Arrange the following in statements in the order that they occur during muscle contraction: 1-10 ACh leaves the synaptic knob and enters the synaptic cleft The action potential is carried deep into the muscle cell by T tubules The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens Myosin binds to and pulls on actin, resulting in muscle shortening Calcium attaches to troponin As calcium re-enters the sarcoplasmic reticulum, its concentration at the myofilaments decreases Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum Tropomyosin rolls out of the way, exposing actin ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft and attaches to protein receptors on the sarcolemma, resulting in muscle "excitation" Na+ enters the muscle cell and K+ exits, resulting in an action potential
In order to study and understand muscle diseases, one needs to have a good understanding of normal muscle function. Briefly outline the process of cross-bridge cycling in muscle contraction. Be sure to highlight the role of Ca2+ and ATP/ADP in the process.

According to the sliding filament mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction, during contraction: The thick filaments stay the same size but the thin filaments shorten. The thin filaments stay the same size but the thick filaments shorten. Both thick and thin filaments shorten. The sarcomeres shorten.
describe the events that lead to muscle contraction starting at the level of the neuromuscular junction. Make sure to use the terms: myosin, actin, calcium, troponin, tropomyosin, T tubules, SR, myosin head, ATP.
Indicate which of the following are true. Chronically shortened muscles will lose sarcomeres in series in order to maintain ideal amounts of myofilament overlap. Contractile force is proportional to the length of a muscle. Muscle organ contraction is all or nothing. Muscle cells are surrounded by an endomysium. Actin is the thick filament and Z-lines are where the cross-bridges zig-zag to adjacent actin filaments. Muscles with fewer motor units are weaker, i.e., capable of less force. A nerve impulse, calcium, and ATP are necessary for muscle contraction. Tendons attach bones to bones and help to limit the range of motion at joints. Muscle tissue is very dynamic and will respond to chronic stress by becoming stronger (making more myofilaments), chronic contraction by becoming shorter (losing sarcomeres in series), and stretching by becoming longer (adding sarcomeres in series). Myofilaments are actually long strands of proteins.
