What is the smallest functional unit of skeletal
muscle? Explain why it is the smallest
functional unit and what happens to it during muscle
contraction.
Homework Answers
- The sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of skeletal muscles.
- it is the smallest functional unit because it is the smallest functional part of Myofibrils. Ans myofibrils itself is the smallest unit of skelatal muscle system.
- During muscle contraction within the sarcomere, myosin slides along actin to contract the muscle fiber in a process that requires ATP.

Question 50 1 pts What happens during a tetanic contraction in skeletal muscle? Twitches sum together, creating a strong contraction Action potentials sum together, leading to a strong contraction The muscle is stretched and reflexively contracts strongly Ca2+ influxes in SR, which leads to a strong contraction Question 49 1 pts In smooth muscle, phosphorylation of leads to contraction.
