The sarcomere is comprised of 1. [blank] (thick filaments) and 2.[blank] (thin filaments). You can measure the length of a sarcomere from 3.[blank] to 4.[blank]. The 5.[blank] surrounds the sarcomere and stores 6.[blank]. The two "chaperone" proteins, located on the 7.[blank], are 8.[blank] and 9.[blank]. 10.[blank] is released and attaches to 11.[blank]. This bonding moves the "chaperones" and exposes the 12.[blank]. Next, 13.[blank] is released and attaches to the 14.[blank] of the myosin filament. This bond allows movement of the head and is attached to 15.[blank]. The myosin pulls the actin toward the center of the 16.[blank]. One the myosin head has pulled the actin as far as it can, ATP attaches to the 17.[blank] of the 18.[blank]. Then calcium is released back into the 19.[blank]. This allows the muscle to relax.
