Module 7
Muscle Tissue and Physiology
1
Muscle Tissue: Structure, Location, and Control
Compare the three types of muscle tissue (skeletal, cardiac, smooth) based on structure, location, and control.
2
Skeletal Muscle Hierarchy
Describe the organizational hierarchy of skeletal muscle from whole muscle to myofilament.
3
Sarcomere Anatomy: Bands, Zones, and Lines
Identify the components of a sarcomere, including the A band, I band, H zone, Z disc, and M line.
4
Neuromuscular Junction: Initiating Muscle Contraction
Describe the sequence of events at the neuromuscular junction that initiates a muscle action potential.
5
Excitation-Contraction Coupling: From Action Potential to Calcium Release
Explain the process of excitation-contraction coupling, linking the action potential to the release of calcium ions.
6
The Molecular Dance of Muscle Contraction
Describe the roles of calcium, ATP, troponin, and tropomyosin in the muscle contraction cycle (cross-bridge formation).
7
Sarcomere Shortening: The Sliding Filament Mechanism
Explain the sliding filament mechanism of muscle contraction as the result of sarcomere shortening.
