Myomesin and C-protein
Holds thick filaments to alpha-actinin ensuring that thick filaments remain centered.
Titin
Links myofibrils to laminin/attatches them to sarcolemma
Dystrophin
Links myfibrils together
Desmin; z-lines "in register"

A skeletal muscle such as biceps is a structural and functional unit composed of all four primary tissues and, as such , is an ________
organ
location of nuclei in smooth muscle
elongated, central nucleus
what is the calcium binding protein in smooth muscle?
calmodulin; activates myosin light-chain kinase
what type of smooth muscle is found in the uterus?
myometrium
Vascular smooth muscle cells are found in the tunica media of all vessels except what?
capillaries and postcapillary venules
Smooth muscle is innervated by what functional component?
GVE
Describe the innervation of smooth muscle?
The post-ganlionic nerve fibers are unmyelinated and terminate as a series of varicosed branches. At the site at which transmission is to occur, the Schwann cell is retracted and the axon lies within a shallow groove on the surface of the smooth muscle cell. Part of the axon thus is naked, permitting free diffusion of the transmitter substance from the axon to the muscle cell
