microglia
stores calcium to be released in skeletal muscle
sarcoplasmic reticulum
“telephone line” that causes release of calcium for SR
T tubule
covers f-actin filament’s binding site
tropomyosin
binds calcium and move tropomyosin off binding site
found in skeletal and cardiac muscle
troponin
calmodulin
smooth muscle contraction
T/F: I band is smaller, and A band does not change (skeletal muscle)
True

muscle contracts with joint movement
Isotonic/isokinetic
determined by number of muscle fibers recruited
strength of muscle
fast twitch
slow twitch
