Describe how acetylcholine, sodium ions and calcium ions work together to enable a
muscle contraction. - CORRECT ANSWER: Acetylcholine (a special chemical called a
neurotransmitter) is released from a motor nerve at the neuromuscular junction (or
NMJ). Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the muscle fiber that cause sodium channels
, to open. Sodium ions rush inside the cell, triggering an action potential which eventually
reaches the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic
reticulum of the muscle cell, causing a muscle contraction to occur.
Describe what is meant by muscle fiber "cross-bridges". What occurs to enable
movement of the cross-bridges? - CORRECT ANSWER: In the presence of calcium
ions, portions of a myosin filament called cross-bridges bend backward and attach to an
actin filament. After attaching to the actin filament, the crossbridges bend forward, and
the actin filament is pulled along. The cross-bridges attach and detach some fifty to 100
times as the thin filaments are pulled to the center of a sarcomere. ATP is needed on a
cellular level for the myosin to pull actin along.
During a muscle contraction which protein myofilament is pulled along? - CORRECT
