A

To the long axis of the myofibril

36
Q

What are the “light” zones?

A

H zone and I band

37
Q

Troponins 3 subunits

A

1, C (calcium) and T (tropomyosin)

38
Q

What lays along actin like a cord? What does it do?

A

Tropomyosin
-inhibits actin=myosin interaction

39
Q

What is embedded at regular intervals along actin? What does it do?

A

Troponin
-interacts and binds with Ca2+
-removes inhibition

40
Q

Globular Heads

A

-actin binding site
-ATP binding site
-heavy and light chains

41
Q

How many Heads does myosin have

A

2
-each has 1 “heavy chain”

42
Q

Myosin is composed of:

A

Heavy chains (MHC) and Light Chains (MLC)
-type of heavy chain determines the ATPase activity
