If a muscle were stretched to the point where thick and thin filaments no longer?
No active force can be generated.
Are there more thick filaments than thin filaments in smooth muscle?
There more thin filaments than thick filaments in smooth muscle. The ratio is of the thin to thick filaments in the smooth muscle is approximately 15:1.
The longer a muscle is stretched prior to contraction the more tension it will be able to generate.?
True!
Striations in striated muscle result from?
Striated muscle appears stripped due to the parallel alignment of many muscle fibers side to side with their sarcomeres lined up. The striations across each cell are caused by the overlap of the contractile proteins actin and myosin. Actin is the main protein of thin filaments and myosin is in the thick filaments. When actin and myosin are overlapped the darkest band appears( A band), when only actin is present a lighter band, is seen (I band).
What muscle cell filaments come closer together when the sarcomere shortens?
thin filaments
The filaments are arranged along the muscle fiber in units called?
Actin filaments
What muscle shapes the muscle?
thick and thin bands (lines) of filaments.
What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
What protein filament is usually always ready for muscle contraction?
The structure of muscle filaments - View diagram of the structure of muscle ... These two types of filament have different structures that enable then to work together. ... Thick filaments are formed from a protein called myosin which has important ...muscle filaments cause muscles to contract,
Which of the following become connected by myosin cross-bridges during muscle contraction A) thin filaments and thick filaments B) thin filaments and t-tubules C) thick filaments and titin filame?
Interactions between actin and myosin filaments of the sarcomere are responsible for muscle contractions. The I bands contain only thin (actin) filaments, whereas the A bands contain thick (myosin) filaments.
What chemical triggers sliding of muscle filaments?
ATP
What are actin and myosin and are they organized iin a muscle?
Thick filaments are made of the protein myosin and thin filaments are made of the protein actin. Myosin and actin filaments are arranged to form and overlapping pattern which gives muscle tissue its striated appearance.
