What is the function of tropomyosin troponin complex?

Answer choices: A- It provides energy for contraction B- It stimulates the thick and thin filaments to contract C- It displaces tropomyosin to expose the binding sites on actin D- It stops cross-bridge activity E- It degrades ACh released by sarcoplasmic reticulum


What blocks the myosin binding sites on the actin molecule preventing cross bridge formation?

The tropomyosin molecule blocks the active sites of the actin. Troponin is a molecule that is bound to the tropomyosin. Troponin needs CA+ (calcium ions) to bind to it in order to rotate the tropomyosin molecule and expose the actin molecules for the myosin heads to interact for muscle contraction.

What are the steps in sliding filament theory?

Before contraction:1) no nerve impulse to myoneural junction.2) Ca++ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum3) combining of actin and myosin is prevented by a tropomyosin-troponin complex that attatches to the actin.Contraction:1) an action potential (nerve impulse) travels along a neural axon to a myoneural junction (synapse)2) Acetylcholine (neurotransmitter) is released from the synaptic vesicles of the neuron.3) acetylcholine diffuses over into the sacrolemma and the t-tubules.4) Ca++mis released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.5) the Ca++ then binds to the actin degrading the tropomyosin-troponin complex to expose myosin attatchment sights6) the heads of the myosin myofilaments attatch to the exposed attatchment sights on actin filament7) ATP binds to the heads of the myosin filaments. breakdown of the ATP to ADP+p releases energy and causes a bending of myosin heads.8) another ATP binds to the myosin head causing it to release the actin filament then attatch again with the head unbent. again the ATP breaks down and the process continues.To relax:1) nerve impulse stops2) active transport returns Ca++ to the sarcoplasmic reticulum3) ATP's are reformed (ADP+P+energy=ATP)4) Tropomyosin-troponin complex reforms causing the myosin to release the actin5) when the filaments release each other they slide back to the resting position.
