HUMAN ANATOMY- SLCC EXAMREVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Transfer tubules (t-tubules) - Answer-tube that extends into sarcoplasm that enable
impulses to travel which causes the smooth ER to release; allows electrical signal to
pass to inner parts of cells calcium=muscle contraction
What are cross bridges? What is their function? - Answer-formed by myosin heads that
bind actin and myosin;
In the sarcomere what changes length during a muscle contraction? - Answer-A band
