which type of muscle surrounds the bones
skeletal muscle
tendons connect _________ to ____________
muscle to bone
ligaments connect ____________ to ____________
bones to bones
shortening of the sarcomeres leads to muscle
contracting
lengthening of the sarcomeres leads to muscle
extension
what are the 4 major steps of muscle contraction?
- The brain sends a signal to the muscle
- acetylcholine talks to the muscle to send sodium to enter the muscle.
- sodium ions change the charge of the muscle cell creating action potential releasing calcium
- calcium bonds with troponin and tropomyosin and t & t moves so actin and myosin bond –> muscle contracts
chemicals that carry signals from nerve cells to muscle cells or other never cells.
acetylcholine. neuron transmitter??
