thick filaments only

23
Q

Z line consists of ___

A

protein actinis

24
Q

Z line function

A

interconnect thin filaments of adjacent sarcomeres

25
Q

Titin location

A

extends from thick filaments to Z line

26

responsible for muscle contraction

28
Q

sarcoplasmic reticulum function

A

helps transmit action potential to myofibril

29
Q

terminal cisternae

A

SR chambers attached to T tubule

30
Q

Cisternae function

A

concentrate Ca2+ and release Ca2+ into sarcomeres

31
Q

tropomyosin function

A

prevents actin-myosin interaction

32
Q

troponin function

A

binds tropomyosin to G-actin

33
Q

F-actin function

A

binds to myosin

34
Q

F-actin

A

twisted rows of G-actin

35
Q

origin

A

stationary or less moveable attachment

36
Q

insertion

A

moveable attachment

37
Q

agonist

A

produces a particular movement

38
Q

fixator

A

immobilizes origin of an agonist so tension is exerted at the insertion

39
Q

synergist

A

reduces unnecessary movement

40

CNS

46
Q

Efferent division

A

peripheral tissues

47
