Answer:
The correct order is: 6) Sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions, 2) Calcium ions bind to troponin, 5) Tropomyosin moves to expose active sites of actin, 4) ATP is split into ADP and P, 1) Myosin head binds to actin, 7) ADP and P released from myosin, 3) Myosin cross-bridges bend, pulling actin toward center of sarcomere.
Explanation:
The ability to contract is an important property of the muscle cells and is fundamental to animals because muscles not only make locomotion possible but are also responsible for the correct functioning of organs (including the heart).
The mechanism behind muscle contraction is the sliding of filaments in a structure called sarcomere, which mostly involves the presence of actin and myosin filaments.
For muscle contraction to happen, there needs to be a <u>stimulus coming from the nerve that innervates said muscle</u>. This stimulus generates the release of <u>calcium ions</u> that will bind to a protein called troponin and will lead to the exposure of the active site of actin so it can bind to the myosin head. <u>This process requires ATP</u>.
Answer:
The answer is Vitamin E or α-tocopherol.
Explanation:
Vitamin E is a <u>fat-soluble</u> vitamin is first absorbed in the small intestine and is then <u>stored at the liver</u>. It is an <u>antioxidant</u> which <u>protects cells from free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS)</u>. It can also prevent bad cholesterol from depositing in the blood vessels.
Vitamin E can be <u>naturally found in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils</u>. As a dietary supplement, it takes the form of α-tocopherol. The RDA depends on the age of the person, as it may range from <u>4 mg to 15 mg per day</u>.
<u>Vitamin E deficiency is so rare</u> that it will only occur if the person has a <u>fat malabsorption illness like Crohn's disease, abetalipoproteinemia</u>, etc. Symptoms of deficiency include <em>muscle weakness, retinal degradation, peripheral neuropathy, and an immunocompromised state</em>.
Answer:
muscle contraction increases interstitial fluid pressure and compresses the blood vessels within the active muscle. As a consequence, blood flow is highest when muscles relax between successive muscle contractions.
