Answer: The answer is 3,5,1,4,6,2

Explanation: A muscle contraction is an increase in the tension (force exerted by the muscle on a bone) or a decrease in the length of a muscle. The steps that occurs during muscle contraction are:

1. Depolarization of the T-tubules causes release of calcium from the lateral sacs of the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

2. Calcium binds to the troponin-tropomyosin complex in the actin filaments,releasing the inhibition that prevented actin from combining with myosin.

3. Myosin head attaches to the exposed site of actin and forms cross bridges by utilizing energy from ATP hydrolysis. It is at this stage that the contraction of the muscle occurs .

4. ATP binds to the myosin cross-bridge, breaking the actin-myosin bond and allowing the cross-bridge to dissociate from actin.

5. Cross-bridge activation continues as long as the concentration of calcium remains high enough to inhibit the action of the troponin-tropomyosin system.

When stimulation ceases, calcium moves back into the lateral sacs of the sarcoplasmic reticulum .

6. Removal of calcium restores the inhibitory action of

troponin-tropomyosin. In the presence of ATP, actin and myosin remain in the dissociated, relaxed state.

Write a speech that Theodora might have given Justinian to convince him to stay in Constantinople during the rebellion in A.D 53

const2013 [10]

Allow me to do better than offer "a speech that Theodora might have given."

The following is a record of the speech she actually did give to Justinian in AD 532, when the riots had broken out in Constantinople.

The speech was recorded by the historian (AD 500-565), probably on the testimony of one or more of the royal advisors who were present. Procopius recorded Theodora's words in chapter 24 of his History of the Wars (published AD 552). Here's what he said Theodora said to Justinian:

As to whether it is unseemly for a woman to be bold among men, or to be daring when others are full of fear, I do not think that the present crisis allows us to consider the matter. For in extreme danger the only vital thing is to deal with the situation in the best way. For my part, I consider that now of all times flight would be bad, even if it brings safety. Once a man is born he cannot escape dying, but for one who has held the imperial power it would be unbearable to become a fugitive. May I never be parted from this purple, and may I never live to see the day when men who meet me will not address me as their sovereign. If you wish to be saved, Emperor, that is not difficult. We have great resources of wealth; there is the sea, here are the boats. But take care lest when you have saved yourself you wish that you could have death instead of your safety. I agree with the old saying, “Purple is a good shroud.”
