Skeletal muscle physiology
Block 2
Nervcellsfysiologi
Eric Hanse

## Page 2
Motor unit
The -motorneuron and the muscle fibrers innervated by the -motorneuron
---
## Page 3
The skeletal muscle consists of
sarcomeres in series and in parallel
---
## Page 4
The neuromuscular junction
A very large synapse consisting of
several hundreds of release sites
High ”safety” produces a
suprathreshold postsynaptic
potential
AchE hydrolyses most of the Ach
within 1 ms
---
## Page 5
Pharmacological aspects
Postsynaptic
AchR antagonists Curare (Eg. Tubocurarine,
pancuronium, vecuronium, atracurium)
Myasthenia Gravis (antibodies against nAChR, α1-
subunit)
AchR agonists
Desensitisation of AChR (Eg. Suxamethonium)
AchE-inhibitors
Reversible (eg. neostigmine och physostigmine)
- Treatment of av mysthenia gravis
Irreversible ”nerve gases” (eg. sarin, Dyflos,
ecothiopate, parathion)
Presynaptic
Inhibition of choline transport (Ex.
hemicholinium)
Lambert-Eatons syndrome (antibodies against
presynaptic voltage-gated calcium channels)
Botulinus toxin proteolysis of SNARE proteins
---
## Page 6
Developmental aspects
Innervation promotes clustering of
AChR and switch of subunits
-reversible upon denervation
Polyneuronal innervation initially
---
## Page 7
Calcium, from the sarcoplasmatic reticulum, is
necessary for myosin binding to actin
---
## Page 8
ATP transfer energy to myosin, and decreases
the affinity between myosin and actin
The contraction force is proportionell to the number of parallel
actin-myosin bindings at any given moment
---
## Page 9
The muscle is strongest at an optimal length
---
## Page 10
The higher contraction velocity, the lower force
Koncentrisk
Excentrisk
---
## Page 11
M Linari et al. Nature 528:276 10 DEC 2015
Higher tension recruits more myosin filaments
---
## Page 12
Calcium makes the titin stiffer
Herzog 2014 J Appl Physiol 116:1407
---
## Page 13
The nervous system regulates contraction force
by summation and recruitment
Summation
-summates contractions mainly because of higher
calcium concentrations in response to higher
frequencies of action potentials
Recruitment
of motor units according to a pre-
determined order, type I (S) first

Different motor units

Fatigue
Peripheral fatigue
1) Reduced force
2) Slower shortening velocity
3) Slower relaxation
Central and peripheral fatigue
