Answer:

\rMyosin binding to F-actin is blocked

Explanation:

Tropomyosin is a protein involved in skeletal muscle contraction and that wraps around actin and prevents myosin from grabbing it. This prevents muscle contractions until the proper signal arrives. When the nervous system tells the muscle cell to contract, calcium is released.

Papillary muscles are found in the bottom chambers of the heart and attaches to the tricuspid and bicuspid valve through tendons to facilitate blood flow during systole. It also prevent prolapse. These muscles contract before the contraction of ventricular muscles (or before the contraction of ventricles) by pulling chordae tendinae till the ventricles are relaxed. This helps in preparing the valves for high ventricular pressure
