Sliding Filament Theory
Complete the chart of participants of the sliding filament theory:

Number the statements in the proper sequence to describe excitation-contraction coupling. Step 1 has been numbered for you.

___1____ 1. Acetylcholine is released by the axon terminal, diffuses to the muscle cell and attaches To ACh receptors on the sarcolemma.

________ 2. The action potential, carried into the cell via the T-tubules, causes the SR to release Calcium ions.

________ 3. Ach-E breaks down Ach, which separates from its receptors.

________ 4. The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens.

________ 5. The calcium ion concentration at the myofilaments increases; the myofilaments slide Past one another and the cell shortens.

________ 6.

Within 30 ms after the AP ends, Ca2+ concentration at the myofilaments decreases.

Number the events in correct order for the cross-bridge formation and cycle. The first step is indicated with (number 1).

________ 1. Myosin heads bind to active sites on actin molecules

________ 2. ATP is hydrolyzed.

________ 3. Myosin heads return to their cocked position ready for the next working stroke.

___1____ 4. Calcium ions bind to troponin.

________ 5. Cycling continues until calcium ions return to the SR.

________ 6. Myosin cross bridges detach from actin.

________ 7. Troponin changes shape.

________ 8. ADP and inorganic phosphate are released from the thick filament.

________ 9. Myosin heads pull on the thin filaments, sliding them toward the center of the sarcomere.

________ 10. ATP binds to the thick

    The Neuromuscular junction uses synapses to connect the muscular system with the muscular system. A nerve impulse is sent from the brain down to the motor neuron by way of the axon. Acetylcholine is released after the vesicles break open. Sodium channels are opened from Acetylcholine that bonds to the Acetylcholine receptors. Depolarization happens when Acetylcholine causes an area of the muscle fiber to become a little more positive when it leaves the nerve and docks on receptors in the muscle membrane. Large amounts of Na+ ions enter the muscle fiber because channels open after depolarization, and an action potential then spreads throughout the muscle fiber. The thick and thin filaments of the muscle fiber can then contract…
