What else can I help you with?
Does the arrangement of myofilaments produces the striation of a skeletal muscle cell?
Yes.
What changes shape when myofilaments contract?
The sarcomere, which is the basic contractile unit of a muscle, shortens in length when myofilaments contract. The myosin heads pull on the actin filaments, causing them to slide past each other and overlapping more, resulting in muscle contraction.
What type of cell is a heart cell?
The heart cells are muscle, the type called involuntary muscle.
What is a cell membrane of a muscle fiber called?
what is the plasma membrane of the muscle cell
What site where the motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the?
The site where a motor neuron and muscle cell meet is called the neuromuscular junction. This is where the motor neuron releases neurotransmitters that signal the muscle cell to contract.
Does the arrangement of myofilaments produces the striation of a skeletal muscle cell?
Yes.
What are the muscle structures from largest to smallest?
The organization of a skeletal muscle from smallest to largest is as follows: myofilaments > myofibrils > muscle fiber > fascicle > muscle
What contains a sarcolemma sarcoplasm myofilaments and myofibrils?
A muscle fiber contains a sarcolemma, sarcoplasm, myofilaments, and myofibrils. The sarcolemma is the cell membrane that surrounds the muscle fiber, while the sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of the muscle cell, containing various organelles and substrates for energy production. Myofilaments, which are composed of actin and myosin, are organized into myofibrils that facilitate muscle contraction. Together, these components enable the muscle fiber to function effectively during contraction and relaxation.
What does muscles contain?
Muscle fibres contain two myofilaments called actin and myosin
What produces the striations of a skeletal muscle cell?
Skeletal muscle is one of the three types of muscle and it is a structure of a striated muscle tissue. The muscle is made up of myocytes or muscle fibers.
What is the smallest myfibril myofilament muscle fiber or fascicles?
The smallest unit among myofibrils, myofilaments, muscle fibers, and fascicles is the myofilament. Myofilaments are the microscopic protein filaments (actin and myosin) within myofibrils that are responsible for muscle contraction. Myofibrils are bundles of myofilaments, muscle fibers are composed of many myofibrils, and fascicles are groups of muscle fibers.
What is the correct sequencing of the microstructure of skeletal muscle?
muscle fiber, myofibril, myofilaments, sarcomere
Is a bundle of parallel myofilaments within a muscle fiber?
Yes, a bundle of parallel myofilaments within a muscle fiber is known as a myofibril. Myofibrils are composed of repeating units called sarcomeres, which contain the contractile proteins actin and myosin. These structures are essential for muscle contraction, as they slide past one another to shorten the muscle fiber during contraction.
What is microscopic threadlike structures found in skeletal muscle fibers?
myofilaments
What are the thin fibers responsible for muscle contraction?
The thin myofilaments are actin. They slide between the thick filaments called myosin.
Striations of skeletal muscle are produced by?
Skeletal Muscle (as well as Cardiac Muscle) have striations do to their sarcomere's anatomy. The sarcomere is the functional unit of the muscle and appears striated because the different thick and thin filaments present.
What step is this in the contraction of a muscle cell As calcium is actively reabsorbed into the sarcoplasmic reticulum its concentration at the myofilaments decreases?
I have no idea i was just really boerd lol hope you find the real answer
