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.
Excitation begins as a motor neuron transmits an action potential to the neuromuscular junction where it gets propagated along the muscle cell. This action potential is an electrical impulse that depolarizes the muscle cell membrane, the sarcolemma, which then releases ions in the sacroplasmic reticulum and transverse tubules.
