During muscle contraction myosin cross bridges attach to which active sites?
actin filaments
What is the time in which cross bridges are active called?
contraction
What does myosin attach to?
During muscle contraction, myosin cross bridges attach to active sites of ACTIN FILAMENTS.
What force is measured by recording instrumentation during contraction?
active
Why does your body use more energy when active?
When we're active we're using more of our muscles including our skeletal, heart and breathing muscles. All of this muscular contraction takes energy in the form of ATP which we get by breaking down glucose.
Is breathing out in crocodiles active or passive?
Active - as it involves the contraction of muscles.
Is Quiet inspiration an active process?
No, it involves muscle contraction and hence it is active
What is contraction period?
Period of Contraction is the second stage of a muscle twitch, when cross bridges are active, from the onset to the peak of tension development, and the myogram tracing rises to a peak. This period lasts 10-100 ms. If the tension (pull) becomes great enough to overcome the resistance of a load, the muscle shortens
What is the name of the protein active in muscular contraction?
actin
What is Skeletal muscle tonus?
The state of activity or tension of a muscle beyond that related to its physical properties, that is, its active resistance to stretch. In skeletal muscle, tonus is dependent upon efferent innervation. A constant state of slight tension that serves to maintain the muscle in a state of readiness is known as tonus.
When is the skeletal system most active?
When you preforming any motion. Such as exercising.
What tissues have the greatest change in blood flow during exercise?
During exercise the trained body learns to redistribute blood from less active tissues like the digestive organs & kidneys to the heart & skeletal muscles.
