What are the proteins are involved in muscle contraction?
Actin and myosin
How could you detect if the muscle contracted?
ya muscles contracted due to actin and myocin protein comtracted
What is Myocin?
A fibrous protein that forms (together with actin) the contractile filaments of muscle cells and is also involved in motion in other types of cells.
How does the muscle system work?
molecules called actin and myocin lie next to each other inside muscle cells. when triggered (usually by calcium ions) they shift electron bonds, thus shortening the length of the cell [max about 1/3 shorter] Work is done (using ATP) to restore the cell to its nornal length.
What are the names of protein filaments in a muscle fiber?
Actin Filaments
What are two major proteins in the sarcomere?
The two main filaments composing the sarcomere are action and myocin.
What are actin fibers?
Actin is a contractile protein fibers present in muscles.It occurs in two forms a.monomeric G actin b. polymeric F ACTIN.
When was actin discovered?
Actin was discovered by Straub in 1942.
What is the thin filament of the myocardial cell?
Actin
What shape is the protein actin?
Actin is a globular molecule
What is the next step in muscle contraction after the actin changes shape?
Actin Changes ShapeApexMyosin binds to ActinAPEX
What are Analogies for microfillament?
Assuming you meant microfilament, it is mostly comprised of linear polymers of actin, or actin filaments. Some use "actin filament" (or sometimes just "actin") and "microfilament" interchangably.
