Which structure actively pumps calcium ions out of the sarcoplasm to produce relaxation?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
What element is essential to muscle and nerve function?
Calcium
Is calcium nitrate salt?
calcium salts form the bulk of the inorganic material in bone. In addition, it's main function is to provide stability and structure.
Is calcium carbonate a buffer?
Yes. Calcium carbonate is a salt and is formed from calcium reacting with carbonic acid. The salts of weak acids function as buffers. Carbonic acid is a weak acid.
What is the function of the anhydrous calcium chloride?
To dry hydrogen gas.
What transports calcium out of the sarcoplasm?
Calcium is transported out of the sarcoplasm by means of special ion pumps.
What is the function of the sarcoplasm?
The sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm or intracellular fluid of a muscle cell. It has many functions in acting as a medium for various cellular reactions to take place which are necessary for muscle contraction and general cellular metabolism.
Which structure actively pumps calcium ions out of the sarcoplasm to produce relaxation?
sarcoplasmic reticulum
What does the onset of tetanus indicate about the amount of free calcium in the sarcoplasm?
At tetanus levels of released Calcium in the the intracellular compartment are at their highest level.
What occur during muscle relaxations?
Muscle tension declines, myosin releases thin filaments, and calcium levels in the sarcoplasm fall.
The cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber is called the?
Sarcoplasm
What events occurred during muscle relaxation?
Muscle tension declines, myosin releases thin filaments, and calcium levels in the sarcoplasm fall.
Is the concentration of calcium ion greater in the sarcoplasmic reticulum or sarcoplasm of a resting muscle?
The Ca2+ ion concentration of the sarcoplasmic reticulum will be greater in a resting muscle
What has the author Marie Beauregard written?
Marie Beauregard has written: 'Calcium uptake in trained and exhausted animals' -- subject(s): Calcium in the body, Exercise, Fatigue, Hamsters, Physiological aspects, Physiological aspects of Exercise, Physiology, Rats, Sarcoplasm
What are the specific terms for plasma membrane and cytoplasm of muscle cell?
Sarcolemma and sarcoplasm. (Sarco- is Greek for flesh)
What is the function of calcium salts?
The function of calcium salts is to provide hardness and strength and resist compression.
How are the nuclei distributed in the sarcoplasm?
