Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Calcium binding to troponin
displaces tropomyosin from
the myosin binding sites on
the actin filaments
Myosin, with an ADP and
phosphate attached, binds to
actin to form a cross
bridge. Myosin performs a
powerstroke, drawing the
actin filaments together.
Many actin filaments pulled
together at the same time
leads to muscle contraction.
Actin Filament
Myosin Filament
The beta-1 adrenergic
receptor is coupled to and
activates the G-protein
signalling cascade.
the G-protein signalling
cascade activates protein
kinase which activates
calcium channels on the
membrane, resulting in
calcium influx.
Calcium activates the
ryanodine receptor on the
sarcoplasmic reticulum.
