The myosin head stays bound until a new ATP molecule binds to it. The next ATP causes the head to be released from the actin, which results in another power stroke. The stimulus stops. Ach is diffused through the synaptic cleft, CA2+ is transported back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and tropomyosin shifts to conceal the myosin binding sites. The sarcomeres slide back to their initial
3. The role of the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions that will cause the troponin/ tropomyosin complex to move. This will expose the binding sites on actin so that the cross-bridges of myosin can bind to it. *High calcium concentrations = concentration occurs (bind to troponin – moves tropomyosin out of the way to reveal the hidden receptor site) *Low calcium concentrations = concentration does not occur (troponin goes back – move the tropomyosin back in the way of the myosin = blocks). (Calcium ions) are stored in the Sarcoplasmic reticulum.
Controlled Variables... frequency of stimulation, temperature, stimulation voltage Effect of Stimulation Frequency on Contraction 1. Dependent Variable.. contraction force 2. Independent Variable... frequency of stimulation 3. Controlled Variables.. temperature, stimulation voltage, 4. What structure was stimulated to cause a muscle contraction?
For every ATP that is broken down, it moves 3 sodium ions out and then 2 potassium ions in. This is an example of how energy is used within our bodies. Metabolic processes require energy such as the heart beating, the brain, liver and kidneys. Chemical energy from oxygen and food are converted into useable chemical energy and is converted into heat and work. (401
these are bound together by connective tissue. - each muscle fibre is a single muscle cell surrounded by a cell surface membrane. - Inside the muscle fibre is the cytoplasm containing mitochondria and the other organelles found in a cell. - Within each muscle fibre there are also numerous myofibrils, each is composed of repeated contractile units called sarcomeres. - when the muscle contracts the dark band overlaps the intermediate band shortening the length of the muscle
Which muscle type has the most elaborate connected tissue wrapping? Skeletal muscle 3. What is the striated mean relative to muscle cells? Stripped or having bands striated 4. How do the movements promoted from skeletal muscle smooth muscle?
Research Paper! 1 Contraction and Relaxation of Skeletal Muscle Fiber It would be impossible to do anything without your muscles so, have you ever stopped to wonder how your skeletal muscles actually move to contract and then relax after a contraction? In this essay, the key steps involved in contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle fibers and how rigor mortis relates to muscle contraction/relaxation will be explained. Muscle contraction starts when a neuron action potential arrives at the the end of motor neurons. Then a neurotransmitter, called acetylocholine (ACh), is released and the ACh binds to receptors on motor end plates and sodium ions then move into muscle fibers.

The spring represents the elastic components of the muscle and obeys Hook’s law : F=k*x but in terms of stress the equation turns into : σ=Ε*ε where σ: applied stress, E:Young's Modulus of the material ε: strain. The dashpot represents the viscous components of the muscle and is expressed in differential form by Newton’s law for straight,parallel and uniform flow: σ=η* where η: viscosity and :change of rate of strain (velocity). The important equations that are used in this model are: F=F1+F0 where F0=k0*u and F1=η1*u1=k1*u1’ u=u1+u1’ After long calculations we finally take the differential equation of motion for a standard linear solid: The equation contains F, df/dt ,u ,du/dt functions as well as k0,k1,η constants and is impossible to solve as they are all unknown. For that reason we will use the experimental data from Bobsbooms given paper that will help understand how our functions are supposed to behave during the experiment and thus be able to extract some data and some important initial and boundary conditions, necessary for our model to work. From the Bobsbooms paper ‘Passive transverse mechanical properties of skeletal muscle in compression’ we are supposed to take the ramp and hold data (u versus t graph) and fit it in our model,expecting that our F versus t

Investigations were carried out through books and online resources. Various classifications of muscles and joints and the movement required for different combinations of actions will be considered throughout this paper.
