Muscle Cell



Muscle Cell
What is an organelle name in striated muscle cell?

Provide the name of one organelle and/or structure that is especially prominent. Also, provide the function of these organelles and/or structures. Do not use any molecules in your answers; likewise do not use cell wall, plasma membrane, nucleus, cytosol, or cytoplasm in the answer.

They also have endoplasmic reticulums, or called Sarcoplasmic Reticulum (in muscle cells). They are responsible for the secretion and retention of Ca2+ (calcium ion) in the cell, to generate muscle contraction. when the signal is given by the adjacent nerve cell, the sarcoplasmic reticulum release Ca2+, Ca2+ binds troponin inducing a conformational change that allows the myosin head to bind. Myosin in the presence of actin filaments and troponin, hydrolyses ATP (using its ATPase) and slides the filaments thus contraction.

ATPase muscle enzyme Photo Mugs



Calcium pumping ATPase enzyme. Computer model of an electrostatic potential surface map of part of the ATPase enzyme that pumps calcium in and out of muscle cells and controls muscle contractions. The name ATPase refers to this enzymes ability to break up the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule and release energy. This ATPase uses the energy to pump calcium ions in and out of muscle cells, and i…

Arteriole. Light micrograph of a longitudinal section through an arteriole blood vessel (upper right to bottom left). Arterioles carry blood from the arteries to the network of capillaries that supply oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues. The arteriole possesses a thick, muscular wall which enables it to carry blood under pressure. The wall is mainly composed of smooth muscle fibres, which are…
