D on the image would be
Myofibril
Sarcomere
Sarcolemma
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
The protein that covers the binding site on actin when a muscle is relaxed is called
Troponin
Nebulin
Tropomyosin
Myosin
This structure stores calcium in the muscle cell
Sarcolemma
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Sarcomere
Sarcocalcium storage
The A band contains which type of filaments
Only thick
Only thin
Both thick and thin
Which of the following occurs When ATP binds to the myosin head?
Myosin head detaches from actin
Myosin head forms cross-bridge
Myosin undergoes power stroke
Myosin releases calcium
Which of the following decreases during muscle contraction?
M line
A band
H zone
Z line
Ca++ will be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum when
the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction
ATP binds to sarcoplasmic reticulum
Acetylcholine enters the synaptic cleft
Action potential travels along T tubules
The power stroke will occur when
ATP binds to the myosin head
The myosin head hydrolyses ATP into ADP and Pi
The myosin head releases Pi
The myosin head releases ADP
What ion in the neuromuscular junction causes an action potential to travel along the sarcolemma?
Ca++
AChE
Na+
ATP
the functional contractile unit within a muscle fiber is called the
sarcomere
fascia
sarcoplasm
tendon
the cytoplasm of a muscle cell is called the
myosin
actin
fascia
sarcoplasm
Structure B is known as the thin filaments of the sarcomere, what is another name for the thin filaments?
myosin
actin
fascia
myofibril
