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
