Homework Answers
Muscle cells contain 'myofibrils' which are made of thin filaments made of 'actin' and thick filaments are made of 'myosin' arranged as thousands of 'sarcomeres'. Myosin is a motor protein that moves towards the 'tropomyosin' end of actin. Calcium is stored in specialized endoplasmic reticulum called 'sarcoplasmic reticulum' and released in response to the depolarization of 'sarcolemma'. Calcium binds to 'Troponin c' which results in a confirmational change in Troponin uncovering the myosin binding sites on actin. Binding of ATP to myosin causes the 'binding' of myosin from actin. The hydrolysis of ATP to ADP and Pi causes a confirmational change in myosin, moving the head of myosin, ~5mm along the actin filament. The power stroke is initiated by the release of Pi and during the power stroke ADP also is released. At the end of the cycle, myosin is 'released from' actin.

Question 28 4 pts Once the action potential occurs in the sarcolemma, it spreads moving down the T-tubules. What next? What is the correct order of events which result in skeletal muscle contraction? (4 points) a. Once the muscle cell action potential is initiated then calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These calcium ions bind to troponin. With this binding, tropomyosin is pulled away from the active sites on actin. Myosin can bind with actin forming a cross...

8 Number the following events of skeletal muscle contraction in the proper order, with number 1 for the first event and number 6 for the last event. A power stroke occurs as myosin moves into its relaxed position and pulls the thin filament toward the M line. Calcium ions bind to troponin, which pulls tropomyosin away from actin. ATP breaks the actin-myosin attachment, after which ATP is hydrolyzed and myosin is recocked. The myosin head binds to an actin subunit....

Which of the following statements about skeletal muscle contraction is false? During muscle contraction, the Z discs move closer together as the myosin heads move toward the plus ends of the actin filaments. The changes in voltage across the plasma membrane that occur when a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system causes Ca2+ to flow into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggering a muscle contraction. An action potential in the muscle cell plasma membrane leads to voltage-gated calcium channels...

1. True -False. If a statement is True, place a T to the left of it. If a statement is False, place an F to the left of it. Thin filaments in smooth muscles attach to Z discs. The majority of ventricular filling occurs during the period of atrial contraction known as the period of rapid filling. Closure of the atrioventricular valves occurs at the end of diastole/beginning of systole. Tetanus in skeletal muscles is the result of increasing the...

Number these items in the order in which they occur in The Cross- bridge Cycle. #1 should be the event which happens right after membrane channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum open. Ca+2 binds to troponin. ATP binds to myosin heads. ATP is hydrolyzed. Cross bridges form. Myosin heads are energized. Cross-bridges detach. Power stroke occurs. Tropomyosin moves; actin binding sites are exposed.
