2+ pumps

– pump Ca2+ from cytosol– pumps use ATP

Ca2+ ATPase of SR

The restof theATPs!

But whatdoes theCa2+ do?

Muscle at rest• Interacting proteins

– at rest, ________ molecules hold _____________ fibers so that they cover the myosin-binding sites on actin• troponin has Ca2+ binding sites

The Trigger: motor neurons • Motor neuron triggers muscle contraction

– release ______________ (Ach) neurotransmitter

• Nerve signal travels down ___________– stimulates

sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) of muscle cell to ________________

– flooding muscle fibers with Ca2+

Nerve trigger of muscle action

• At rest, tropomyosin _______ myosin-binding sites on actin– secured by troponin

• Ca2+ binds to ________– _______________

causes movement of troponin

– releasing tropomyosin– ___________________

__________ on actin

Ca2+ triggers muscle action

Coupling Excitation to Contraction1. Ca2+ ____ action potentials to contraction.

2. At rest, Ca2+ is stored in the __________.

3. Spaced along the plasma membrane (_____________) of the muscle fiber are inpocketings of the membrane that form ________ of the “__________". These tubules plunge repeatedly into the interior of the fiber.

4.The tubules of the T system terminate near the ___________________ of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

5. Each action potential created at the neuromuscular junction sweeps quickly along the sarcolemma and is carried into the T system.

How Ca2+ controls muscle• __________________

– exposed actin binds to myosin

– fibers slide past each other• ratchet system

– shorten muscle cell• muscle contraction

– muscle doesn’t relax until Ca2+ is pumped back into SR • requires ATP

How it all works…• Action potential causes ______ release from SR

– Ca2+ binds to ______________• Troponin moves ____________ uncovering

___________________ on actin• Myosin binds ______

– uses ____ to "ratchet" each time– releases, "unratchets" & binds to next actin

• Myosin pulls actin chain along• Sarcomere _________
