Answer:

e. bind to troponin which moves the tropomyosin.

Explanation:

Troponin (Tn) is a protein complex composed of three different proteins: troponin C (TnC), troponin I (TnI), and troponin T (TnT). This complex is found both in skeletal muscles and cardiac muscles, where TnC attaches calcium ions through four and three calcium ion-binding sites, respectively. When a muscle is relaxed, Tn attaches to tropomyosin to prevent muscle contraction. During muscle contraction, calcium channels open and cytosolic calcium ions bind to TnC, thereby Tn changes its conformation and moves the tropomyosin. This process relieves the inhibition of the interaction between actin and myosin filaments, which makes muscle contraction possible.

Parathyroid hormone is the major regulator of the plasma concentration of__________ ions
photoshop1234 [79]

Answer:

Calcium

Explanation:

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a hormone that is secreted by the parathyroid gland. It is the major regulator of the plasma concentration of calcium ions. It regulates calcium ions in the kidney, intestine and bones.

In the kidney, is involved in the re-absorption of calcium in distal ducts and the renal collecting duct, it is also involved in activating the conversion of 25-hydroxy vitamin D into 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (calcitriol).

In the intestine,  PTH is involved in the absorption of calcium, by increasing vitamin D production.

In the bone, it helps in regulating calcium levels; when serum calcium level is low, PTH stimulates the activity of the osteoclast, to produce more calcium.
