Question
Answer
sarcoplasmic reticulum   a reservoir of calcium ions; it has gated channels in its membranes that allow a flood of calcium ion into the cytosol where it activates muscle contraction.  
🗑
A T tubule and its associated two terminal cisternae constitute a   triad  
🗑
contractile proteins   Myosin and actin are called contractile proteins because they accomplish the shortening of the muscle fiber  
🗑
regulatory proteins   Tropomyosin and troponin are called regulatory proteins because they act like a switch to determine when the fiber can contract or not contract  
🗑
The action of these regulatory proteins depends on the availability of ___________, which bind to troponin.   calcium ions  
🗑
Dystrophin   an enormous protein located between the sarcolemma and the outermost myofilaments; it links actin filaments to a peripheral protein on the inner face of the sarcolemma.  
🗑
A band   Dark bands that consist of thick filaments lying side by side that partly overlap the thin filaments  
🗑
H band   the lighter area is the A band contains thick filaments only  
🗑
M line   dark band in center of an H band, where myosin bands connect  
🗑
I band   light band consists of thin filaments only but isbisected by a dark narrow Z disc (Z line)  
🗑
Z disc (Z line)   which provides anchorage for the thin filaments and elastic filaments.  
🗑
