Q

Describe the 7 steps of muscle contraction?

A
  1. Ca2+ released from Sarcoplasmic reticulum.
  2. Ca2+ in sarcoplasm binds to troponin and exposes myosin binding sites under tropomyosin.
  3. myosin head binds to actin - ADP released.
  4. power stroke - myosin head changes conformation - filaments slide past one another.
    5.
