Heads of myosin attach to binding sites of
actin
Myosin heads swivel
ATP releases myosin heads
Muscle relaxes
Calcium released from sarcoplasmic
reticulum exposes the binding sites
Calcium binds to troponin
 Tropomyosin pulls aside
 Binding sites on actin
exposed




Myosin heads bind to actin
Power stroke occurs (swivel of heads)
Muscle contraction occurs

ATP binds to myosin


ATP splits into ADP and Phosphorous


Linkage is released
Causes the myosin head to cock back
Cycle continues*

Energy:
 Glycolysis
 Cellular Respiration
ATP
Contraction
anaerobic
aerobic
Definition: When a muscle is exercised strenuously
for a prolonged period and loses its ability to
contract.
Cause:
 Low pH
 Accumulation of Lactic Acid


Glycolysis
Fast-twitch muscle
Oxygen Debt


Lactic acid build up
+2 ATP

Cellular Respiration
Slow-twitch muscle
Includes the process of
Glycolysis
+34 ATP
Definition: A painful condition in which a muscle
undergoes a sustained involuntary contraction
Causes:
 Lack of ATP
 Changes in extracellular fluid
 Uncontrolled stimulation

Origin:
The immovable
end of a muscle
Insertion:
The moveable end
of a muscle
Prime Mover (agonist):
 Mainly responsible
for movement
Antagonists:
 Resist prime mover
Synergists:
 Helper muscles
Muscle Tone:
 Nerve impulses
continuously sent from
spinal cord
Recruitment:
 Increases number
of active muscle fibers
 Summation or Tetanic
Increase of weight
Summation:
 Combined individual
twitches
 Eventual relaxation
Sustained Contraction (tetanic):
 Combined individual
twitches
 Doesn’t relax
 Rigor mortis
Myotonic Dystrophy—An Expanding Gene:



Stronger and more threatening with each generation
RNA too large to leave nucleas, gets copied, passed to
next generation continuously
Weakness of limbs
Hereditary Idiopathic Dilated Cardiomyopathy:


Actin not anchored to
z-line properly
Causes the heart
chambers to enlarge
and eventually fail
