What part of the skeletal muscle cell releases calcium when stimulated by the tubules?
The part of the skeletal muscle cell that releases calcium when stimulated by the tubules is the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Specifically, the terminal cisternae of the SR release calcium ions into the cytoplasm in response to the action potential transmitted along the T-tubules. This release of calcium is essential for muscle contraction, as it triggers the interaction between actin and myosin filaments.
What organelle releases calcium ions when an electrochemical message moves down a T-tubule?
Terminal cisterns of the sarcoplasmic reticulum through the Rhynodine receptors release calcium into the skeletal muscle cell when stimulated by an action potential.
When neuron stimulated enough it?
When a neuron is stimulated enough, it reaches its threshold potential and fires an action potential. This action potential travels down the axon of the neuron, allowing for the communication of signals to other neurons or cells.
Why are calcium ions necessary for skeletal muscle contractions?
calcium increases the action potential transmitted along the scarcolemma
Why does the nerve action potential increase slightly when you add 1.0 V to the threshold voltage and stimulate nerve?
The action potential increases slightly because more neurons are being stimulated.
When the neuron is sussiciently stimulated this process and triggers the action potential?
When a neuron is sufficiently stimulated, it depolarizes, allowing sodium ions to rush into the cell, triggering an action potential. The action potential travels down the length of the neuron, causing the release of neurotransmitters at the synapse and facilitating communication with other neurons.
An electrical impulse moving down an axon is called?
This is called action potential. Action potential is the change in electrical potential that occurs between the inside and outside of a nerve or muscle fiber when it is stimulated, serving to transmit nerve signals.
When is calcium pumped into the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
When Ach enters the synaptic cleft (gap) it open chemically gated sodium channels that starts an action potential spreading through the sarcolemma of the myofibril. This action potential spreads down the T-tubules and "shocks" the sarcoplasmic reticulum into releasing calcium ions.
What is the sequence of electrical changes that occurs along the sacrolemma when a muscle fiber is stimulated?
action potential
What is the fast rising phase of the SA node action potential is due to?
The fast rising phase of the SA node action potential is due to the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels. This allows an influx of calcium ions into the cell, leading to depolarization and initiation of an action potential.
What type of channel is responsible for the action potential?
sodium potassium and calcium
What restores and puts the cell membrane to resting conditions after an action potential?
Calcium
