Myosin
Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Increased calcium binds
readily to calmodulin to
activate myosin light chain
kinase
Activation of myosin light
chain kinase leads to high
concentration of myosin LC-P
which causes contractions of
the muscles
There is an overall increase
in calcium levels in the
cytosol caused by the
activation of the Gq
signaling cascade
Cytosol
Iris Sphincter Muscle
Pilcarpine is an agonist of
the Muscarinic acetylcholine
receptor M3
Actin
Actin and myosin bind
bringing the filaments
together causing muscle
contraction
Pilocarpine is administered
