Sliding Filament T
Sliding Filament Theory for Anatomy & Physiology 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 1) Contraction Cycle Begins | 1) ATP energizes a myosin head & is converted into ADP+P |
| 2) Active-Site Exposed, Cross-Bridge Formation | 2)Calcium ions bond to troponin, removing the blocking action of tropomyosin & exposing the active site. The myosin head attaches to the actin filaments, creating a cross-bridge |
| 3) Myosin Head Pivots (Power Stroke) | 3) Energy stored in the myosin head is used to pull the actin filaments towards the M-line. ADP+P are released |
| 4) Detachment | 4) As new ATP attaches to the myosin head, the cross bridge detaches |
| 5) Myosin Resets (Return Stroke) | 5) Freed myosin head splits into ADP & P. Released energy restocks myosin head to prepare for the next stroke |
| In which step does calcium ions bond to troponin? | In the 2nd step, calcium ions bond to troponin |
| In which step does freed myosin head split into ADP & P? | In the 5th step, freed myosin head split into ADP & P |
| In which step does the cross bridge detach as new ATP attaches to the myosin head? | In the 4th step, the cross bridge detach as new ATP attaches to the myosin head |
| In which step does ATP energize a myosin head & converted into ADP+P? | In the 1st step, ATP energizes a myosin head & is converted into ADP+P |
| In which step does released energy restocks myosin head to prepare for the next stroke? | In the 4th step, released energy restocks myosin head to prepare for the next stroke |
| In which step is energy stored in the myosin head is used to pull actin filaments towards the M-line? | In the 3rd step, energy stored in the myosin head is used to pull actin filaments towards the M-line |
