Sliding Filament Model cont.
  1. Calcium Ions allow Muscles to Contract
    1. The binding sites for the myosin head group on the actin fibre are covered by the tropomyosin subunits, meaning that a myosin head group cannot attach to any such binding site nor can cross bridges form or muscle contraction occur
      1. When an action potential arrives, via neurone, at the neuromuscular junction, calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in the sarcomeres.
        1. These calcium ions diffuse through the sarcoplasm and bind to the troponin molecules
          1. This binding changes the shape of the troponin, which moves the tropomyosin away from the binding sites on the actin
            1. The actin- myosin binding sites are uncovered and so cross bridges can firn, This allows the power stroke and muscle contraction to occur.
    2. The Role of ATP in the Power Stroke
      1. When the myosin head group attaches to the actin binding site and bends, the molecules are in their most stable form.
        1. Energy from ATP is required in order to break the cross bridge connection and re-set the myosin head forwards
          1. The myosin head group can the attach to the next binding site along the actin molecule and bend again
      2. Maintenance of ATP Supply
        1. In order to allow for continued contraction, ATP must be regenerated as quickly as it made up.
          1. Aerobic respiration in muscle cell mitochondria: dependent on the supply of oxygen to the muscles and the availability of respiratory substrate.
            1. Anaerobic respiration in the muscle cell sarcoplasm: Quick process, leads to lactic acid (toxic).
              1. Transfer from creatine phosphate in the muscle cell sarcoplasm
