Functional unit of muscle contraction is the sarcolemma, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and _____
Sarcoplasm
Thin myofilaments are composed of myosin, actin, and light chain _____
Myokinase
The sarcoplasmic reticulum of muscle fibers is a storage site for calcium ions and releases the calcium when stimulated.
By action potential

Sodium potasium ATP pump
Acetyl choline is the neurotransmitter released from vesicles in the synaptic knob of the ____
Neuron
Excitation-Contraction Coupling
1.) Nerve signal 2.) Calcium is released 3.) ACh diffuses across synaptic cleft 4.) Binding causes a comformational change 5.) K+ gates open 6.) Depolarization spreads along sarcolemme 7.) depolar runs through T Tubules 8.) Ca2+ diffuses out of SR and binds to troponin 9.) Active sites exposed 10.) ATP causes release of G-Actin
