3. Unit of muscle contraction Muscle fiber (cell) Nuclei Skeletal muscle Muscle fiber Nucleus Junction between two cells Cardiac muscle* Muscle fiber Smooth muscle* Nucleus *Under INVOLUNTARY control Intercalated discs

4. Muscle Several muscle fibers Single muscle fiber (cell) Plasma membrane Nuclei Myofibril Light band Dark band Light band Z line Sarcomere Z line Thick filaments (myosin) Thin filaments (actin)  Muscle fibers = single muscle cell –have many nuclei –Contains myofibrils

5. Plasma membrane Nuclei Myofibril Light band Dark band Light band Z line Sarcomere Single muscle fiber (cell)  Myofibrils = protein cables of overlapping –thick filaments –composed of the protein myosin and –thin filaments –composed of the protein actin.

6. Sarcomere Z line Thick filaments (myosin) Thin filaments (actin) Light band Dark band Light band Z line Sarcomere  Sarcomeres = contractile unit of muscle fiber –repeating groups of overlapping thick and thin filaments

7. Relaxed muscle Contracting muscle Fully contracted muscle Dark band Sarcomere Contracted sarcomere ZZ Sarcomere contracts (shortens) when its thin filaments slide across its thick filaments

8. Detailed structure of thin filaments Actin associated with two other proteins: -Tropomyosin - troponin

9. Spinal cord Motor neuron cell body Nerve Motor neuron axon Synaptic terminals Muscle Tendon Muscle fibers (cells) Nuclei Bone Motor unit 1 Motor unit 2

11. Motor neuron axon Synaptic terminal T tubule Action potential Mitochondrion Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Myofibril Plasma membrane Sarcomere Ca 2  released from ER  A motor neuron –carries an action potential (nervous signal) to a muscle cell, –initiates a muscle contraction by triggering release of Ca 2+ from ER

12. Calcium ions bind to troponin, moving tropomyosin away from the myosin- binding sites on actin. Myosin-binding sites blocked Myosin-binding sites exposed Myosin-binding site Ca 2  floods the cytoplasmic fluid Actin Tropomyosin Ca 2  -binding sites Troponin complex Role of Ca in muscle contraction

20. ATP required to power myosin movement and RELEASE from actin A muscle contracts when thin filaments slide along thick filaments

22.  Aerobic respiration –requires a constant supply of glucose and oxygen –provides most of the ATP used to power muscle movement during exercise.  Lactic acid fermentation –can provide ATP faster than aerobic respiration but –is less efficient. Aerobic respiration supplies most of the energy for exercise © 2012 Parson Education, Inc.

25.  Muscles can adapt to exercise by increasing the –levels of myoglobin, –number of mitochondria, and/or –number of capillaries going to muscles. © 2012 Parson Education, Inc.
