Document Summary

Bsc2011 - integrated principles of biology 2 - lecture 23: muscles part 2. Sarcoplasmic reticulum are the endoplasmic reticulum of the muscle. They go throughout the whole cell and surround the myofibrils. 1) acetylcholine released from the axon terminal binds to receptors on the sarcolemma. 2) an action potential is generated and travels down the t-tubule. 3) ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to the change in voltage. 4) ca2= binds troponin; cross-bridges from between actin and myosin. 5) acetylcholinesterase removes acetylcholine from the synaptic cleft. 6) ca2+ is transported back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 7) tropomyosin binds active sites on actin causing cross-bridge to detach. A twitch is around a 10th or 5th of a second. Functions of calcium in regulation of muscles: Calcium stimulated acetylcholine release from motor neurons. Calcium stimulates transmitter release from autonomic neurons to the sa node of the heart.
