2.
Fill in the blanks to describe the steps of muscle contraction:
a. Nerve impulse travels down the _________ and reaches _________ reticulum and _____ is released
b. Ca++ binds to the protein _______
c. Ca++ binding to ________ cases a position change in ___________ away from the “_________” on the actin molecule and permits a strong binding state between _____________________ .
d. Muscular contraction occurs by multiple cycles of cross-bridge activity. Shortening will continue as long as _______ is available and ______ is free to bind to troponin.
