Biography and career. Satterfield was born Louis Edward in Shaw, Mississippi, a city in Bolivar and Sunflower counties, Mississippi, in the Mississippi Delta region, on April 3, 1937.
Excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) is the process whereby an action potential triggers a myocyte to contract.When a myocyte is depolarized by an action potential, calcium ions enter the cell during phase 2 of the action potential through L-type calcium channels located on the sarcolemma.hen calcium binds to the TN-C, this induces a conformational change in the regulatory complex such that troponin-I (TN-I) exposes a site on the actin molecule that is able to bind to the myosin ATPase located on the myosin head.
What is the role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction? Your answer: It binds to receptors and initiates a change in ion permeability that resutls in the contraction of the muscle cell. 3. Describe the process of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibers. Your answer: This is the entire process of the neuromuscular juntion leading to the end-plate potential.
