- After death, a person no longer makes ATP, so calcium stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum diffuses down its concentration gradient into the muscle cytoplasm. This result is rigor mortis----an unbreakable state of muscle contraction that stiffens the body for a few days until muscles begin to decay. Explain why this contraction occurs.arrow_forwardWatch this video (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/micromacro) to learn more about macro- and microstructures of skeletal muscles. (a) What are the names of the junction points between sarcomeres? (b) What are the names of the subunits within the myofibrils that run the length of skeletal muscle fibers? (c) What is the “double strand of pearls� described in the video?

- The functions of tropomyosin in skeletal muscle include A. releasing calcium ions after initiation of contraction. B. generating ATP which it passes to the contractile mechanism. C. binding to myosin during contraction. D. acting as a relaxing protein at rest by covering up the sites where myosin binds to actin. E. sliding on actin to produce shortening.arrow_forwardWhat event causes a troponin-tropomyosin complex to regain its original shape in muscle relaxation? a. stimulation of ACh receptors b. diffusion of Na+ back into transverse tubules c. return of Ca2+ into the sarcoplasmic reticulum d. breaking of the bond with tropomyosinarrow_forwardEnergy produced when ATP is converted to ADP and phosphate is stored in A. Myosin Heads B. Troponin C. Tropomyosin D. Actin Myofilamentsarrow_forward
- The function of Ca2+ in skeletal muscle contraction is toa. cause an allosteric change in myosin so it detaches from actin.b. provide the energy necessary for the movement of the cross-bridge.c. expose the myosin-binding sites on the thin filaments.d. bind to tropomyosin.e. do a and c only.arrow_forwardFor relaxation to occur, A. calcium leaves the sarcoplasmic reticulum, and troponin binds calcium and blocks the binding sites on actin. B. calcium enters the myofibril, it detaches from myosin, and the binding sites on myosin become inactive. C. sarcoplasm calcium levels fall, calcium is removed from troponin, and tropomyosin blocks binding sites on actin. D. extracellular calcium levels fall, calcium is pumped into the myofibril, and tropomyosin slides away from actin.arrow_forwardWhich item is biggest? A. myosin head B. myofibril C. troponin D. sarcomerearrow_forward
- According to the sliding filament model, when muscles contract,a. sarcomeres shorten.b. myosin heads break down ATP.c. actin slides past myosin.d. the H zone disappears.e. All of these are correctarrow_forwardThe sliding filament mechanism describes the process during which: a. actin and myosin slide relative to each other b. sarcomeres slide relative to each other c. troponin and tropomyosin slide relative to each other d. muscle fibers slide past each otherarrow_forwardWhy is the latent period longer during an isotonic twitch of a skeletalmuscle fiber than it is during an isometric twitch?a. Excitation–contraction coupling is slower during an isotonic twitch.b. Action potentials propagate more slowly when the fiber is shortening,so extra time is required to activate the entire fiber.c. In addition to the time for excitation-contraction coupling, it takesextra time for enough cross-bridges to attach to make the tension in themuscle fiber greater than the load.d. Fatigue sets in much more quickly during isotonic contractions, andwhen muscles are fatigued the cross-bridges move much more slowly.e. The latent period is longer because isotonic twitches only occur in slow(type I) muscle fibers.arrow_forward
