What is the smallest functional unit of skeletal
muscle? Explain why it is the smallest
functional unit and what happens to it during muscle
contraction.
Homework Answers
- The sarcomere is the smallest contractile unit of skeletal muscles.
- it is the smallest functional unit because it is the smallest functional part of Myofibrils. Ans myofibrils itself is the smallest unit of skelatal muscle system.
- During muscle contraction within the sarcomere, myosin slides along actin to contract the muscle fiber in a process that requires ATP.

Question 50 1 pts What happens during a tetanic contraction in skeletal muscle? Twitches sum together, creating a strong contraction Action potentials sum together, leading to a strong contraction The muscle is stretched and reflexively contracts strongly Ca2+ influxes in SR, which leads to a strong contraction Question 49 1 pts In smooth muscle, phosphorylation of leads to contraction.

Why does a skeletal muscle cell need a neuromuscular junction as a component part? Skeletal muscle fibers are voluntary and thus must be stimulated by a neural impulse before they will contract. Through the neuron, the brain tells the muscle cell what proteins to produce and what wastes to pump out of the cell. The muscle cell needs to be told when to divide, such as when a person is exercising and needs more muscle. A neuron provides the necessary...
