09 Skeletal Muscles


  • smooth muscle no striation

  • triad of T tubule + 2 terminal cisterna

  • A not change
  • H and I shrink

  • thin filament regulate: regulated by tropomyosin, part of actin
  • smooth muscle thick filament regulated

  • EC coupling: voltage and depolarization of muscle cell coupled by Ca to contraction of muscle

  • contraction of muscle cells follows AP

  • CCB main effect on smooth muscle not skeletal

  • must get Ca back in for more contraction
