Answer:

The correct answer would be "Myosin heads attach to sites on actin filaments".

The muscle cell or myofibril consists of two types of protein filaments namely; actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick filament).

The myosin heads attach to the binding sites on the actin filaments and pull it towards the M-line in order to produce contraction.

The hydrolysis of ATP provides energy for this contraction cycle.

In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system ________ the arteries of the circulatory system and ________ the pupils

sukhopar [10]

The correct terms to fill in the blanks would be contracts and dilates. In stressful situations, the sympathetic nervous system contracts the arteries of the circulatory system resulting to the dilation of the pupils of the eyes. Also, during these situations, the blood sugar levels are raised since the hormones for stress kick in to combat the stress which in turn raises the blood sugar.
