1. Acetylcholinesterase
It breaks down acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft.
2. Voltage gated Calcium channels
Exocytosis is activated by calcium. These channels are found on the membrane of synaptic terminals.
3. Only Myosin myofilaments
The A- band of H- zone contains only Myosin filaments. Due to this, H-zone gets shorter during muscle contraction.
4. Sarcoplasmic reticulum
Calcium is stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the muscle cells.

Question 28 4 pts Once the action potential occurs in the sarcolemma, it spreads moving down the T-tubules. What next? What is the correct order of events which result in skeletal muscle contraction? (4 points) a. Once the muscle cell action potential is initiated then calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. These calcium ions bind to troponin. With this binding, tropomyosin is pulled away from the active sites on actin. Myosin can bind with actin forming a cross...

Regarding the neuromuscular junction... a. Depolarization of the presynaptic membrane directly causes voltage-gated calcium channels in the membrane to open. b. Action potentials in the sarcolemma directly cause calcium channels to open. c. Action potentials in the sarcoplasmic reticulum indirectly cause the calcium ATPase pump to function, if ATP is present. d. both a) and b) are correct, and c) is incorrect e. a), b) and c) are all correct 2) Following ATP hydrolysis by myosin, which steps occur during...

Which of the following statements about skeletal muscle contraction is false? During muscle contraction, the Z discs move closer together as the myosin heads move toward the plus ends of the actin filaments. The changes in voltage across the plasma membrane that occur when a muscle cell receives a signal from the nervous system causes Ca2+ to flow into the sarcoplasmic reticulum, triggering a muscle contraction. An action potential in the muscle cell plasma membrane leads to voltage-gated calcium channels...

1. True -False. If a statement is True, place a T to the left of it. If a statement is False, place an F to the left of it. Thin filaments in smooth muscles attach to Z discs. The majority of ventricular filling occurs during the period of atrial contraction known as the period of rapid filling. Closure of the atrioventricular valves occurs at the end of diastole/beginning of systole. Tetanus in skeletal muscles is the result of increasing the...
Put these steps in neuromuscular junction synaptic transmission and excitation-contraction coupling in chronological order. A. Ryanodine receptors open B. Voltage-gated Na+ channels open in the muscle cell membrane near the neuromuscular junction C. Tropomyosin rotates into the groove of the thin filament (out of the way of the myosin binding site) D. Depolarization of motoneuron axon terminal E. Ca2+ dissociates from troponin F. [Ca2+] rises in the muscle cell cytoplasm G. An EPSP occurs in the muscle cell H. Myosin...
13. During skeletal musele contraction, whet substance does the sarcoplasmic reticulum store and release? A. acetyicholine B. sodium D. calcium 34. What stimalates the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) to release this chemical? A. the voltage change from the muscular action potential traveling down the transverse (1) tubules B. the binding of acetylcholine to ligand-gated channels in the transverse tubules C. direct stimulus from the neural action potential D, the binding of myosin to actin 35.
