3 types of muscle, where and characteristics
4 functions of muscles
myosin
actin
crossbridge
the globular heads of myosin link thick & thin filaments together, forming crossbridges
- these crossbridges act as motors to generate tension developed by a contracting muscle cell
tropomyosin
-rod-shaped protein(polypeptide) that helps stabilize actin and in relaxed muscles, blocks the binding site for myosin on actin
troponin
-initiated by AP, this is the protein Ca2+ binds to , to change the shape of tropomyosin, exposing binding site for myosin on the thin filaments(actin)
sarcoplasmic reticulum
-GOING TO REGULATE THE INTRACELLULAR LEVELS OF CALCIUM
T-tubules
sliding filament model of contraction
-during contraction, your thin filaments slide past the thick ones, making actin and myosin filaments overlap more
acetylcholine ACh
-glycogen stored in muscles is broken down to glucose, which is oxidized to generate ATP
4.Hours of exercise-long term
slow oxidative fibers
fast glycolytic fibers

what is muscular dystrophy?
hormone
Endocrinology
study of hormones and endocrine system
target cells
tissue cells that are given hormone influences
cyclic AMP
Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP, cyclic AMP or 3’-5’-cyclic adenosine monophosphate) is a second messenger important in many biological processes. cAMP is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and used for intracellular signal transduction in many different organisms, conveying the cAMP-dependent pathway.
