Summary Introduction

To determine: The way in which the high metabolic rate of an insect’s flight muscles is an adaptive characteristic.

Introduction: Insects have wings that enable them to fly. Wings are derived from the exoskeleton of insects, and the muscles connected to them are called flight muscles. They are the only invertebrates that have the ability to fly, and this gives them a great survival advantage.

BIO168 Human Anatomy & Physiology I Practice Worksheet B Sequence of muscle contraction   Number the following statements in their proper sequence to describe the contraction mechanism in a skeletal muscle cell.     _____   A.  Acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction by the axonal terminal. _____   B.  The action potential, carried deep into the cell, causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum  to release calcium ions. ____   C.  The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens. _____   D.  Acetylcholine diffuses across the neuromuscular junction and binds to receptors  on the sarcolemma. ____   E. The calcium ion concentration at the myofilaments increases; the myofilaments slide past one another, and the cell shortens. _____  F.  Depolarization occurs, and the action potential is generated. _____   G.  As calcium is actively reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, its concentration  at the myofilaments decreases.
