It has been told that actin and myosin is present in fish‚ making it tougher to chew in most cases. To test the theory of actin and myosin being present in fish making it tougher to chew was the purpose of this experiment.

of contraction with actin and myosin and z-lines on each side. Calcium binds to the troponin protein‚ located on the actin filament. This allows tropomyosin to move‚ exposing the myosin head binding sites on actin. When the myosin heads bind to actin‚ this is known as the cross bridge. ADP and Pi molecules are released‚ causing myosin to pull on actin. This movement is known as the power stroke. To stop the contraction‚ ATP binds to the myosin head‚ and myosin detaches from actin‚ stopping the contraction

calcium into the sarcoplasm. (4)Calcium then binds with the tropomyosin and moves it out of the way exposing the binding sites on the actin. (5)The binding sites are now free for the myosin to attach to them. (6)When the myosin attaches to the actin it forms a cross bridge. At this point we burn an ATP in order for the myosin to grab an actin. (7)The myosin then pulls on actin causing contraction. This is called the “power stroke”. In order for myosin to

This calcium is then used to initiate contraction‚ given the affinity of troponin to calcium. As troponin attaches to calcium‚ it produces a movement of the tropomyosin molecule that frees up the actin site so that the charged cross-bridge can contact the site resulting in the liberation of energy from the adenosine triphosphate (ATP) molecule. Nerve impulses are sent from the motor cortex of the brain through the spinal cord. The musculocutaneous

is made up of protein filaments‚ myosin and actin. These filaments slide past each other to produce a contraction which changes both the length and shape of the cell. The primary function of the muscle is to produce both movement and force. Skeletal muscle is composed of bundles of muscle fibres containing myofibrils of thick and thin filaments (myosin and actin). Skeletal muscle have distinct striations due to the overlapping of the myosin and actin held in place by the sarcolemma. Skeletal muscles

Muscle contractions happen when muscle fibers are stimulated‚ which can cause one of many types of contractions. Isometric contractions‚ which means that tension happens in the muscle but there is no change in muscle length‚ therefore there is no movement of the muscle itself. An example of Isometric contractions would be strength training‚ such as holding a weight still‚ which happens in the biceps brachii. The biceps brachii the gets more tension‚ but the muscle length stays the same. As for isotonic

Physiology (and some Anatomy) of the Muscle Contraction Within the muscle tissue there is a unique arrangement of myofilaments (actin and myosin) in a sequential order in the muscle fiber. Each packet of actin and myosin and their regulatory protiens (troponin and tropomysin and others) is called a sarcomere. The actin and its tropin-tropomyosin complex are thin strand referred to thin filaments. The myosin and its multiple heads are called the thick filament. Together they
