• Tendons: attach
muscle to bone
How muscles contract
• Ligaments: attach
Sliding filament theory bone to bone
Nervous impulse causes the release of Ca+ ions from sarcoplasmic reticulum.
MUSCLE
Ca+ binds to troponin mol., stimulating them to change shape, which causes
• Cardiac (heart):
troponin and tropomyosin proteins to change positions on the actin filaments.
involuntary,
Myosin binding sites are exposed and globular heads of myosin mol. bind, striated, branched,
coming cross-bridges. The heads pull and ATP hydrolysis occurs, providing uninucleate. Never
energy to break the bonds. Myosin heads move back and overall the sarcomere tires.
