Yesterday we finished off talking about the different kinds of muscle contractions. Today we are going to look at how a muscle produces these contractions.

1 Structure of Skeletal Muscle We will begin our look at the structure of muscle starting with the largest structures and working our way down to the smallest.

Pages  Stimulus generated capabilities: ◦ Irritability (also called responsiveness)—ability to receive and respond to a stimulus ◦ Contractility—ability.

Presentation transcript:

The Sliding Filament Theory

Steps to the Sliding Filament Theory 1.A message originates in the brain and is released to the central nervous system (CNS) 2. The message travels down the spinal cord and then to the peripheral nervous system (PNS) 3. The message travels from the axon branch (pathway) to the axon terminal of the muscle.

Steps The message is carried through the axon terminal via acetylcholine (Ach) to the sarcolemma of each muscle fibre involved 5.Ach causes calcium (Ca+) to be released 6.Ca+ ions find their way to the attachment sites on troponin (found on actin’s tropomyosin)

Steps Tropomyosin swivels, causing the binding sites for myosin (on actin) to be exposed 8.Myosin heads attach to the binding sites on actin 9.ATP is broken down by ATPase causing the power stroke

Steps 10 & Contraction will continue until you decide to stop. As long as calcium is present, contraction will continue. 11.Once you decide to stop the activation, calcium with withdraw into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Troponin and tropomyosin will cover the binding sites for myosin, and the muscle will return to a resting state.

Watch this!

ATP: Adenosine Triphosphate When the nerve impulse is transmitted to the muscle fiber calcium is released When the nerve impulse is transmitted to the muscle fiber calcium is released Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy source that allows for the calcium to be released Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is the energy source that allows for the calcium to be released
