27 Sliding filament theory ½x6


· A neural signal reaching neuromuscular junction releases
acetylcholine that generates action potential in the
sarcolemma.
· This causes release of calcium ions in the sarcoplasm.
· This leads to binding of calcium with a subunit of troponin
on actin filaments and remove the masking of active sites for
myosin.
· Using the energy of ATP, myosin heads bind to exposed
active sites on actin to form a cross bridge.
· This pulls the actin filaments towards the centre of A band.
· The Z lines are also pulled inwards causing shortening of the
sarcomere.

filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the
two bones. 1x3 3

33 · The Henle’s loop and vasa recta play a significant role in


concentrating urine.
· The flow of filtrate in the two limbs of Henle’s loop is in
opposite directions and thus forms a counter current.
· The flow of blood through the two limbs of vasa recta is
also in a counter current pattern.
· The proximity between the Henle’s loop and vasa recta,
as well as the counter current in them help in maintaining
an increasing osmolarity towards the inner medullary
interstitium,
· Osmolarity gradient from 300 mOsmolL–1 in the cortex
to about 1200 mOsmolL–1 in the inner medulla. This
gradient is mainly caused by NaCl and urea.
· NaCl is transported by the ascending limb of Henle’s loop
which is exchanged with the descending limb of vasa
recta.
· NaCl is returned to the interstitium by the ascending
portion of vasa recta.

· Similarly, small amounts of urea enter the thin segment


of the ascending limb of Henle’s loop which is
transported back to the interstitium by the collecting
tubule.
· This counter current mechanism helps to maintain a
concentration gradient in the medullary interstitium.
· Presence of such interstitial gradient helps in an easy
passage of water from the collecting tubule thereby
concentrating the filtrate (urine).
