- Vertebrate striated muscle contraction is controlled (regulated) by the action of the proteins troponin and tropomyosin on the actin filaments. Nervous stimulation causes a depolarisation of the muscle membrane (sarcolemma) which triggers the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

- Muscle and the Nervous System. Although the peripheral nervous system controls muscle activation, each muscle type is control by a different mechanism. Skeletal muscle is controlled by the somatic nervous system (SNS). It is considered voluntary muscle since it is under our conscious control. Contraction of cardiac muscle is primarily controlled by an internal pacemaker, and the autonomic nervous system (ANS).

What is the correct sequence that occurs during the excitation and contraction of a muscle cell? Excitation begins as a motor neuron transmits an action potential to the neuromuscular junction where it gets propagated along the muscle cell. This action potential is an electrical impulse that depolarizes the muscle cell membrane, the sarcolemma, which then releases ions in the sacroplasmic reticulum and transverse tubules.

What causes muscle contractions? Confidence votes 60. Muscle contraction in initiated by an action potential sent from the brain or spinal cord to the axon terminal of a motor neuron. Calcium then goes into the axon terminal which causes the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which binds to receptors on the plasmalemma.uscle contraction in initiated by an action potential sent from the brain or spinal cord to the axon terminal of a motor neuron.

Histology@ Yale Acetylcholine binds to receptors on the post-synaptic membrane and causes depolarization of the muscle fiber, which leads to its contraction. Typically, one action potential in the neuron releases enough neurotransmitter to cause one contraction in the muscle fiber. In muscle cells, the sarcolemma or plasma membrane extends transversely into the sarcoplasm to surround each myofibril, establishing the T-tubule system.

- 1 Cardiac muscle fibers contract via excitation-contraction coupling, using a mechanism unique to cardiac muscle called calcium-induced calcium release.  Excitation-contraction coupling describes the process of converting an electrical stimulus (action potential) into a mechanical response (muscle contraction).

Biology, Eighth Edition (Raven) Nerve impulses that originate in the central nervous system cause muscles to contract. Both neurons and muscle tissue conduct electrical current by moving ions across cellular membranes. A motor neuron ends in a synapse with a muscle fiber. The neuron releases acetylcholine and transfers the action potential to the muscle tissue. The signal will travel through the tissue and trigger the contraction of individual sarcomeres. One synapse generally controls an entire muscle fiber. One motor neuron usually controls several adjacent muscle fibers.

The Mechanism of Muscle Contraction (6) At the opening of each transverse tubule onto the muscle fiber surface, the action potential spreads inside the muscle fiber. (7) At each point where a transverse tubule touches part of the sarcoplasmic reticulum, it causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release Ca ++ ions.

Biology- Muscular system (terms and definitions) Muscle contraction. A nerve impulse is sent to a muscle and causes the release of Calcium ions. This causes Myosin filaments to grab the Actin filaments. ATP energy is used to bend the Myosin filament heads inward. This pulls the Actin filaments closer together and shortens the muscle.

Describe how the bone and muscle work together to make you move? Let's take a look at what occurs within a skeletal muscle, from excitation to contraction to relaxation 1  : An electrical signal (action potential) travels down a nerve cell, causing it to release a chemical message (neurotransmitter) into a small gap between the nerve cell and muscle cell. 2  This gap is called the synapse.he trigger for a muscle contraction is an electrical impulse. The electrical signal sets off a series of events that lead to crossbridge cycling between myosin and actin, which generates force.

How do muscles contract? The muscle fiber is now receiving Na+, which makes the inside of the muscle fiber more positively charged. This triggers a muscle action potential, which leads to a contraction of the muscle fiber; a more positively charged or depolarized muscle fiber forms the basis of how muscles contract. The binding of receptors is short lived, however, because the acetylcholine that is binding the receptors is quickly broken down.

What causes the striated appearance of skeletal muscles? Nerve impulses (action potentials) traveling down the motor neurons of the sensory-somatic branch of the nervous system cause the skeletal muscle fibers at which they terminate to contract. The junction between the terminal of a motor neuron and a muscle fiber is called the neuromuscular junction.erve impulses (action potentials) traveling down the motor neurons of the sensory-somatic branch of the nervous system cause the skeletal muscle fibers at which they terminate to contract.

The Mechanism of Muscle Contraction This is the driving force of muscle contraction. Contraction is turned off by the following sequence of events: (9) Acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction is broken down by acetylcholinesterase, and this terminates the stream of action potentials along the muscle fiber surface.

What happens during muscle contraction or relaxation? The outflow of calcium allows the myosin heads access to the actin cross bridge binding sites, permitting muscle contraction. [edit] Rest At rest, the myosin head is bound to an ATP molecule in a low-energy configuration and is unable to access the cross bridge binding sites on the actin.uring stimulation of the muscle cell, the motor neuron releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine which travels across the neuromuscular junction (the synapse between the terminal bouton of the neuron and the muscle cell). Acetylcholine binds to a post-synaptic nicotinic acetylcholine receptor.
