What is the basic contractile unit for muscles?
fascicle
antagonist
fixator
sarcomere
The fixed attachment point of a muscle at the bone is the
origin
insertion
The point of attachment in a muscle where more movement occurs is the
origin
insertion
At this location, a motor neuron is able to transmit a signal to the muscle fiber, causing muscle contraction.
origin
fascicle
neuromuscular junction
insertion

rotation
adduction
abduction

Thick filaments are in a myofibril are
ATPase

Actin
Myosin
Thin filaments in a myofibril are
Sarcomeres
Sarcoplasm
Actin
Myosin
Calcium:
causes ATP binding to actin
increases the action potential along the sarcolemma
binds to proteins on myosin
triggers the binding of myosin to actin
