Q

astrocytes

Q

oligodendrocytes

A

-will myelinate many neurons
-insulating fat layer made out of cell membrane of the oligondendrocytes
-sends out a process that allows it to stick to the plasma membrane of the axon but it doesn’t stop, it then continues to send an extension around the cell
-the leading edge insinuated itself under the first layer then breaks the bonds between the two membranes
and then it will go around and around in circles and after a while it will go back around to the oligondendrocytes
-used to send out process to generate an insulating layer
-schwann cells do pretty much the same thing

41
Q

an action potential is generated in the muscle cell causing the BLANK plug to be removed from the BLANK located on the BLANK

A

DHP plug
RYR
sarcoplasmic reticulum

42
Q

calcium is released into the sarcoplasm and binds to BLANK which causes BLANK to uncover myosin binding sites on actin filaments

A

tropomyosin

43
Q

Actin and myosin bind when ATP is BLANK

A

hydrolyzed (cleaved)

44
Q

The BLANK occurs when ADP + Pi leave

A
