Transcript Sliding Filament Theory Review
*
* Acetylcholine * Actin * ATP * Ca+ ions * Myosin heads * * Na+/K+ ions * Troponin * Tropomyosin * Sarcoplasmic reticulum * Z-line
* Binds to sarcolemma * Opens Na+/K+ gated ion channels *
*
Pulled by myosin
*
Attaches to Z-line
*
* Energizes the power stroke of myosin head * Disconnects the myosin cross bridge from the binding site on actin. * Fuels the pump that actively transports calcium ions back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. *
* Bind to troponin * Help expose binding sites on actin *
* Powered by ATP, pull actin filaments closer together *
* Depolarize muscle cell * Cause Ca+ ions to leave sarcoplasmic reticulum *
* Binds to tropomyosin * When Ca+ present, helps slide tropomyosin off binding sites *
* Covers binding sites on actin where myosin heads bind *
* Storage of Ca+ ions * Released during depolarization *
* Pulled together during contraction * Attached to actin myofilaments *
