    Introduction Muscle tissue is composed of as many as 19 different proteins; the largest components are myosin and actin. All muscle tissue contains actin and myosin; these form the fibers that slide past each other as muscles contract and relax.  There are also a number of other proteins found in muscle tissue; these other proteins regulate movement‚ bundle and anchor actin and myosin along with others functions. As species have evolved‚ they have diverged in the quantities and types of these

    3: The entire cytoplasm moves in one side: “streaming”‚ what happens is that very close to the membrane‚ the chloroplast are not moving and close to it are the actin filaments that are not moving. Then everything else is on the Myosin V which is moving since Myosin V moves around. Evidence: we have EM data. Animated movie: how does actin filaments involve itself in the movement of cells? Slide 5: When cells want to move‚ they need to polarize. A leading edge (the direction they’re moving)‚

    the body that is tensive. It may have a process of tensions that may be developed with muscle tissues. Contraction can be a meaning of shortening or long. Muscle Contraction can also produce a muscle cell that is for movement of the body. Myosin and Actin is an interaction protein to Muscle Contraction‚ it can be changed by shape but not by volume. Skeletal Muscle contraction is produce by heat. The muscles may receive signal from the brain. Once it receives signal it expands or contracts. Skeleton

    fascicles and finally to the muscle fiber ( cell) inside of the muscle fibers of the myofibril‚ inside of that is the those and thin filements. The thin filament is called actin and the thick filament called myosin. The actin is connected  to the z line.the actin and myosin stick up in between each other‚ the myosin has two separate actin filaments on the ends of it‚ this whole little section is called sarcomeres. in the muscle fiber these sections of  sarcomere pair up next to each other so that the connection

    from it at an angle” (Saladin.408). Thin filaments have three main components called actin‚ tropomyosin‚ and troponin. For a muscle to contract the myosin will bind with actin. The tropomyosin and troponin work together to cover the actin binding site‚ preventing the contraction. When the body wants the muscles to contract the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium to the troponin‚ which then uncovers the actin binding sites. This connection will only break when ATP is present to release it.
