Q

How is Vitamin B12 absorbed in the body?

A

By attaching to Intrinsic Factor secreted by the parietal cells in the stomach, which is delivered to the terminal ileum, then gets bound to Cubilin and transported into enteroctyes (I know this answer is way to long)

Q

What is the calcium-binding protein in skeletal and cardiac muscle?

A

Troponin

41
Q

What determines if a muscle is slow or fast twitch?

A

The speed at which the sarcoplasmic reticulum pumps the Ca++ back in using the Calcium ATPase mechanism during relaxation of a muscle.

42
Q

What is an isometric contraction?

A

muscle fibers do not change length

43
Q

What is an isotonic contraction?

A

Load remains the same (ex. keeping elbow flexed with a weight in hand)
