- What model explains how muscles contract?
Place the following in the correct order
Actin and myosin form links
Acetylcholine crosses the gap at the neuromuscular junction
Calcium is released into the sarcoplasm
Myosin cross-bridges pull actin filaments inward.
- The A bands are [ light / dark ] whereas the | bands are [ light / dark ]
- The muscle fiber membrane is called the
The transport network of the muscle is called the
- You should be able to label the components of a muscle
a sarcomere
junction.
