One neuron stimulates a skeletal muscle: what does it happen at the neuron termination? 2. And what does it happen in the muscle from the arrival of the stimulus up to the contraction
Homework Answers
1. Arrival of action potential to axon terminal stimulate openin of calcium channel. This causes influx of calcium ion. Calcium binds to synaptic vesicle and this leads to fusion of synaptic vesicle to axon terminal membrane. This leads to release of neurotransmitter (Acetylcholine) in synaptic cleft.
2. Acetylcholine binds to its receptor on motor end plate. This leads to depolarisation of motor end plate. This leads to influx of calcium ion within muscle cell. Calcium now binds to troponin and this causes displacement of tropomyosin from active site of actin. Myosin now bind to active site of actin by utilisation of ATP, this leads to cross bridge formation (between actin and myosin). This leads to muscle contraction.

Why does a skeletal muscle cell need a neuromuscular junction as a component part? Skeletal muscle fibers are voluntary and thus must be stimulated by a neural impulse before they will contract. Through the neuron, the brain tells the muscle cell what proteins to produce and what wastes to pump out of the cell. The muscle cell needs to be told when to divide, such as when a person is exercising and needs more muscle. A neuron provides the necessary...

what is the energy source used for muscle contraction? how does recruitment of motor units work? do all muscle fibers in a motor unit contract every time the somatic motor neuron stimulates it?

Question 16 (1 point) What is the best description of a tetanic contraction in a skeletal muscle cell? A single action potential in the motor neuron causes a sustained contraction Multiple action potentials in the motor neuron cause a sustained contraction.

A.Describe one similarity and one difference between skeletal muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells? B.When action potential arrives at the axonal terminal of neuromuscular junction (NMJ), name the neurotransmitter released to the synaptic cleft. Name the ion channel responsible for the binding to the neurotransmitter (c) When action potential arrives and travels down the T-tubule of skeletal muscle cells, this triggers the release of calcium ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
