Calcium Movements in Muscle
نویسنده
چکیده
The movements of calcium in muscle have been followed during contraction and contracture to test the hypothesis that the release of calcium from the surface of the muscle membrane during stimulation initiates the contractile mechanism. Nitrate ion increases the calcium influx during a single twitch and during potassium contracture, and also increases the tension developed. The increased entry of calcium during a potassium contracture is transient and not sustained as is the contracture. Caffeine, which brings about a contracture without depolarization of the membrane and despite the absence of calcium from the medium, causes calcium to be released from the muscle.

New studies in neuromuscular control have indicated that the strength of muscle contraction isn’t the only important factor in a task. But the speed at which a muscle responds, preparation of muscle and synergistic pattern at which a group of muscles recruit to a task or respond to a condition are much more important in constant joint stabilization and potential injury prevention. The purpo...
متن کاملEvaluation of Rat Muscle Structure in Pre-Menopausal Period after Regular Resistance Exercise and Taking Vitamin D and Calcium Supplements
Introduction: Menopause can change the musculoskeletal system by reducing estrogen hormone levels. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of regular resistance training accompanied by vitamins D and calcium supplements during pre-menopausal period on muscle tissues of Wistar rats’ postmenopausal period. Methods: In this experimental study, female Wistar rats were randomly divided int...
متن کاملIdentification of voltage-sensitive calcium channels in Setaria cervi (Nematoda: Filarioidea) and their role in regulation of spontaneous motility.
Whole worm of Setaria cervi and its nerve muscle preparation exhibit rhythmical movements when suspended in modified Ringer's solution in an isolated organ bath. Deprivation of calcium from the bathing fluid results in gradual reduction in the amplitude and rate of contraction till the movements ceased completely. Similar results were obtained by adding EDTA (5 micrograms/ml) to the bath. The e...
متن کاملCytoskeletal regulation of mitochondrial movements in myoblasts.
Mitochondria are distributed in the cell to match the energy demands, and it is their interaction with the cytoskeleton that controls their movement and displacement. Our purpose was to determine which cytoskeletal components are primarily responsible for mitochondrial movement in muscle cells. Live-cell imaging was used to visualize mitochondrial dynamics in myoblasts. Destabilization of micro...
متن کاملRegulation of cholinomimetic action of pyrantel pamoate by calcium channels in Setaria cervi.
Nerve muscle preparation of Setaria cervi (Nematoda:Filarioidea) exhibits spontaneous rhythmical movements when suspended in isolated organ bath containing modified Ringer's solution. Pyrantel pamoate (50 ng/ml) when applied caused initial short lasting stimulation followed by irreversible paralysis. When suspended in calcium free bathing fluid the movements of n.m. preparation showed a gradual...
