Events Leading up to Muscle Contraction
ā€¢ Nerve impulse arrives at end
of motor nerve axon causing
ā€¢ Acetylcholine(ACh) release
into synapse via exocytosis
ā€¢ ACh floods across synaptic
gap and attaches to receptors
on the sarcolemma
ā€¢ Permeability of sarcolemma
changes and Na+ enters cell
ā€¢ A muscle impulse is
triggered
ā€¢ Muscle impulse travels via the
transverse tubules throughout
the muscle cell
ā€¢ Ca++ diffuses from SR and
binds to troponin on actin
ā€¢ Myosin cross bridges link
with actin and muscle
contracts

Muscle Fiber Excitation
ā€¢ Nerve impulse arrives at axon terminal
ā€¢ Triggers release of Ach by exocytosis
ā€¢ ACh diffuses across synaptic cleft
ā€¢ ACh binds to receptors on muscle motor end plate
ā€¢ Sarcolemma becomes more permeable to Na+
ā€¢ Na+ triggers release of muscle action potential
ā€¢ Muscle action potential travels along outside of
sarcolemma and into T tubules
ā€¢ Action potential triggers Ca++ release from SR
ā€¢ Ca++ binds to troponin on thin filament
ā€¢ Tropomyosin is pulled aside, revealing binding
sites
ā€¢ Myosin links to & pulls actin to contract muscle
Muscle Fiber Relaxation
ā€¢ Acetylcholinesterase decomposes ACh
in synapse
ā€¢ Action potential (impulse) ends
ā€¢ SR actively pumps Ca++ back into SR
ā€¢ Tropomyosin moves back to cover
binding sites
ā€¢ Myosin heads detach
ā€¢ Muscle fiber returns to its longer resting
length

Events Leading up to Muscle Contraction ā€¢ Nerve impulse arrives at end of motor nerve axon causing ā€¢ Acetylcholine(ACh) release into synapse via exocytosis ā€¢ ACh floods across synaptic gap and attaches to receptors on the sarcolemma ā€¢ Permeability of sarcolemma changes and Na+ enters cell ā€¢ A muscle impulse is triggered ā€¢ Muscle impulse travels via the transverse tubules throughout the muscle cell ā€¢ Ca++ diffuses from SR and binds to troponin on actin ā€¢ Myosin cross bridges link with actin and muscle contracts NMJ Muscle fiber

  • 33. Muscle Fiber Excitation ā€¢ Nerve impulse arrives at axon terminal ā€¢ Triggers release of Ach by exocytosis ā€¢ ACh diffuses across synaptic cleft ā€¢ ACh binds to receptors on muscle motor end plate ā€¢ Sarcolemma becomes more permeable to Na+ ā€¢ Na+ triggers release of muscle action potential ā€¢ Muscle action potential travels along outside of sarcolemma and into T tubules ā€¢ Action potential triggers Ca++ release from SR ā€¢ Ca++ binds to troponin on thin filament ā€¢ Tropomyosin is pulled aside, revealing binding sites ā€¢ Myosin links to & pulls actin to contract muscle Muscle Fiber Relaxation ā€¢ Acetylcholinesterase decomposes ACh in synapse ā€¢ Action potential (impulse) ends ā€¢ SR actively pumps Ca++ back into SR ā€¢ Tropomyosin moves back to cover binding sites ā€¢ Myosin heads detach ā€¢ Muscle fiber returns to its longer resting length
