What prevents actin myofilaments from sliding backward when a myosin head releases?
During contraction, there are always some myosin heads attached to the actin myofilament when other myosin heads are detaching.
Does a muscle contract during cross bridging?
Yes, it does. During a contraction, myosin heads interact with actin filaments to form cross-bridges. The myosin head pivots, producing motion. Thick filaments contain titin strands that recoil after stretching.
What are myosin heads?
Cross-bridge
What best describes the events of excitation in excitation-contraction coupling?
cross bridge formation "Excitation-contraction coupling" connects muscle fiber excitation to the muscle fiber contraction (cross bridge formation). During contraction, myosin heads form cross bridges many times-with each cross bridge generating a small amount of tension in the muscle fiber.

What is cross flow head?
4 valve sohc/dohc heads and hemi heads are both cross flow heads. It is because the intake valve is across from the exhaust veruses inline as with regular 2 valve wedge heads.
What protein with heads that attach in cross bridging?
myosin
What is a temporary connection between actin and myosin heads?
Cross bridge
What is the process of excitation contraction coupling?
cross bridge formation "Excitation-contraction coupling" connects muscle fiber excitation to the muscle fiber contraction (cross bridge formation). During contraction, myosin heads form cross bridges many times-with each cross bridge generating a small amount of tension in the muscle fiber.
Do rattlesnakes cross breed with copper heads?
No, rattlesnakes do not interbreed with copperheads.
Why did Mayans tie things to infants heads?
To help encourage there eyes to cross.
Where do myosin cross bridges attach during muscle contraction?
Myosin functions as an ATPase utilizing ATP to produce a molecular conformational change of part of the myosin and produces movement. Movement of the filaments over each other happens when the globular heads protruding from myosin filaments attach and interact with actin filaments to form crossbridges. The myosin heads tilt and drag along the actin filament a small distance (10-12 nm). The heads then release the actin filament and adopt their original conformation.
