Question 3

what happens to myosin and actin filaments when muscle is relaxed

Answer 3

they aren’t attached

Question 4

what happens to myosin and actin filaments when muscle contract

Answer 4

myosin and actin bind and pull together

Question 5

what does the nervous system do when the brain wants to send a message to a particular part of the body

Answer 5

nervous system sends signal to a muscle

Question 6

Answer 7

actin and myosin

Question 8
