What is the role of calcium in the cross bridge cycle?Calcium binds to troponin, altering its shape What role does tropomyosin play in the cross bridge cycle?The displacement of tropomyosin exposes the active sites of actin, allowing cross bridges to form How does troponin facilitate cross bridge formation?Troponin controls the position of tropomyosin on the thin filament, enabling myosin heads to bind to the active sites on actin What, specifically, is a cross bridge?Myosin binding to a...

You have found that an increase in pressure leads to an increase in flow, and that a decrease in resistance (due to a larger diameter pipe) leads to an increase in flow. Based on what you have found, which of the following equations is correct?Flow = pressure / resistance Which of the factors below will decrease the rate of fluid flow through a tube, assuming all other factors are constant?Decreased tube radius Decreased pressure gradient During acute homeostatic maintenance of blood f...

Ventilation is also known as breathing. The lower respiratory tract includes all of the bronchial branches, the lungs, and the trachea The sites of gas exchange within the lungs are alveoli. The lungs are surrounded by ________ membranes. pleural Type II alveolar cells secrete a chemical known as surfactant. Air entering the body is filtered, warmed, and humidified by the parts of the upper and lower respiratory tract.
