Muscle Tissues and Sliding Filament Model

What is the primary focus of the video?

• Exercises for muscle strength

• Diet for muscle growth

• Muscle tissue and contraction mechanisms

• Names of different muscles

Which type of muscle tissue is found in the heart?

• Cardiac muscle

• Smooth muscle

• Voluntary muscle

• Skeletal muscle

What is a unique feature of skeletal muscle tissue?

• It has intercalated discs

• It is multinucleated

• It is spindle-shaped

• It is involuntary

How are skeletal muscles often named?

• By their function

• By their color

• By their size

• By their location or shape

What is the role of actin in muscle contraction?

• Releases calcium ions

• Forms thin filaments

• Blocks myosin-binding sites

• Forms thick filaments

What happens when ATP binds to the myosin head?

• Calcium is released

• The myosin head detaches from actin

• The myosin head binds to actin

• The muscle relaxes

What triggers the release of calcium ions in muscle contraction?

• The presence of ATP

• The binding of myosin to actin

• The movement of tropomyosin

• Stimulation by a neuron
