1 Muscle Contraction

2 Message 1. Nerve sends impulse to muscle; neuromuscular junction 2. End of nerve releases chemical Acetylcholine (Ach)

3 3. Ach diffuses across gap to sarcolemma 4. Sarcolemma causes change in the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (connected by T- Tubules)

6

7 Reaction 5. Calcium released from SR (Cisternae) 6. Cross bridges attach to actin 7. Myosin pulls actin 8. ADP (the product released by the breakdown of ATP) breaks bond and stores the energy gained

8 Relaxation 9. Stop sending message 10. Calcium pumped back in SR (cisternae) 11. 1 last ATP breaks bond; actin glides back to normal

9 All-or-None Law:  Myofiber will contract completely or not at all. The whole muscle doesn’t obey this law, only myofibers.

Sliding Filament Theory Review
How does a muscle work? Remember, muscles can only contract so they can only pull, not push. And it needs certain parts to do this.

Muscle Contraction. Muscle Movement Muscle fiber must be stimulated: – By an electrical signal called muscle action potential (AP) – Delivered by motor.

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.
