Microfilaments

24
Q

Thick filament is composed of protein?

25
Thin filament is composed of protein?

Overlap
27
Light bands occur where ______ is overlapped?
Thin
28
Skeletal muscle attraction occurs when thin slides over thick, thus?

31
Filament model of muscle contraction shows calcium ions bind to myosin & actin, which assist in binding?
