    Muscle Contraction

    Different steps of activities are involved in muscle contraction. The sequence of contraction process is originated in the central nervous system. It can be either a voluntary activity from the brain or a reflex activity from the spinal cord. An action potential passes outward in a ventral root of the spinal cord as a motor neuron in the ventral horn is stimulated. The axon branch to supply numerous muscle fibers or motor units and the action potential is carried to a motor end plate on each muscle fiber. Then the action potential releases quanta of acetylcholine into the synaptic clefts on the surface of the muscle fiber. Acetylcholine which is the neurotransmitter initiates an action potential which passes in both directions along the surface of the muscle fiber. Successively vesicles containing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine is bonded with the plasma membrane. Then acetylcholine is released into the extracellular space between the axon terminal and the motor end plate of the skeletal muscle fiber. The action potential spreads inside the muscle fiber at the opening of each transverse tubule onto the muscle fiber surface. The sarcoplasmic reticulum release calcium ions at each point where a transverse tubule touches part of the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The movement of troponin and tropomyosin on…

    Muscular dystrophy or MD is a broad medical term used to refer to a number of muscle diseases that weaken the musculoskeletal system and hampers movement according to Yeole, Gurunani, Dhole and Yogesh (2014). Emery (2002) states these disorders produce muscle wasting and weakness of variable distribution and severity. Muscular dystrophies are caused by genetic mutations that have a progressive degenerative effect on an individual’s muscles stated Punnoose, Burke and Golub (2011). The muscles most often affected include limbs, facial muscles, respiratory muscles, cardiac muscles and swallowing muscles. In less frequent cases a MD disorders may have an effect on the brain, inner ear, eyes or skin. The…

    Muscular dystrophy is a group of diseases that cause progressive weakness and loss of muscle mass. 349 out of 2.37 million males aged 5-24 were reported to have DMD or BMD in the United States. This means that about 15 of every 100,000 males aged between 5-24 were affected that year. Also, a close friend of mine had muscular dystrophy so it played a role in my life. I wanted to know if it could be cured and if not was there any treatments for it. Muscular dystrophy could potentially be cured through gene therapy, but currently the disease is best treated with a steroid named Prednisone.…

    Muscle Contraction Essay

    • 270 Words

    Muscle Contraction is part of an organ in the body that is tensive. It may have a process of tensions that may be developed with muscle tissues. Contraction can be a meaning of shortening or long. Muscle Contraction can also produce a muscle cell that is for movement of the body. Myosin and Actin is an interaction protein to Muscle Contraction, it can be changed by shape but not by volume. Skeletal Muscle contraction is produce by heat. The muscles may receive signal from the brain. Once it receives signal it expands or contracts. Skeleton can provide muscle movement and frame work. This kind of muscle can be found attached your bones. Filaments there are only two types of sliding filaments. The Thick Filaments is called “Myofliaments”. Myofliaments produces myosin. Myosin is a protein and can be found in muscle tissue that makes a thick filament. A filament called actin forms a contract with Sarcomeres of skeletal muscle. With the Sarcomere, actin and myosin slides across each other for shortening of a muscle fiber. The thin filaments is called “actin” is a muscle protein. Actin is pulled by Myosin to cause a contact to a muscle. Actin sometimes forms bacteria to use for motility. The Roles of ATP is a shorten term of actin and myosin filament. ATP is a sort of fuel to give to the muscle during contractions; this type of energy is to make the muscle move.…
