MATCH QUESTION

1 min • 1 pt

Match the following:

myosin

  • Calcium dependent molecule that “shifts” tropomyosin away from the myosin binding site during contraction.

Actin

  • a protein connected to troponin that prevents myosin from binding to acing when calcium is not present - covers the myosin binding site.

tropomyosin

  • a protein that makes up most of the thin filament. Binds with myosin head.

troponin

  • ATP dependent protein that binds to actin during cross-bridge formation and pulls the thin filament towards the M-line.

myosin binding site (on actin)

  • location on actin molecule that binds to the myosin head during cross-bridge formation.

Match the following

I-band

  • span that includes the thin filaments and z-lines that shortens during contraction and lengths during relaxation.

Z-line

  • “mid-line” of the sarcomere that anchors the thick filaments. During contraction the thin filaments move towards the m-line.

H-zone

  • spans thick filaments only that shrinks during contraction and lengthens during relaxation.

A-Band

  • spans the length of the thick filament (myosin). Does not change during contraction.

M-Line

  • the boundary of a sarcomere anchored to the thick filament by titin.

MATCH QUESTION

1 min • 1 pt

Match the following

Axon Knob

  • the space between the con terminal bud and the sarcolemma.

Exocytosis

  • the process of a vesicle fusing with a cell’s membrane to release chemical substances into the extracellular environment.

Acetylcholine

(Ach

  • the end of a nerve cell.

T-Tubules

  • an opening of the sarcolemma that allows for the electrical impulse to travel to the sarcoplasmic reticulum

Synaptic cleft

  • a neurotransmitter that opens protein channels on the

    sarcolemma.

4.

REORDER QUESTION

5 mins • 1 pt

Reorder the following steps (1-5) of a muscle contraction

Impulses reaches the SR and Ca+ channels open

Action Potential charge travels down muscle cell

Nerve Impulse reaches Neuromuscular Junction

Acetylcholine (ACH) Released by Motor Neuron

ACH binds to Muscle Receptor Sites

5.

REORDER QUESTION

5 mins • 1 pt

Reorder the following (6-10) of the muscle contraction

Ca+ ions diffuse from the SR and bind to troponin molecules

Cross-bridges form, linking actin and myosin

The muscle fiber shortens as contractions occurs

Actin filaments are pulled toward the center of the sarcomere by pulling of the cross-bridges, increasing the overlap of the thin and thick filaments

Tropomyosin molecules move and expose specific sites on actin where myosin heads can bind
