380
cross-bridge cycle
1. start with myosin head in resting position (ATP attached to head)
2. break ATP molecule, myosin head is energized
3. myosin head binds to actin, forms cross bridge
4. myosin releases ADP and P making myosin pull on actin (power stroke)
5. new ATP molecule binds to myosin head and causes it to release the actin
381
tropomyosin and troponin function
calcium binds, inhibits cross-bridge formation
382
motor neuron function
