Responsiveness- is a property of all living cells- Muscle and nerve cells have developed this property to the highest degree. When stimulated by chemical signals‚ stretch‚ and other stimuli‚ muscle cells respond with electrical changes across the plasma membrane. b. Conductivity- Stimulation of a muscle cell produces

    Describe arm movement (flexion) when filaments are contracted. When the filament contracts‚ myosin walks along the actin filament moving the filament more each time. 5. Click on the Skeletal Muscle Cell. Muscle fibers contain bundles of myofibrils. Myofibrils are composed of smaller filaments. Identify each of these structures in the diagram.

    body such as it is used in muscle contraction‚ active transport and biosynthetic reactions. ATP is also used in muscle contraction which is obviously essential for numerous animals including human beings. ATP molecules attach to the myosin heads on actin filaments which causes them to become detached. Then the enzyme ATPase (which is activated by calcium ions) hydrolyses the ATP to ADP. The energy lost from the ATP is used to move the myosin heads back to their original positions. Without this mechanism

    and modulate adhesion through dynamic interaction with the actin cytoskeleton. Homophilic binding occurs at the N-terminus‚ the domains that lie farthest from the membrane. These terminal domains form a knob and a nearby pocket‚ the cadherin molecules protruding from the opposite cell membrane bind by insertion of the knob of one domain into the pocket of the other. Classical cadherins‚ in particular‚ interact indirectly‚ and link with actin in the cytosolic domain with the help of adapter proteins
