What else can I help you with?
How does the myosin protein facilitate the process of dragging endorphins within the body?
Myosin protein helps move endorphins by binding to them and using energy to pull them along filaments in the body's cells.
What protein makes up the thick filaments of myofibrils?
Myosin makes up the THICK filaments, and actin makes up the thin filaments of myofibrils.
What are the proteins are involved in muscle contraction?
Actin and myosin
What are the thick protein filaments in the cell made of?
The thick protein filaments in a cell are primarily made of a protein called myosin. Myosin filaments are involved in muscle contraction and various other cellular processes such as cell motility and cytokinesis.
Repeating units of actin and myosin filaments are called?
Repeating units of actin and myosin filaments are called sarcomeres. These are designed to control the contraction of muscles in the human body.
What is the function of myosin?
Myosin is responsible for actin-based muscular mobility/contraction.
Binding of the myosin heads sequentially prevents what?
myosin crossbridge binding
The thick filaments of muscle fibers are composed of what?
Myosin
What does the release of ADP and P from the myosin head cause?
The release of ADP and P from the myosin heads causes the myosin heads to change shape.
Name six proteins in the human body?
* 1 -hemoglobin ,2-insulin,3-myosin,4-cytochrome c
What substances causes the myosin head to change shape?
ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the main substance that causes the myosin head to change shape during muscle contraction. When ATP binds to the myosin head, it energizes the myosin molecule and allows it to detach from actin, resetting the myosin head for the next contraction cycle.
What are the two types of myofilaments?
The two filaments involved are myosin and actin. Actin: is the framework and slides over the myosin filament when the muscle is shortened. myosin: is a thick filament Also a sacromere: is made up of the actin and myosin. It is the functional unit of a muscle fibre and extends from z line to z line. A muscle contraction: is many sacromeres shortening ( actin sliding over myosin)
