Muscle Fibers• Each fiber is surrounded by connective tissue called
endomysium • Fibers are closely associated with blood vessels
(capillaries), lymph vessels, and nerves• Each fiber has at least one neuromuscular junction • Contraction is monitored by proprioceptors (such as
Golgi tendon organs and muscle spindles)• “All-or-none” principle applies to contraction• Fiber recruitment (or the lack of) allows for changes
in degree of tension produced by the whole muscle

Monitoring of Muscle Contraction• Proprioceptors
– Receptors which are associated with muscle, tendons, joints, and the vestibular apparatus used to monitor degree of muscle tension (tone) and spatial position
• Muscle spindles– Proprioceptors which monitor degree
of muscle fiber length (stretch)Muscle spindle

• Golgi tendon organs – Proprioceptors which measure length
(stretch) of tendon associated with muscle

Control of Muscle Contraction• Somatic division
– of motor (efferent) nervous system controls contraction of skeletal muscle
• Autonomic division – of motor (efferent) nervous system controls
contraction of cardiac and smooth muscle (motor neurons originate from lateral horns in thoracic region of spinal cord)

Motor Unit• Motor unit
– A motor unit is the motor neuron and the fibers it controls
– Motor neuron may branch (collaterals) and control a few to many muscle fibers.
– Precise movements are controlled by small motor units (hand) whereas more gross movements are controlled by large movements (thigh)

– Excitable membrane contains electric (voltage) gated channels
– Extends into cell to form transverse tubules, or T tubules, contains electric (voltage) gated channels
– Has at least one junction with an axon at neuromuscular junction
– Has receptors for neurotransmitter (acetylcholine, or ACh) on its portion of the neuromuscular junction (called the motor end plate)

5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 9
Sarcoplasm• Sacroplasm
– Cytoplasm of the muscle fiber– Contains typical organelles with modifications
of:• Glycogen – deposits are immediate energy
reserves
• Myoglobin - oxygen binding proteins (similar to hemoglobin of red blood cells)
• Myofibrils - thick protein filaments which function mostly in support, contraction regulation, and contraction

5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 10
Nuclei• Nuclei
– Fibers are multinucleate (fiber is produced by fusion of many cells during development)
– Location of nuclei is typically between sarcolemma and myofibrils
![Page 11: Muscle ContractionThick Filaments • Consist of molecules of myosin. Each molecule has a head (cross-bridge) region and tail region • Molecules form the thick filaments • Located](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041908/5e6582c049101059e058aec4/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 11
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)• Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
– Modified endoplasmic reticulum– Mostly found as a network of horizontal tubules which wrap
around the myofibrils and fuse at each end to form a vertical tubule called the terminal cisterna, or lateral sac
– A T-tubule with its associated terminal cisterna (lateral sacs) is referred to as a triad
![Page 12: Muscle ContractionThick Filaments • Consist of molecules of myosin. Each molecule has a head (cross-bridge) region and tail region • Molecules form the thick filaments • Located](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041908/5e6582c049101059e058aec4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 12
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (SR)• Functions mostly in the
regulation of ionic calcium– High concentration of Ca++ is
maintained in the SR by ATP calcium ion pumps
– Ca++ can be released into the sarcoplasm by opening voltage gated Ca++ channels of the terminal cisternae
– Ca++ channels are opened by depolarization
![Page 13: Muscle ContractionThick Filaments • Consist of molecules of myosin. Each molecule has a head (cross-bridge) region and tail region • Molecules form the thick filaments • Located](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041908/5e6582c049101059e058aec4/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 13
Ca++ Concentration
– If Ca++ is released, it is quickly pumped back into the SR, unless
• the voltage gated channels are reopened before Ca++ is removed from the sarcoplasm(another depolarization quickly follows)
• the Ca++ channels remain open (rapid or continuous depolarization occurs)

– Extend the length of the muscle fiber (cell)– Their proteins function mostly in support,
contraction regulation, and contraction– A-bands (anisotropic) are dark regions– I-bands (isotropic) are light regions
![Page 16: Muscle ContractionThick Filaments • Consist of molecules of myosin. Each molecule has a head (cross-bridge) region and tail region • Molecules form the thick filaments • Located](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041908/5e6582c049101059e058aec4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 19
Actin• G (globular) actin
molecules bonded to form double chain F (filament) actin
• Each G actin has binding site for head (cross-bridge) of myosin
• In resting muscle binding sites are blocked by regulator proteins, troponin and tropomyosin

Troponin and Tropomyosin• Troponin (consists of three
subunits)– Binds Ca++– Attached to tropomyosin– Attached to G-actin
• Tropomyosin– Long filamentous protein
which covers actin’s myosin binding sites
– Attached to troponinTroponin-tropomyosin moves
away from the myosin binding sites when troponin binds with Ca++

5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 22
Myosin• Molecules form thick filament• Heads (cross-bridges) associate with binding
sites on actin (in resting muscle actin’s binding sites are blocked)
• Myosin binds ATP• ATP serves as energy for movement of cross-
bridge which results in shortening of sarcomere (muscle contraction)
![Page 23: Muscle ContractionThick Filaments • Consist of molecules of myosin. Each molecule has a head (cross-bridge) region and tail region • Molecules form the thick filaments • Located](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041908/5e6582c049101059e058aec4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 23
Myosin –Energy Configurations• High energy configuration
– Bonding of ATP moves myosin head (cross-bridge) to a high energy configuration
• Low energy configuration– Transfer of energy when the
pivoting movement of the myosin head (cross-bridge) occurs results in a low energy configuration
![Page 24: Muscle ContractionThick Filaments • Consist of molecules of myosin. Each molecule has a head (cross-bridge) region and tail region • Molecules form the thick filaments • Located](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022041908/5e6582c049101059e058aec4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
5/30/02 Mr. Davenport © 24
Myosin Head (cross-bridge) Movement
• Chemical energy (from ATP) is converted to mechanical energy when the myosin head (cross-bridge) moves.– Since the head (cross-bridge) is attached to actin,
actin also moves resulting in the shortening of the sarcomere (muscle)
• ATP is required to reconfigure the head to the high energy position.

Myosin and Actin Detach• Before the myosin head (cross-bridge) configures
to the high-energy position it detaches from the G-actin molecule

Myosin Configures to High-Energy Position
• Binding of ATP produces a change in the shape of the myosin head (cross-bridge)

Myosin and Actin Attach• Myosin can now attach to the next G-actin molecule• Attachment will produce the next power stroke

Contraction Continues
• For as long as– Ca++ concentration is high and troponin-tropomyosin
complex does not block myosin binding sites– ATP is supplied to permit
• Detachment of myosin from G-actin• Energize myosin head
– Fatigue does not occur• pH change (lactic acid)• Decrease in ATP• Ionic imbalance• Nutritional imbalance

Contraction Ends• If another rapid
depolarization does not occur– Ca++ pumped into SR– Troponin-tropomyosin
complex moves back into blocking position
Thus, myosin can not bind with actin

Resting Fiber• Myosin can not interact with actin until Ca++
bonds to troponin resulting in removal of troponin-tropomyosin blockade

Myosin Binds with Actin• The tension (force of contraction) which the
fiber (cell) develops depends upon ?• What causes the movement of the head (cross-
bridge)?

Myosin Releases from Actin• When does myosin release from actin?• When does myosin configure to its high
energy position?
