•
ANSWER: Steps
that lead to transmission of a nerve impulse
across a synapse once the action potential reaches the axon
terminal
•
QUESTION: What are
– Release of Ca2+ into the axon terminal
– Vesicles containing a neurotransmitter travel to the axon
membrane
– The neurotransmitter is released into the synaptic cleft
between the pre-synaptic and post-synaptic cells
– Receptors on the post-synaptic cell bind to the
neurotransmitter and the post-synaptic membrane is
excited or inhibited (depending on the type of signal from
the neurotransmitter)
– The neurotransmitter is reabsorbed by the pre-synaptic
cell or broken down and recycled
Answer
Question
F-500
• ANSWER: Steps to muscle contraction in a sarcomere
• QUESTION: What are
– ATP binds to myosin heads on the thick filaments and forms ADP +
P
– An action potential causes Ca2+ to be released and Ca2+ binds to
proteins on the thin actin filaments, exposing binding sites for myosin
– Myosin heads attach to binding sites on actin, forming cross bridges
between the thick and thin filaments
– ADP + P are released and the myosin head swivels, pulling the actin
inward, causing the sarcomere to contract (this is done many times
causing the whole muscle to contract)
– New ATP attaches to the myosin, causing the cross bridges to unbind,
and the process is ready to repeat
– When the action potential stops, the Ca2+ is reabsorbed and the
myosin binding sites on the actin are not exposed, so cross bridges
cannot form
