Other Muscle Proteins Brown Tropomyosin Yellow Troponins Blue Actin Black Myosin Head Bind Site Pink Myosin
Muscle Structure • Describe the hierarchy of organization in muscle • Distinguish smooth, skeletal and cardiac muscle based on histology • Understand and rationalize the differences between fiber types • Know the skeletal muscle sarcomere structure cold.
E-C Coupling (Smooth) Neurotransmitter G IP3 PIP2 Ca2+ SR
Muscle Contraction • Know each step in transmission across the neuromuscular junction • Know each step in E-C Coupling for striated muscle • Know each step in the cross-bridge cycle for striated muscle • Know the differences between smooth and striated (skeletal + cardiac) muscle
Preload and Afterload Preload The force (load) a muscle exerts prior to contraction. Pre-contraction Afterload Force muscle exerts during contraction. After [the start of] contraction Demonstration
Exercise Physiology These are all adaptations • Learning new motor patterns • Strength exercises: muscle hypertrophy • Endurance exercises: changes in muscle metabolism
Muscle Diseases Metabolism • Lactic Acidosis • Glycogen Storage Diseases Muscle Function • Dilated Cardiomyopathy • Muscular Dystrophy • Malignant Hyperthermia • Neurologic • Hirschsprung’s disease • Myesthenia Gravis • Multiple Sclerosis • Parkinson’s Disease • Polio
