|
Define myofibrils
|
A slender striated strand of muscle tissue. Myofibrils occur in groups of branching threads running parallel to the cellular long axis.
|
|
Myofibrils consist of two types of filament, name them
|
Myosin (thick filament)
Actin (thin filament) |
|
Actin contains two importand molecules that covers special binding sites, name them
|
Troponin & Tropomyosin
|
|
Myosin has a protruding head which is instrumental is what?
|
It is the binding head that attaches to actin.
(forming cross bridges) |
|
______ binds to a myosin head and forms ________
(energy) |
ATP
ATP+Pi |
|
When ATP binds to the myosin head it is converted to __________
|
ADP and Pi
|
|
__________ exposes the binding sties on the actin filaments.
|
Ca2+
|
|
Ca2+ binds to the _________ molecule causing ____________ to expose positions on the actin filament for the attachment of myosin heads.
|
Troponin
Tropomyosin |
|
__________ ________ between the myosin heads and actin filaments form.
|
Cross bridges
|
|
When the attachment sites on the ______ are exposed, the ___________ heads bind to the ______to form crossbridges
|
Actin
myosin actin |
|
________ and _____ are released and sliding motion of actin results.
|
ADP
Pi |
|
______ causes the cross bridge to unbind
|
ATP
|
