  •  Sacrum, pubis, ilium, femur, tibia and fibula

  • Ilium, sacrum, pubis, femur, tibia and fibula

In old age, stiffness of joints is due to the

The functions of tropomyosin in skeletal muscle include:

  • Sliding on actin to produce shortening
  • Release Ca+2 after initiation of contraction

  • Troponin, myosin, actin                

  • Troponin, actin, relaxin

  • Actin, myosin, troponin                

  • Tropomysin, myosin, actin

The action potential that triggers a muscle contraction travels deep within the muscle cell by means of:

  • Sarcoplasmic reticulum                

  • Transverse tubules

  • Synapse                                      

  • Motor end plates

ATP provides energy for muscle contraction by allowing for:

  • An action potential formation in the muscle cell

  • Cross-bridge attachment of myosin to actin

  • Cross-bridge detachment of myosin from actin

  • Release of Ca+2 from sarcoplasmic reticulum
