1
Q

ATP is required to

A

release the myosin head after the power stroke.
energize the myosin for the next power stroke.
run Na/K and Na/Ca pumps

2
Q

the power stoke causes the ….. to shorten

A

sarcomere

3
Q

once the active site is revealed on the actin filament, a cross bridge forms with the head of the
…. filament

A

myosin

4
Q

the power stoke occurs when the head of the … filament flexes

A

myosin

5
Q

troponin and tropomyosin proteins are bound together with….to make the “thin” filament.

A

actin

6
Q

the cell membrane which contains receptors for ATP and channels for Na/K exchange.

A

sarcolemma

7
Q

stimulation of the cell causes calcium to be released from the …. where it will then bind with troponin/ tropomyosin.

A

sarcoplasmic reticulum

8
Q

actin is the … filament shaped like a “string pearls”

A

thin

9
Q

is shaped like a “golf club”

A

myosin

10
Q

ion exchange causes an electrical current to form

A

Na+

11
Q

transverse tubules carry

A

electricity

12
Q

sarcoplasmic reticulum stores …. in the sarcomere

A

calcium

13
Q

the “cross bridge” is a connection between

A

actin and myosin

14
Q

the energy from ATP is required to separate myosin from actin

A

false

15
Q

Ca++ combines with…. to cause “lift off” from the active site on actin

A

troponin

16
Q

…motor nerves are voluntary muscle nerves.

A

somatic

17
Q

more cross bridge formation results in a

…. contraction

A

stronger

18
Q

…muscle requires nerves to initiate contraction

A

skeletal

19
Q

cross bridges form when extra calcium is released into the muscle fiber

A

more
