Sequence of muscle contraction
Number the following statements in their proper sequence to describe the contraction mechanism in a skeletal muscle cell.
_____ A. Acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction by the axonal terminal.
_____ B. The action potential, carried deep into the cell, causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions.
____ C. The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens.
_____ D. Acetylcholine diffuses across the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors on the sarcolemma.
____ E. The calcium ion concentration at the myofilaments increases; the myofilaments slide past one another, and the cell shortens.
_____ F. Depolarization occurs, and the action potential is generated.
_____ G. As calcium is actively reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, its concentration at the myofilaments decreases.

Fleas can jump up to 40 times their body length. However, calculation on the biomechanics of the leg extensor muscles, do not provide enough force to account for such jumps. If the flea's ability to jump high is not reliant upon muscle strength, how else could the leg structure be modified to assist in the flea jumping mechanism? How would you test your idea?

Next, explain the process of neural signal transmission from an alpha motor neuron to the muscle fiber. Do this by explaining how an AP is generated (ions and membrane proteins) at the neuron, how the signal is propagated, what happens at the axon terminal, what happens at the motor endplate, and explain all the molecular events that occur to cause muscle contraction.arrow_forward

Describe Swammerdam's experiment and Galvani's experiment with frog legs. What did they tell us about muscle contraction? What is the sliding-filament model for muscle contraction? Describe the role of actin and myosin of sarcomeres in the model (be specific). Describe how an action potential triggers muscle contraction. Know the specific molecules involved. . Describe the structural and functional differences between smooth, cardiac and skeletal muscles. What are the three types of skeletal muscle fibers and how do they differ in structure and function? Next « Previous MacBook Proarrow_forwardReflect back on the Muscle Fatigue investigation we did earlier in this Activity. Choose one of your classmate’s interpretation to one of these questions: What happened to your energy & ability to pinch the clothespin as you progressed through each trial? Why? What might cause one to be able to get more squeezes, in other words, to have less fatigue? Explain in terms of biological concepts. Suggest how the amount of ATP produced cause your muscle cells to be less efficient. When did this change in the amount of ATP produced occur in this investigation? How could you tell? Your muscles would probably recover enough after 10 minutes to operate at the original efficiency. Explain why. Show how specific details from the steps of cellular respiration add details to answer this question.arrow_forward
