In most smooth muscles, PKC has contraction-promoting effects such as phosphorylation of Ca 2+ channels or other proteins that regulate cross-bridge cycling. Activator Ca 2+ binds to calmodulin, leading to activation of myosin light chain kinase (MLC kinase).
9 kwi 2024 · Learn about the ultrastructure, mode of contraction and function of smooth muscle, a non-striated muscle tissue found in many body systems. Find out how smooth muscle is regulated by calcium, hormones, nerves and stress-relaxation response.
14 sie 2023 · Smooth muscle contraction depends on calcium influx. Calcium increases within the smooth muscle cell through two different processes. First, depolarization, hormones, or neurotransmitters cause calcium to enter the cell through L-type channels located in the caveolae of the membrane.
This is my best attempt at simplifying how smooth muscle contracts and relaxes. I talk about the different ways calcium enters the cell, the steps of contra...
Understand the structure and function of smooth muscle tissue. By the end of this section, you will be able to: Understand the difference between single-unit and multi-unit smooth muscle; Describe the microanatomy of a smooth muscle cell; Explain the process of smooth muscle contraction; Explain how smooth muscle differs from skeletal muscle
