Agents that paralyze skeletal muscle by simple competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called?

a. nondepolarizing

b. depolarizing

c. antagonizing

d. repolarizing

Answer:

a. nondepolarizing

Explanation:

As the nerve impulse arrives, the synaptic end bulbs of the motor neurons release acetylcholine in the synapse. Acetylcholine binds to its receptors present at the motor endplate. This results in the opening of an ion channel in the ACh receptor to allow the movement of the Na+ into the cell. This makes the inside of the muscle fiber more positively charged, that is, depolarized.

Depolarization triggers a muscle action potential. Drugs or chemicals that paralyze skeletal muscle by competitive inhibition of acetylcholine at muscle receptor sites are called non-depolarizing as they do not allow the acetylcholine to facilitate the depolarization of the muscle fiber.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3: "<em>High levels of Ca2+ are expected to be found </em><em>within the sarcoplasmic reticulum</em>".

Explanation:

Muscular contraction is a highly regulated process that depends on free calcium concentration in the cytoplasm. Amounts of cytoplasmic calcium are regulated by <u>sarcoplasmic reticulum</u> that functions as a storage of the ion.

When a nerve impulse reaches the membrane of a muscle fiber, through acetylcholine release,  the membrane depolarizes producing the entrance of calcium from <u>extracellular space</u>. The impulse is transmitted along the membrane to the sarcoplasmic reticulum, from where calcium is released.  At this point, <em>tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament</em>. The calcium channel in the sarcoplasmic reticulum controls the ion release, that activates and regulates muscle contraction, by increasing its cytoplasmic levels. When <em>calcium binds to the troponin C</em>, <em>the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites,</em> making possible the formation of <em>cross-bridges between actin and myosin filaments.</em> When myosin binds to the uncovered actin-binding sites, ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate.

Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.
