Discuss the steps involved in contraction of smooth muscle and explain why smooth muscle has a slower contraction cycle.

: Upon neural stimulation of the muscle, Ca2+ stored in the caveolae start to flow into the cell. Calmodulin, the regulatory protein in smooth muscles, will bind with the Ca++ which will activate the enzyme myosin light chain kinase (MLCK). This enzyme will use ATP to add a phosphate to the myosin head so that it can bind to actin so that the contraction can occur. The sliding of the actin and myosin is similar to the skeletal muscle. The slowness of the process is due to slow influx of Ca++ from caveolae into the cells (smooth muscles have a poor SR system, therefore, there is very little intercellular Ca++ storage). Also, the enzyme MLCK works very slowly which in turn causes the muscle to contract slowly.

How does a nerve impulse elicit a muscle action potential?

A nerve impulse reaches the synaptic end bulb and causes the release of acetylcholine, which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to and activates acetylcholine receptors on the motor end plate. Binding of acetylcholine opens an ion channel in the acetylcholine receptors allowing Na+ to flow into the cell, which generates an action potential in the muscle cell.

What are the three ways that ATP can be produced in muscle fibers?

ATP can be produced from creatine phosphate, by anaerobic cellular respiration, and by aerobic cellular respiration.

What energizes the myosin head? a) acetylcholine b) calcium ions c) Phosphate release d) ATP hydrolysis reaction e) ADP synthesis

ATP hydrolysis reaction

List the four steps of the contraction cycle in order of occurrence. What is needed for these steps to continuously repeat?

ATP hydrolysis, attachment of myosin to actin forming crossbridges, the power stroke, then detachment of myosin from actin. The cycle will continue as long as ATP and calcium ions are available.

Describe the factors that lead to muscle fatigue

Although the precise mechanisms that cause muscle fatigue are still not clear, several factors are thought to contribute. One is inadequate release of calcium ions from the SR, resulting in a decline of Ca2+ concentration in the sarcoplasm. Depletion of creatine phosphate also is associated with fatigue, but surprisingly, the ATP levels in fatigued muscle often are not much lower than those in resting muscle. Other factors that contribute to muscle fatigue include insufficient oxygen, depletion of glycogen and other nutrients, buildup of lactic acid and ADP, and failure of action potentials in the motor neuron to release enough acetylcholine.

Compare and contrast the structural characteristics of the three different types of muscular tissue.

Both cardiac and skeletal muscle tissues are striated and smooth muscle is not, hence its name. Skeletal muscle cells have more than one nucleus, are large and run parallel to each other. Cardiac muscle cells usually have only one, sometimes two, centrally located nuclei and are branched. They also are connected to each other via gap junctions. Smooth muscle cells are small but form thick layers of hollow organs. Like cardiac muscle cells, some smooth muscle cells communicate via gap junctions. Skeletal muscle is voluntarily controlled while both cardiac and smooth muscle tissue are involuntary and autorhythmic.

Muscular tissue has several important properties, such as electrical excitability. Another property of muscular tissue is that it is able to stretch, and return to its original size and shape.

Elasticity

False

The ability of muscular tissue to contract forcefully when stimulated by an action potential is called extensibility. T/F?

False

True

What is the major difference between the two types of smooth muscle tissue?

In single-unit smooth muscle tissue, action potentials are initiated in response to neurotransmitters, hormones, or an autorhythmic signal. The action potential spreads throughout the tissue by moving through gap junctions that connect all the muscle cells together within the tissue. It is found in the skin and in tubular arrangements that form part of the walls of small arteries and veins and of hollow organs such as the stomach, intestines, uterus, and urinary bladder. In multiunit smooth muscle tissue, muscle cells have few gap junctions with neighboring cells and thus must be excited by their own motor neuron terminal. It is found in the walls of large arteries, in airways to the lungs, in the arrector pili muscles that attach to hair follicles, in the muscles of the iris that adjust pupil diameter, and in the ciliary body that adjusts focus of the lens in the eye
