- Recently, it has been observed that several muscle diseases and disorders are linked to problems with triad structure and function.One such disorder is called malignant hyperthermia, a dire hypermetabolic response to certain inhaled anesthetics such as halothane. Muscles become very rigid due to excessive contraction (especially the masseter muscle), the body temperature spikes, andmuscles break down. Death is certain if not treated. Given the principal symptoms of malignant hyperthermia, what is its likely cause?Propose a theoretical mechanism for a treatment that would dampen the deleterious effects of this disorder.arrow_forward________and______ muscles are striped because they have a regular alignment of sarcomeres.______and_______ muscles are usually not under conscious control._______ And________ muscles are interconnected by gap junctions.arrow_forwardHow would you explain the following observation?

- Muscle cells are stimulated by neurotransmitters released from the synaptic terminals of what structures? T tubules motor neuron axons. sensory neuron axons motor neuron dendrites. sensory neuron dendrites.arrow_forwardWhich statement or statements describe the role of calcium in the stimulation of muscle fibers? Select all that apply. When the action potential reaches the axon terminals of a neuron, calcium channels open and calcium floods into the axon terminal, triggering the release of synaptic vesicles. When calcium ions flood out of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, they bind troponin molecules and troponin removes tropomyosin from the active sites on thin filaments. When myosin thick filaments are walking along actin thin filaments (the cross bridge cycle), calcium ions must be available to bind to myosin so that it can let go of the thin filaments and take another "step". When synaptic vesicles fuse with the plasma membrane of axon terminals, calcium is released into the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors in the motor end plate.arrow_forwardHow does the brain initiate a muscle contraction?
