change which moves tropinin-I away from actin/tropomyosin. Tropomyosin then moves to clear the myosin binding site on the actin thus allowing cross bridge attachment. Hence‚ contraction is critically dependent on intracellular calcium concentrations. The process of cross-bridges formation and the shortening of the individual cardiomyocyte require ATP (phosphate group). The result of the shortening is contraction when the myosin heads swivel along the actin filaments of the cardiomyocytes. The greater

Activity 1 – The Muscle Twitch and Latent 1) Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber‚ motor unit‚ skeletal muscle twitch‚ electrical stimulus‚ and latent period. Skeletal Muscle Fiber: Skeletal muscle cells that are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells that produce muscle tension. These fibers are what move our bodies and generate muscle tension/force that enables us to have manual dexterity. Motor unit: consists of one motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers that

Involuntary movement‚ found only in heart. Muscle Contraction Skeletal Muscle Muscle fibers Myofibrils Filaments Two types of filaments: - Thick: contain protein called myosin - Thin: contain protein called actin The alternation of myosin and actin form structures called striations. The energy for muscle contraction is supplied by ATP. Controlling Muscle Contraction Our muscle contractions are controlled by our nervous system. The nerve impulses in our brain signal and regulate

Chapter 9 & 10 Short Answer and Critical Thinking CHAPTER 9 Short answer 15. Name and describe the four functional abilities of muscle that are the basis for muscle response. Contractibility- is the ability to shorten forcibly when adequately stimulated. This ability sets muscle apart from other tissue types. Extensibility- is the ability to extend or stretch. Muscle cells shorten when contracting‚ but they can stretch even beyond their resting length‚ when relaxed. Elasticity-

Through this experiment‚ Egeria densa was observed using a microscope. The task was to observe and identify the different types of cell‚ cytoplasmic streaming‚ and plasmolysis of Egeria densa. First‚ the microscope was examined and investigated to master the use of the equipment. A microscope slide grid which was on the slide glass was required to be seen clearly using 4x‚ 10x and 30x. During the latter part of the experiment‚ the Egeria densa was observed using the microscope to understand the

electrical excitation to muscle fiber contraction by binding to troponin. Troponin is a globular protein complex which is attached to the actin filament and tropomyosin. The tropomyosin will be changed its shape and pulled away from the myosin-binding sites on the actin filament when more troponins present. This permits myosin to form cross bridges with actin filaments of the sarcomere and produce the movement associated with the contraction. As cross bridges formed increase‚ the contraction becomes

As only six studies have been reported from India‚ the larger population of the country remains uncovered. According to what has been reported till date‚ b3a2 fusion transcript is most prevalent among adults and b2a2 is found to be more prevalent among children. Thus aim of this study was to find‚ that in what proportion BCR-ABL fusion transcript are present in population studied and how it is affecting prognosis of CML patients. For this study 46 patient samples were collected‚ out of which result
