6 As calcium is actively reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, its concentration at the myofilaments decreases 12. Fill in the blanks using the phrases in the word bank below: Prior to muscle excitation, there is a greater concentration of Na+ and there is a greater concentration of K+ stimulus is delivered, protein “doors" open and the depolarization of the plasma membrane. Almost as soon as the depolarization wave begins, a repolarization wave follows. This occurs as restores the When the neural initiating Repolarization of the resting cell membrane. The is (are) reestablished by which move(s) K+ back into the cell and Na+ back out.

As mentioned in class, one additional major use of ATP in skeletal muscle (besides powering the myosin heads) is the recycling of calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum after depolarization. The resting concentration of Ca++ in the muscle cell cytoplasm is about 50-100 nM, and the spike concentration after depolarization is about 10-20 μΜ. a) Consider a single sarcomere. What is the number of free calcium ions within the sarcomere at rest? What is the number of free calcium ions after depolarization? b) The major ion pump responsible for calcium ion recycling is SERCA (sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase). SERCA uses one molecule of ATP to pump two calcium ions, and the resting level can be restored in about 10-20 ms. How many molecules of ATP are used in a single sarcomere for pumping calcium in a single "twitch"? c) Assume that a single "twitch" is sufficient to drive one sarcomere from its fully extended length (about 2.5 µm) to its fully contracted length (about 1…
