cardiovascular system Flashcards
Draw and label a sarcomere when relaxed and contracted
see diagrams.
Which band in sliding filament model gets smaller upon contraction?
I band
What is the name of the theory that muscle contraction is based on?
cross-bridge theory.
What 2 components make up an actin filament?
d
What triggers contraction?
Ca ion released from Sarcoplasmic reticulum into sarcoplasm.
Describe the 7 steps of muscle contraction?
- Ca2+ released from Sarcoplasmic reticulum.
- Ca2+ in sarcoplasm binds to troponin and exposes myosin binding sites under tropomyosin.
- myosin head binds to actin - ADP released.
- power stroke - myosin head changes conformation - filaments slide past one another.
