16
Q

separates one sarcomere from the next and a network of protein fibers that forms a stationary anchor for actin myofilaments to attach

17
Q
  • dark
  • consists of an overlap between actin and myosin myofilaments
  • extends length of myosin myofilaments
  • stays same size during contraction
18
Q
  • Light
  • consists of actin myofilaments only
  • decrease in size during contraction
  • spans each Z disk and ends at myosin myofilaments
19
Q
  • smaller, lighter staining regioon in the center of each A band
  • contains only myosin myofilaments
20
Q

consists of fine protein filaments that anchor the myosin myofilaments in place

21
Q
  • thin filaments
  • consists of actin, troponin, and tropomyosin
22
Q

binding sites for calcium ions

23
Q

block myosin myofilament binding sites on actin myofilament in an unstimulated muscle

A

Tropomyosin

24
Q

thick filaments and resembles bundles of tiny golf clubs

25
Q

highly specialized, electrically excitable cells that are polarized which creates an electrical charge difference across the cell membrane

A

Muscle Fibers
