A

myosin

18
Q

What are the thin filaments in sarcomeres?

A

actin, troponin, tropomyosin

19
Q

What is the M line in a sarcomere?

A

The middle line of a sarcomere

20
Q

What is the Z line in a sarcomere?

A

Z is at the end,

Z is the ends of the sarcomere

21
Q

What is the H band in a sarcomere?

A

The thick (myosin) band

H is a thick letter

22
Q

What is the I band in a sarcomere?

What is the sarcoplasmic reticulum?

A

The ca++ storage unit

26
Q

What are the transverse tubules of a myocyte?

A

Carry action potentials from the sarcolemma to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

27
Q

what is the difference between a simple twitch and summation?

A

simple twitch is single cell, summation is repeated stimulus

28
Q

What is tetanus in muscle contraction?

A

constant smooth muscle contraction

29
Q
