Document Summary

Has troponin and tropomyosin proteins on it: myosin: protein that binds to atp. Head produces movement of actin -> contraction: calcium and atp are very important molecules involved in muscle cell contraction, all-or-none response, muscle fiber = one cell in a muscle, sarcomeres. Muscle contraction mechanism: neurons activate ach receptors on muscle cell -> na+ ions released into cell -> depolarization, depolarization -> activates v-gated ca2+ channels on sacroplasmic reticulum in. Muscle cell -> ca2+ released into cytoplasm: ca2+ binds to troponin on actin -> moves tropomyosin out of the way -> myosin. Heads can bind to actin: myosin head hydrolyzes atp -> actin filaments moved closer together -> sarcomere.
