Molecular Mechanism Of Muscle Contraction • Sliding filament mechanism • Walk along theory • Ratchet theory
Motor Unit α- motor N Single Motor Neuron & all Muscle Fibers it innervates constitute a single Motor Unit.
Ligand Gated Channel (Acetylcholine) Closed Open
Safety factor for transmission at the Neuromuscular junction. • Fatigue of Neuromuscular Junction
Myasthenia Gravis • 1 in every 20,000 persons. • Antibodies against acetylcholine receptors. • Autoimmune disease. • Muscle paralysis ---- inability of neuromuscular junction to transmit enough signals . • Neostigmine ---- anticholinesterase drug.
T Sarcoplasmic ReticulumT-Tubule & Longitudinal Tubule T L
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum(T-tubule)DHP & Ryanidin Receptor (Hypothetical Model)
A.P entering the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum causing release of Ca++ ions
Excitation-Contraction coupling“The process by which the depolarization of the muscle fiber initiates contraction”
Sequence of Events in contraction of Muscle • Stimulation of Motor Neuron. • Release of neurotransmitter (Acetylcholine) at Motor End-plate. • Binding of Ach to Nicotinic Receptors. • Increased Na+ conductance through Ach Channels • Generation of end-plate potential • Generation ofAction Potentialin Muscle Fiber
Sequence of Events in Contraction • Inward spread of depolarization along T-Tubule- Sensing by DHP receptors & opening of Rayanidine receptors in terminal cisterns. • Release of Ca++ from terminal cistern of Sarcoplasmic Reticulum and diffusion to myofilaments • Binding of Ca++ to Troponin-C, uncovering Myosin binding on Actin filaments • Formation of Cross linkages between Actin & Myosin leading to sliding of thin on thick filaments, producing movement of Z-lines toward the centre
Steps involved in Relaxation of Muscle • ATP attaches to Myosin head • Ca++ Pumped Back in Sarcoplasmic Reticulum. (Ca++ Mg++ ATPase Pump always On ) • Release of Ca++ from Troponin • Cessation of Interaction between Actin & Myosin filaments
