i had to do a project in my bio class about muscle contraction so i decided to do somthing a little different from the norm. i described the whole process of how a muscle contracts in a rap by Kanye West's "Stronger".
lyrics:
n- n- now th- that will move me
muscle contractions make me stronger
nervous system needs to hurry up now
Cause muscles cant wait much longer
I know they need to move right now
Cause I cant get much wronger
body is waitin till its the right time now
that's where ill get started
the muscle contraction
the muscle contraction
lets see how it starts all right?
fuel by motor neuron were contraction starts
stimulus leading is action potential
and this makes a synapse with the muscle fiber
the synaptic terminal release Ach
diffuse through cleft and bind to fiber membrane
it triggers, an action potential
action potential moves down T tubules
SR releases calcium ions
Troponin is where calcium will then bind
It changes the shape of troponin
removes blocking action of tropomyosin
the myosin-binding sites are now exposed
this is how process goes down so far
theres alot that makes up all this
don't think we are through yet, so much more, explainin
n- n- now th- that will move me
muscle contractions make me stronger
nervous system needs to hurry up now
Cause muscles cant wait much longer
I know they need to move right now
Cause I cant get much wronger
body is waitin till its the right time now
that's where ill get started
the muscle contraction
the muscle contraction
go again
back to where we were then I will start
so myosin is now exposed
myosin cross-bridges alternate
back and forth attachin and detachin to actin
actin filaments move toward sarcomere
sliding of filaments by ATP
by active transport calcium removed
Goes to SR with end of action potential
Then block of myosin-binding site
The contraction ends which is real tight
Muscle fiber rests which is most liked
With stimulus present again which is all right
process starts over, contractions on sight
that's how contractions go down, we tight?
Ugh, muscle contraction makin it (harder, faster, stronger)
n- n- now th- that will move me
muscle contractions make me stronger
nervous system needs to hurry up now
Cause muscles cant wait much longer
I know they need to move right now
Cause I cant get much wronger
body is waitin till its the right time now
that's where ill get started
the muscle contraction
the muscle contraction
now you know how it goes, don't ya?
Muscle contraction is just another process
Now explained no questions needed
Don't act like I never told ya (5x)
Muscle contraction makin it (harder, better, faster, stronger)
n- n- now th- that will move me
muscle contractions make me stronger
nervous system needs to hurry up now
Cause muscles cant wait much longer
I know they need to move right now
Cause I cant get much wronger
body is waitin till its the right time now
that's where ill get started
the muscle contraction (4x)
now you know how it goes, don't ya?
Muscle contraction is just another process
Now explained no questions needed
Don't act like I never told ya
now you know how it goes, don't ya?
Muscle contraction is just another process
Now explained no questions needed
Don't act like I never told ya
Never told ya (4x)
Never over (8x)
well i hope you guys enjoy and learn a little somthin about muscle contraction.
whats the original song and great vid m8te!
