junction
Definition
Neuromuscular
Term
action potential
Definition
nerve impulse
Term
efferent pathway
Definition
the patheway that an action potential uses going from the CNS
Term
acetylcholine
Definition
the action potential causes the release of the neurotransmitter __________
Term
acetylcholine
Definition
stored in the vesicles at the terminal of the axon
Term
Acetylcholine
Definition
ACh
Term
acetylcholine
Definition
for skeletal muscles the excitable neurotransmitter
Term
synaptic cleft
Definition
the space between the axon terminal and the muscle fiber where neurotranmission takes place
Term
receptors
Definition
found on the motor end plate of the muscle cell--where the ACh binds
Term
Ca++ (sliding filament theory)
Definition
The receptors open ion channels, which causes _____ to elave the sarcoplasmic reticulum where they are stored.
Term
troponin (sliding filament theory)
Definition
Once in the sarcoplasm the Ca++ binds to the protein ______
Term
tropomyosin
Definition
protein that is attached to troponin and covers the binding spot on the actin molecule
Term
change shape and move
Definition
the binding of the Ca++ with the troponin causes it to ___ ____ ___ ____ pulling the tropomyosin off the actin binding spot
Term
ATP
Definition
used to energize the myosin heads, which now for a cross bridge with the actin at the binding site
Term
a cross bridge
Definition
the energized myosin heads and actin at the binding site form _____ _____
Term
ATP
Definition
required to break the cross bridge between the actin and myosin
Term
the actin filaments are pushed towards the center
Definition
As cross bridges are formed and broken,_______________________
Term
shortens
Definition
Since the actin filaments are connected to the Z lines, the sarcomere _____
Term
end to end
Definition
sarcomeres are connected ___ __ ___
Term
acetylcholine
Definition
when the muscle fiber relaxes, action potentials cease coming from the CNS and _____ is no longer released
Term
acetylcholinesterase
Definition
what ACh is in the synaptic cleft is decomposed by the ever present enzyme ________
Term
actively pumped
Definition
the Ca++ in the sarcoplasm are _____ ____ back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Term
cross bridges
Definition
The Ca++ in the sarcoplasm are actively pumped back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and the tropomyosin slips back over the binding site on actin, so no more ___ ____ can be formed.
Term

Term
all or none
Definition
motor units contract _______
Term

Definition
can be produced when the motor unit contains small numbers of muscle fibers
Term

Term
ATP
Definition
required to break the cross bridge

Definition
does not require oxygen, is fast and makes 2 ATP molecules
Term
anaerobic
