It binds to troponin so that cross-bridges form between actin and myosin 13 This is the neuromuscular junction where a nerve impulse reaches a sarcolema. 14 A-band 15 Cardiac Muscle - Attached to bones - Voluntary, you control these muscles - Striated - Single, long, cylindrical multi-nucleate cells - Strong, rapid contraction - Not rhythmic Actin- contains binding sites that are covered by regulatory proteins until calcium ions are present to allow a binding molecule to attach itself to it and pull the two molecules past each other. - Found only in the heart - Involuntary - Has striations - They are branching chains of cells - Steady, rhythmic contractions Acetylcholine A dark thin protein band to which actin filaments are attached in a striated muscle fiber, marking the boundaries between adjacent sarcomeres Action Potential Mostly in walls of hollow, visceral organs NO striations Spindle-shaped cells in sheets or layers Slow, sustained contractions move substances through the organ or along a tract Tendon- a fibrous connective tissue that connects a muscle to a bone. This depicts the unit called the sarcomere which is responsible for an individual muscle cell contraction. The interaction between actin and myosin filaments in this area of the sarcomere is responsible for the muscle contraction. Calcium
