Molecular Mechanism Of Muscle Contraction Sliding Filament Theory

Molecular Mechanism Of Muscle Contraction Sliding Filament Theory — a labelled NEET Biology diagram with a definitions lexicon.

Molecular Mechanism of Muscle Contraction: Sliding Filament Theory Labelled parts: Actin filament, Tropomyosin, Troponin complex, Myosin head, ATP, ADP, Pi, Ca2+, Myosin. A protein that forms the thin filaments of muscle fibers. A motor protein that forms the thick filaments and interacts with actin to cause contraction. A regulatory protein complex that controls the interaction of actin and myosin when calcium is present. A protein that blocks the active sites on actin molecules in relaxed muscle. Adenosine Triphosphate; provides the energy required for the myosin head to detach and reset.
