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

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

M Linari et al. Nature 528:276 10 DEC 2015 Higher tension recruits more myosin filaments

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

Fatigue Peripheral fatigue
- Reduced force
- Slower shortening velocity
- Slower relaxation Central and peripheral fatigue
