In the muscle fiber, calcium is stored in the... sarcoplasmic reticulum
Calcium binds to the protein ______ inside the thin filaments. troponin
When the troponin binds to calcium it causes the _______ to move aside, allowing it access to myosin binding sites on the ______ molecules. tropomyosin, actin

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:
