which the myosin head is damaged and there are less actin binding to less myosin effecting the force production. The length tension relationship is dependent on the number of cross-bridges that are formed‚ which decreases when they are not generating at the usual amount. In relation to the length-tension relationship‚ when a muscle is contracting at an angle in which the muscle should have greater force‚ it will not because of the lack of actin-myosin overlap. So when the myosin head pivots‚ there

reaches the contractile muscle cells (the cardiomyocytes)‚ they create an action potential which increases the concentration of calcium ions into the cell. Calcium ions play a key role in activating what is known as the contractile machinery – the actin and myosin filaments. The cardiac action potential‚ unlike other forms of muscular contraction‚ will last roughly as long contraction. This is shown below‚ depolarisation is followed by an unusual plateau‚ and the cardiac action potential can be split

Muscle fatigue‚ or physical fatigue‚ is the decline in ability of a muscle to generate force. It can be a result of strenuous exercise but unusual fatigue may be caused by interference with the different stages of muscle contraction. There are two main causes of muscle fatigue‚ nervous fatigue and metabolic fatigue. Nervous Fatigue Nervous fatigue is the decline in the ability of a nerve to sustain a signal resulting in innervation of the muscle. The muscle’s ability to generate force is most strongly

control needed for efficient heart action. 4‚ Explain the mechanism for muscle contraction. The sliding filament model of muscle explains how muscle contraction occurs. Muscle fibers made of thick fibers called myosin and thin filaments called actin form a bridge. Using energy from cellular respiration‚ the filaments shorten and the fibers pull closer together. The bridge then releases and connects again to a filament to contract again. This cycle repeats and the muscle fibers get shorter and

POB II: Exam II Review Chapter 6: tour of the cell Microscopy: • Microscopes provide a window to the cell. • Most important tool in cytology • Resolution has improved understanding of cells. o Resolving power – the smallest distance between two objects that allows them to be seen as distinct objects. o Resolving power of the human eye is 0.1 mm • Light microscope – uses glass lenses and visible light to form a magnified image of an object. o Resolving power of about 100 nm (.0002 mm)

myosin is released from actin. 2. ATP ADP + Pi and myosin heads are cocked to 90° 3. Myosin heads bind to actin to form a cross-bridge 4. Pi released‚ and myosin springs back to 45°. Actin is pulled over myosin and toward the center of the sarcomere. This causes shortening of the sarcomere and is referred to as the “power stroke” 5. ADP is released‚ but myosin remains bound to actin (rigor state) until more ATP comes in and the cycle continues. Actin- thin filament Myosin-thick

~Cross-section of a bone~ Articular cartilage - is a white‚ smooth tissue which covers the ends of bones in joints. Periosteum - is a fibrous sheath that covers bones. It contains the blood vessels and nerves that provide nourishment and sensation to the bone. Cortical bone - forms the outer shell of all bone and also the shafts in long bones. Trabecular bone - is the tissue that makes up the interior of bones.

They are at their normal long length. This means that the myosin has not binded to the actin. 5. Nerves are the autonomic branch of the nervous system. They lead to both smooth and cardiac muscle. They regulate the strength and rate of muscle contraction.Muscle Contraction Tutorial/Review Muscle Contraction Tutorial/ReviewMuscle Contraction
