In addition to myosin what other protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction?
Myosin acts with Actin during muscle contraction
What other protein is involved in skeletal muscle contraction?
Myosin and actin
What is static muscle contraction?
Contraction in which opposing muscles contract against each other and prevent movement. Fixation action of a muscle in a static contraction is termed isometric, because it develops tension without changing length.
How can one study the contraction of an animal muscle in the laboratory?
One can study the contraction of an animal muscle in a laboratory setting with live subjects. Electrical shock is one way to provoke muscle contractions, as well as other stimuli.
What happens when thin filaments in a muscles fiber slide over the thick filament?
Contraction or relaxation of muscle fibre, due to similar effect in sarcomere
How does tonic contraction help maintain posture?
Tonic contraction holds the muscles in position. In other words, muscle tone maintains posture.
How the muscle of the heart different from other muscle of the heart?
The heart muscle is different from smooth and skeletal muscles because it does not require a nerve to cause it to contract. The heart has it's own built in conduction system that cause's the automatic contraction and relaxation that is required for circulation. Smooth and Skeletal muscle whether it uses voluntary or involuntary muscle contraction all have innervation to cause the contraction. Sara, RN
What other body systems interact with the muscle system?
All the systems of the body work together; there are no isolated systems.
What is contraction of muscles?
"Muscle contraction begins with an electrical nerve impulse that results in a release of Ca2+ ions into the myosin-actin structure. The calcium ions in turn produce conformational changes that result in the sliding of the threads through each other, shortening the myosin-actin structure. The collective effect of this process is the contraction of the muscle."
What kind of muscle makes your heart?
You call it as cardiac muscles. The muscle fibers contract rhythmically. The muscle fibers are attached to each other end to end. This facilitates the conduction of the impulse. The muscle fiber can be stimulated to give you contraction of the the same.
Different types of muscular contractions in rugby?
In rugby when you are pushing against each other( in a rugby scrum) your muscles contract but stay the same length and this is isometric contraction. Even though you are using a lot of force your muscles stay the same length.
Why muscle cells have more mitochondria than other kinds of eukaryotic cells have?
mitochondria supply the energy to the cells. Muscle cells require a lot of energy for contraction. Therefore muscle cells need a lot of mitochondria.
