MSK Physiology Flashcards
What filaments of the skeletal muscle contain myosin?
Thick filaments
What filaments of the skeletal muscle contain actin, Troponin, Tropomyosin?
Thin filaments
What are the 3 sites on Troponin?
Troponin C, T, and I
Which site binds to Calcium ions?
Troponin C
Which site binds to tropomyosin and prevents cross-bridge formation?
Troponin T
Which site binds to actin and inhibits the interaction between actin and myosin?
Troponin I
In relation to the sarcomere, which band is the dark band. that has both actin and myosin?
A band
In relation to the sarcomere, which band only has thick filaments?
H Band
In relation to the sarcomere, which band is the light band and only has thin filaments?
I band
In relation to the sarcomere, which line bisects the H bands and serves as the attachment of myosin filaments?
M line
Which band always remains the same length?
A band
What does calcium bind to during a Smooth muscle contraction?
Calmodulin
What motor reflex is a reflex from a painful stimulus transmitted along A-delta and C fibers in the dorsal root of the spinal nerve to an interneuron, to an alpha motor neuron stimulating a flexor muscle to withdraw the limb from the painful stimulus?
Flexor Withdrawal reflex
