A

cm to meters long

Contains sarcomeres which is the stripes that contains actin and myosin for contraction

15
Q

What is connected to the actin

A

Myosin that is in the middle

Known as the thick filament

Double headed, plus ended myosin

Heads interact with actin

16
Q

Titins

A

Connects thick filaments to z discs like a spring

Our largest protein

17
Q

Tropomyosins

A

Conceal the myosin-binding sites of actin filaments

18
Q

Troponin complexes

A

Regulate tropomyosin

19
Q

Each thin filament is made of

A

One actin filament

Tropomyosin

Troponin complexes

20
Q

Contraction

Resting muscle cell

A

Tropomyosin are in the way

21
Q

Contraction

Thin filament activation

A

Ca++ increases by being released from the ER

Troponins activated

Tropomyosin moved, exposing actin filament and allowing for thick filament to be activated

22
Q

Thick filament activation

Contraction

A

Myosin heads take turns walking along actin

23
Q

Sarcomere contraction

A

Myosin pull Z discs together

24
Q

Sarcomere movement leads to the whole cell

A

Contracting

25
Q

Light muscle bands

A

Z-discs

26
Q

Dark muscle bands

A

Thick filaments

27
Q

AS the sarcomeres contract

A

The light bands shrink

28
Q

Increase calcium means

A

All sarcomeres in cell contract

29
Q

Decrease calcium means

A

All the sarcomeres have contracted
