Muscles
Muscles • Muscle cells specialized for contraction • Allow movement & bodily functions such as respiration & digestion
3 Types of Muscle Skeletal • Attached to bones • Control locomotion & movement • Voluntary • Striated Smooth • Walls of organs • Control digestion, respiratory • Involuntary • Non-striated Cardiac • Only in heart • Contractions pump blood • Involuntary • Striated

Skeletal Muscle Fiber Structure • Each muscle fiber has 1000’s of myofibrils • Sarcomere: Repeating structural unit of a myofibril btw two Z lines
Skeletal Muscle Fiber Structure Myosin (thick filaments) & Actin (thin filaments) give striated appearance
Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle Contraction Contracting muscle shortens but the filaments stay the same length; Instead, they slide past each other
ATP needed for muscle contraction • Each myosin has a “tail” region and a “head” region • Head region of myosin binds to ATP (lowenergy configuration)
Hydrolysis of ATP converts myosin to high-energy form
Myosin head can now bind to actin by a cross-bridge
Myosin head returns to low-energy form as it pulls the actin towards sarcomere center
New ATP binds to myosin head, breaking cross-bridge, releasing actin
Role of Action Potentials & Calcium in Contraction • Synaptic terminal of motor neuron releases acetylcholine (neurotransmitter), depolarizing muscle fiber’s membrane • Depolarization causes action potential to move across fiber and into it along transverse (T) tubules • Action potential triggers release of Ca 2+ from sarcoplasmic reticulum into cytosol
Regulatory Proteins • Muscle fiber at rest: tropomyosin & troponin complex binds to actin, blocking myosin-binding sites so no cross-bridge can form
Regulatory Proteins • Muscle fiber at rest: tropomyosin & troponin complex binds to actin, blocking myosin-binding sites so no cross-bridge can form • Motor neurons enable contraction by triggering release of Ca 2+ into cytosol • Ca 2+ binds to troponin complex, exposing myosinbinding sites, allowing cross-bridges
