Question
Chapter 26, Problem 1PIT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The way by which the musculoskeletal system maintains homeostasis.
Introduction:
The musculoskeletal system consists of the skeletal system (hydroskeletal, endoskeletal and exoskeletal) and skeletal muscles (muscle fibers). The endoskeletal system consists of bones, bone tissues, and cartilage; whereas, the muscle fibers consist of actin, myosin, and motor neurons.

Gather information on the structure and function of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle. Combine all this information to create a brief guide to the structure and function of vertebrate muscle. Points that you need to consider include cell shape; cell size; number of nuclei per cell; position of the nuclei; presence or absence of striations; presence or absence of branching; and presence or absence of intercalated discs.b) Follow the table with a one-sentence explanation of what an intercalateddisc is. c) Briefly explain what happens to actin and myosin in muscle during rigor mortis.
Why would skeletal muscle be unsuitable for the wall of the urinary bladder? Explain how this illustrates the complementarity of form and function at a cellular and molecular level.
Discuss the following statement: “The basal lam-ina of muscle fibers serves as a molecular bulletin board,in which adjoining cells can post messages that direct thedifferentiation and function of the underlying cells.”

Use the sliding filament model to draw how thin filaments, thick filaments, and Z lines move during muscle contraction. Predict how perturbations of acetylcholine release, reception, or breakdown will influence muscle contraction. Predict how perturbations of actin, troponin, tropomyosin, myosin, or calcium would influence muscle contraction. Distinguish between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. Predict how changes in stress levels or situations would affect activation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine, and blood pressure.arrow_forwardCalmodulin is found in smooth muscle cells and performs a similar function to troponin in striated muscle fibers. However, calmodulin not only gets activated by Ca2+ but also slows the release of Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. How might this difference relate to the different kinds of contractions smooth muscles do in comparison to striated muscles?arrow_forward

Muscles become very rigid due to excessive contraction (especially the masseter muscle), the body temperature spikes, andmuscles break down. Death is certain if not treated. Given the principal symptoms of malignant hyperthermia, what is its likely cause?Propose a theoretical mechanism for a treatment that would dampen the deleterious effects of this disorder.arrow_forward
