Put these events in the correct chronological sequence: 1. End-plate potentials trigger action potentials. 2. Transverse tubules convey potentials into the interior of the cell. 3. Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the motor end plate. 4. Binding sites on actin are uncovered, allowing myosin to bind and carry out power strokes. 5. Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 6. Chemically regulated ion channels open, causing depolarization. 7. Ca2+ ions bind to troponin-C, pulling on tropomyosin.

When an action potential arrives at the neuromuscular junction, acetylcholine is released into the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors in the postsynaptic membrane. Which of the following represents the correct order of the next series of events? A. An action potential travels down the T tubules, depolarization spreads through the T tubules, Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and myosin binds to actin. B. Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, an action potential travels down the T tubules, depolarization spreads through the T tubules, and myosin binds to actin. C. An action potential travels down the T tubules, depolarization spreads through the T tubules, Ca2+ is taken up by the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and myosin binds to actin. D. T tubules are depolarized, Ca2+ is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, an action potential is created in the muscle cell, and myosin bonds to actin. E. An action potential travels…
hen an action potential arrives at the nerve terminal of a neuromuscular junction, which of the following statements best describes the events that occur? Depolarisation of the nerve terminal causes the release of ACh which activates nicotinic receptors on the skeletal muscle membrane to cause Ca2+ entry and muscle contraction. Depolarisation of the nerve terminal opens voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Ca2+ entry brings vesicles containing ACh to the membrane which form fusion pores causing the release of ACh which activates voltage-gated Na+ channels at the end-plate. Depolarisation of the nerve terminal opens voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Ca2+ entry brings vesicles containing ACh to the membrane which form fusion pores causing the release of ACh which binds to muscarinic receptors at the end plate. Depolarisation of the nerve terminal opens voltage-gated Ca2+ channels, Ca2+ entry brings vesicles containing ACh to the membrane which form fusion pores…
Myosin binds to actin, then bends. What is ATP needed for next? A. to pump the Ca++ “keys” back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum B. to replace the strap and cover the binding sites C. to give feedback to the neuron that contraction occurred D. to un-bind myosin from actin and re-set for another powerstroke.
Please describe the connection between neurotransmitters and sarcomeres
If you introduced a chemical into a muscle fiber that blocked the voltage-gated calcium channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, what effect if any, would this have on the contraction of that muscle fiber?
Which of the following step(s) about the excitation of skeletal muscle is/are incorrect? 1. Acetylcholine is released and binds to motor end plate receptors 2. An action potential is created and moves down T-tubules 3. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum 4. Calcium ions bind to tropomyosin to shift troponin off the binding sites for cross-bridging 5. Myosin forms cross-bridges and binds with actin to pull it towards middle of sarcomere
Calmodulin is found in smooth muscle cells and performs a similar function to troponin in striated muscle fibers. However, calmodulin not only gets activated by Ca2+ but also slows the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. How might this difference relate to the different kinds of contractions smooth muscles do in comparison to striated muscles?
From the following choices, choose the THREE, that would result in prevention of muscle contraction (in other words, which three descriptive changes below would result in flaccid paralysis of a muscle). exocytosis of acetylcholine is constant, even without action potential injection of botulinum toxin calcium cannot be pumped back into the terminal cisternae acetylcholine receptor remains open to sodium active sites on actin a permanently exposed dramatically increase the activity of acetylcholinesterase calcium cannot bind troponin
If a muscle cell’s sarcoplasmic reticulum had little to no Ca2+, could the muscle cell still produce an electrical impulse, and would the muscle cell still contract? Explain.
Question 1. Describe an action potential in a muscle fiber in detail, know the changes in voltage starting from RMP. Question 2. What is the voltage that causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium ions into the cell? Which integral membrane protein is responsible Question 3.What happens to a muscle fiber’s membrane (sarcolemma) once the motor neuron releases theneurotransmitter listed above? What is the change in voltage in the motor end plate? Question 4. Describe how is acetylcholine (neurotransmitter) is released from the synaptic knobs of motor neurons and how it activatesskeletal muscle. Please please please help with these questions, so so srry I know its a lot i am just really stuck! Thank youuuuuu.
