causes tropomysin to :
allowing binding of :

A

Troponin ,
Move away from active site ,
Myosin head to actin active sites forming Cross bridges.

23
Q

Excitation contraction coupling
Bending of myosin head causes sliding of actin over myosin, leading to :

A

Muscle shortening

24
Q

Excitation contraction coupling
Energy generated from :
