Chapter 9.8, Problem 68AYP
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The role of the receptor in stimulating and inhibiting the smooth muscle contraction by affecting the ion channel present over there.
Introduction:
Smooth muscles are muscles that possess single nucleus and are spindle shapes with no striations. Muscle contractions have two major aspects. They are:
- Electrical component: It consists of sarcolemma, T tubule and sarcoplasmic reticulum.
- Mechanical component: It consists of myofibrils and myofilament.

Are these true or false?
Acetylcholine molecules are actively transported from the axon to their receptors on the muscle membrane by special transport proteins.
Receptors on the post-synaptic cell membrane that bind the acetylcholine are voltage-gated channels (channels that open in response to a change in the electrical charge of the membrane).
When a muscle cell is not contracting its cell membrane is negative on the inner surface.
The effect of a neurotransmitter on the muscle cell membrane is to modify its ion permeability properties temporarily.
During depolarization, a small region of the muscle cell's membrane becomes less negative on the inside."
Both sodium and potassium are more concentrated in the extracellular fluid than the intracellular fluid.
After an action potential passes over a region of the sarcolemma the region remains positively charged throughout the entire muscle contraction.
An increase in the calcium ion level in the cytosol causes thin filaments to begin…
If depolarization occurs at the neuromuscular junction and threshold is met, then
voltage-gated calcium channels in the axon terminal will open.
voltage-gated acetylcholine receptors will open.
acetylcholine receptors will open and close.
ligand-gated channels will open nearby.
voltage-gated sodium and voltage-gated potassium channels will open nearby.
What happens when the activation gates in the voltagegated Na+ channels open and the inactivation gatesclose?

This wave of depolarization is immediately followed by repolarization. Depolarization is when the cell's membrane potential becomes more ["resting", "negative", "positive"] . Depolarization occurs when calcium channels open in the plasma membrane. Repolarization is when the cell's membrane potential becomes more ["resting", "positive", "negative"] , returning the cell to its resting potential.
