Draw a diagram!
The purpose of the diagram is to show the steps from a neuron
stimulating a skeletal muscle cell to contraction of that muscle
cell.
Include in your diagram:
•axon terminal of motor neuron
•synaptic cleft
•neurotransmitter
•neurotransmitter binding channels on muscle cell
•t-tubules
•depolarization
•sarcoplasmic reticulum
•receptors/channels that work together to release Ca2+
•Ca2+, Where is it? Where does it go? What does it bind
to?
•Sarcomeres-components (actin, myosin, tropomyosin, troponin,
ATP) and how it works (sliding filament theory)
Draw the diagram and label the parts. Include text to describe
the steps.
