What chemicals are involved with contracting muscles?
Actin (thin myofilament), myosin (thick myofilament), calcium, and ATP (energy).
The protein that makes up the thin myofilament?
protein that makes up thin myofilament
What protein makes up the thick myofilament?
The thick myofilaments are formed from a protein called myosin.
The thick filaments of muscle fibers are composed of what?
Myosin
What are birds wings made of?
thin bones, muscles and feathers
Can muscle cells form cardiac and skeletal muscles?
Skeletal muscle cells are much bigger than cardiac muscle cells. Skeletal muscle fibres are up to 100 micrometers in diameter and several centimeters long while cardiac myocytes are about 15 micrometers in diameter and about 100 micrometers long.
What are the thin muscles found in your body?
What everyone calls the abs are thin muscles of the body.
What are the examples of thick and thin muscles?
muscles
Compare and contrast between skeletal muscles and smooth muscles?
Skeletal muscles look like long muscle fibers with a nuclei in each one, looks striated or striped. Compared to a smooth muscle that looks like sheets of thin cells each have a nucleus as well but looks smooth.
How does a muscle contract according to the sliding-filament model of muscles contraction?
When skeletal (or cardiac) muscle contracts, the thin and thick filaments in each sarcomereslide along each other without their shortening, thickening, or folding.
Are human muscles thin and soft?
no
Striations of skeletal muscle are produced by?
Skeletal Muscle (as well as Cardiac Muscle) have striations do to their sarcomere's anatomy. The sarcomere is the functional unit of the muscle and appears striated because the different thick and thin filaments present.
