tension
contributor to the density of bone
tension (weight bearing)
muscle tension
tension is the force generated when a muscle is stimulated to contract, lab experiments measure tension and graph it (myogram)
when tension overcomes resistance of the load
tension levels off
relaxation requires
termination of nerve cell stimulation and a return to resting conditions inside the muscle cell
relaxation process
termination of nerve signal and ach release from motor neuron (no more neurotransmitter release) hydrolysis (degradation) of ach by acetylcholinesterase located in the synaptic cleft; enzyme clears the chemical quickly from the extracellular space....... closure of ach receptor causes cessation of end plate potential so no further action potential generation in the muscle cell closure of ca2+channels in sarcoplasmic reticulum and ca2+will be taken back up by the sarcoplasmic reticulum by active ca2+ transporters (calcium is cleared out of the sarcoplasm) as ca2+ levels decline in the sarcoplasm, troponin changes shape and re-positions tropomyosin back along the thin filament blocking the myosin binding sites; cross bridge cycles stop muscle returns to resting state
each channel type gates at a different voltage
that means different ions move directionally across the membrane at different times under different conditions
resting membrane potential (rmp) created by
the action of the na+/k+ atpase
muscles produce tension/force when they contract
the amount of force produced can be varied based upon the demand placed on the muscle

initial stimulus
the delivery of acetylcholine to the muscle cell membrane and how it moves the membrane toward threshold to trigger an action potential
myosin head degrades atp (breaks a phosphate bond) and produces adp + pi
the energy released is use to change shape at the hinge
if these channels are gating open to induce an action potential in this region
the flow of ions across the membrane here will move the neighboring membrane area to threshold and that will trigger these voltage gated ions channels in this area to gate open
linear fracture
the fracture is parallel to the long axis of the bone
transverse fracture
the fracture is perpendicular to the long axis of the bone
temporal (wave) summation
the frequency of stimulation can influence tension development by a muscle fiber, repetitive stimulation of a fiber produces contractions of longer duration and greater tension than a single twitch
the trigger that opens the channel is called
the gating stimulus
myosin changes shape at the hinge
the head flexes inducing the power stroke
immediately upon binding to actin, myosin changes shape at the hinge
the head flexes relative to the tail, since it is gripping the thin filament this means it pulls the thin filament toward the midline of the thick filament (the thin filament slides inward), this movement is called the power stroke, the myosin head releases adp and pi when it completes the power stroke
repolarization
the membrane has returned to a state of polarization following a depolarization event
acetylcholine binds to its receptor on
the muscle cell membrane
as sarcomeres shorten
the myofibrils will shorten...and the muscle cell shortens
in the presence of atp
the myosin head will quickly release from actin
rmp is generated primarily by
the na+/k+ atpase pumps
eventually the na+ and k+ channels close
the na+/k+ atpase returns the na+ and k+ ion gradients to rest conditions. this means the cell is quickly primed to fire another action potential ....within milliseconds.
synaptic cleft
the narrow gap between axon terminal and sarcolemma
chemically gated ion channels are concentrated at
the neuromuscular junction and are critical for the nerve cell to activate the muscle cell
strength of a muscle and the direction of its pull are determined partly by
the orientation of its fascicles
nondisplaced fracture
the portions of bone are still in correct anatomical alignment
the banding pattern of the sarcomere
the positions of thin and thick filaments give rise to alternating i-bands and a-bands
the striations of skeletal muscle are due to
the precise organization of thin and thick filaments (called myofilaments) in the myofibrils, a pattern that is repeated over and over again along the length of the entire cell
blood vessels invade
the primary ossification center and bring osteopregenitor cells
if threshold is reached for gating of fast voltage-gated na+ channels
the regional membrane will fire an action potential and that will trigger activation of electrical impulse transmission across the entire muscle cell
motor neuron releases acetylcholine at
the synapse
length-tension relationship
the tension a muscle produces depends on its length at the time of stimulation
the myofibril is comprised of many sarcomeres in a series
the z-discs connect each neighboring sarcomere along the entire length
depolarization
there has been a change in charge inside the cell toward a less negative (or more positive value)
action potentials shoot down the t-tubules
these electrical impulses shock the flanking sarcoplasmic reticulum (terminal cisterns)
each strand is a necklace of hundreds of actin globules
they link together to create f-actin; two f-actin strands twist together to form the base of the thin filament
troponin and tropomyosin function

epiphyseal line
thin plate of compact bone in adults, remnant of epiphyseal plate, disc of hyaline cartilage that allows bone to grow during childhood

stimulation of the muscle cell will trigger release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
this is the trigger for interaction of thin and thick filaments
a single cross-bridge cycle is not sufficient to produce a robust contraction of the muscle
this process has to repeat many times over to get shortening of the muscle

time when tension is decreasing to baseline, begins with release of crossbridges, no more action potentials; ca2+ is being removed from sarcoplasm, generally lasts a little longer than contraction period
contraction period
time when tension is increasing; action potentials have triggered release of ca2+, begins as power strokes pull thin filaments; tension rises quickly as crossbridge cycling proceeds

two stimulations are applied in close succession, the cell begins to contract after stimulus #1 but does not get to fully relax before stimulus #2 hits the cell, the force produced by stimulus #2 adds on to the force from stimulus #1 and reaches a higher value, higher force reflects higher level of ca2+ in the sarcoplasm....too little time to clear it all when stimulations come close together in time
