Sliding filament theory and all or nothing
Across
- 4. The minimum stimulus strength needed to trigger contraction
- 7. The chemical energy molecule that is needed for Myosin to detach from the Actin
- 8. The action of a muscle when its fibres generate tension and shorten
- 11. The type of muscle contraction where tension develops without a change in muscle length.
- 12. The protein that forms the thick filament in the sarcomere
- 14. The enzyme responsible for hyrolyzing an ATP molecule
- 15. The ion that binds to Troponin to allow binding to occur
- 16. The point where the Myosin head binds to the Actin
- 17. The phase of the cycle where the Myosin pulls on the Actin
Down
- 1. The type of muscle contraction where force is produced when the muscle lengthens
- 2. The protein that lies across the Actin filaments, blocking the binding sites
- 3. The group of muscle fibres inervated by the same motor neuron
- 5. The protein that calcium binds to in order to allow contraction
- 6. The principle that a muscle fibre will either contract fully or not at all
- 9. The type of muscle contraction where force is produced when the muscle shortens
- 10. The protein that forms the thin filament in the sarcomere
- 13. The contractile unit of the muscle fibre
