100

after Ca2+ comes into the axon, it pushes vessicles filled with what out into the synaptic cleft?

Ach

100

always open, allows things free movement in/out of cell based on diffusion

leak channel 

100

what muscle is voluntary, striated, and multi-nucleated

skeletal muscle

100

a bundle of muscles cells or fibers is called

fascicle

100

this way to make ATP includes oxygen

aerobic

200

What is the next step in altering RMP after Ach is in the synaptic cleft?

It opens ligand gated Na+ channels, allowing Na+ to flood into the cell

200

ligand binding to biding site causes channel to open, allowing molecule movement 

ligand gated channel 

200

Dense irregular connective tissue surrounding entire muscle

Epimysium 

200

thick filament

myosin

200

anaerobic pathway gives us how much time of energy?

30-40 seconds

300

What leaves the cell to repolarize it?

K+

300

changing voltage inside cell causes shape change, opening channel for molecule movement 

voltage-gated channel 

300

during contraction, actin and myosin overlap (without changing their respective lengths is what?

sliding filament model of contraction

300

What muscle is involuntary; found in the walls of hollow visceral organs 

smooth muscle

300

what is the name of the ways to create ATP that energy source is creatine phosphate. It gives us 1 ATP, that provides us 15 seconds energy. 

Direct phosphorylation 

400

What number does the cell have to get to to be considered at threshold?

-55mV

400

what does voltage gated channel do at the presynaptic axon terminal that causes vesicles with NT move down to its end? 

Ca++ ions entry

400

What 4 steps must occur for skeletal muscles to contract?

1 nerve stimulation

2. action potential

3. action potential must be propagated along sarcolemma

4. ICF Ca+ levels must ride briefly

400

Why is ATP needed?

To establish RMP at sarcolemma

for detachment and recocking of myosin head

for SR to reabsorb Ca2+ 

400

if you want short duration, but high intensity workout, what pathway do you use to get energy?

anaerobic

500

What is the "cardinal rule" when talking about RMP?

the tendency for K+ to diffuse OUT of the cell

500

ACh binds with which cannel? 

ligand gated channel

500

events that transmit the action potential along the sarcolemma are coupled to sliding of myofilament

excitation- contraction coupling

500

What are the 4 steps in the cross bridge cycle?

1. (cross bridge formation)myosin head attaches to actin

2. (power stroke) myosin head pivots and pulls filament 

3. (cross bridge detachment) ATP attaches to myosin head causing detachment

4. (Cocking of myosin head) myosin head is cocked into a high energy state

500

What is the name of the ways to create 2 ATP that use glucose? This gives us 30-40 seconds of energy

Anaerobic pathway
