    6.3 Contraction of Muscles

     Muscle fibers
     Fascicle
     Myofibrils

    6.3 Contraction of Muscles

     Each myofibril has 2 types of myofilaments:


    1. Myosin
    2. Actin
     Sarcomeres
     Z line

    What is the structural and contractile unit of
    a skeletal muscle called?
    a. Myofilament
    b. Myofibril
    c. Sarcoplasmic reticulum
    d. Sarcomere

    6. What is the structural and contractile unit
    of a skeletal muscle called?
    Answer:
    d.Sarcomere
    Explanation:
    Myofilaments are parts of a sarcomere; myofibrils
    contain sarcomeres; and the sarcoplasmic
    reticulum is a separate organelle.

    6.3 Contraction of Muscles

     Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
     Transverse tubules (T tubules)

    © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc.


    Which of the following occur during the
    power stroke of muscle contraction?
    a. Acetylcholine binds to receptors.
    b. Myosin heads pull on actin filaments.
    c. Calcium is pumped out of the sarcomere.
    d. ATP is split by the myosin head into ADP and Pi.

    9. Which of the following occur during the
    power stroke of muscle contraction?
    Answer:
    b.Myosin heads pull on actin filaments.
    Explanation:
    According to the sliding filament model, myosin
    heads bind with actin and then move, pulling actin
    toward the midline of the sarcomere, thus
    shortening the sarcomere.
