    lab. Skeletal muscle is composed of two filaments called actin and myosin‚ which run parallel to each other. Actin has a protein that run along it called tropomyosin‚ that prevents actin from binding to it‚ unless calcium is bound to a part of the tropomyosin called troponin. Sets of actin and myosin filaments are divided into individual units called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are what gives skeletal muscle tissue its striations. Bundles of actin and myosin filaments are called myofibrils‚ and myofibrils

    HOW TO GAIN MUSCLES. Introduction. The assignment topic touches on a very important part of the human body a muscle. This is a soft tissue found on most animals and is made of cells that contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another‚ producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. It function to produce force there location on the body or according to the functions and roles they play. They are the cardiac muscles (muscles covering the

    Describe all the parts of a sarcomere and their respective functions. The parts of a sarcomere can be detailed once the sarcomere is explained. Myofibrils are cylindrical structures that carry out contraction of the muscle. These muscle structures are composed of individual cylindrical subunits called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres are myofilaments that are contractile‚ repetitious functional units in muscle (Martini & Nath‚ 2009‚ p. 298). These myofilaments are the smallest operational/functional unit

    I am a parasitic bacteria that has evolved sharp edges around it that can cut up proteins‚ specifically titin filaments found in the sarcomere. I would infect the sarcomeres through the T-tubules found on the sarcolemma and start detecting for titin filaments. As it is attached to the Z Disc and the myosin heads‚ I would start making my way there to destroy them. Once I have found the titin filaments‚ I would bind to them and thus cut up the protein. Titin filaments are important as they hold the

    microtubule‚ which is made of proteins located in cytoskeleton‚ is one of three filaments that is long‚ hollow stiff tube and responsible for intracellular transport. This transport system is driven by kinesin and dynein in microtubules and myosin in actin filaments‚ which are called motor proteins. (Gross‚ Tuma‚ Deacon‚ Serpinskaya‚ Reilein‚ & Gelfand‚ 2002‚ p. 855). To understand how those movements along microtubules can make the rapid colour change possible‚ it is necessary first to find out how

    organization of the cytoskeletal proteins. The contraction is the shortening of a sarcomere‚ which is caused by the thick myosin filaments sliding past the thin actin filaments. The actual filaments aren’t getting shorter just sliding past each other. The contraction is caused by physical interaction of the myosin heads and the adjacent actin filaments‚ which is governed by regulatory proteins‚ tropomyosin and troponin. Tropomyosin is part of the thin filament and troponin is a Ca++ binding protein
