Motor UnitMotoneuron + muscle fibers it innervates
Range in size from a few muscle fibers(e.g. extraocular muscles)
To hundreds of fibers(e.g. digits)
To thousands of fibers(e.g. trunk and major limb segments)
Smaller motor units yield more refined controla motor “fovea”

Excitation of a Muscle Fiber•An action potential in an alpha motoneuron axon.
•ACh is released by the axon terminal at the neuromuscular junction (synapse between motoneuron and muscle.
•Nicotinic receptor channels open, Na+ enters and the membrane depolarizes (EPSP).
•Voltage-gated Na+ channels open and an action potential is propagated down the muscle fiber.
•Depolarization produces Ca2+ release from intracellular stores.

Contraction of a Muscle Fiber•Ca2+ binds to tropinin.
•Myosin binding sites are exposed.
•Myosin heads bind actin.
•Myosin cross-bridges pivot.
•Myosin heads disengage at the expense (ATP-dependent).
•Recycle as long as Ca2+ and ATP are present.

Relaxation of a Muscle Fiber•As EPSPs end, membrane returns to resting potential.
•Free Ca2+ is sequestered by metabolically driven pump.
•Myosin binding sites covered.

Problem of LocomotionDegrees of freedom problem (Bernstein)
Dozens of joints controlled by hundredsof muscles
Muscles can contract in any combination,in any order, for any duration, and withany force.
Possibilities are virtually limitless, makingcontrol of complex movementsat the level of individual musclesimpossible
