Q

Steps of Cross Bridge Cycle

A

1.) Low Ca
2.) Energized myosin head (ADP + Pi)
3.) Releases Ca from sarcoplasmic reticulum(Goes from 10^-7 M to 10^-5 M)
4.) Ca binds to troponin C
5.) Open actin binding cites
6.) Myosin binds to actin
7.) ADP + Pi come off of myosin and allows for myosin to move
8.) ATP binds to myosin and allows for myosin to release from actin
9.) ATP goes back to ADP + Pi which then in turn renergizes myosin head
