14.

Two polypeptide chains, two globular heads

This forms a myosin molecule

Heads contain ATP binding sites

contain 200 myosin molecules

a)

thick filament

b)

thin filament

15.

Globular proteins linked into chains

A band

b)

H zone

17.

What occurs at the neuromuscular junction?

synaptic cleft binds motor neurons to muscle tissue

b)

Motor neuron binds to muscle tissue

c)

Ca2+ causes vesicles to release TSH
