Sliding Filament Quiz

Question 1

Myosin

Answer 1

Thick Filaments that contain ATPase, which split ATP to generate contraction

Question 2

Actin

Answer 2

Thin Filament anchored to the Z line

Question 3

Polarization

Answer 3

state of the resting muscle

Question 4

Ach

Answer 4

The neurotransmitter that is released at the neuromuscular junction

Question 5

Na+

Answer 5

Ions that rush into the muscle cell

Initiation of depolarization since there is no longer a positive charge

Question 6

Depolarization

Answer 6

Generates an electrical current Action potential

Question 7

The signal sweeps across

Answer 7

The Sarcolema

Question 8

While this signal is transmitted across the muscle fibers, ACh is broken down by sarcolemma enzymes. This prevents continued:
