EXCITATION CONTRACTION COUPLING

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following represents the correct sequence of events in a contraction cycle?
A
active-site exposure, cross-bridge attachment, myosin reactivation
B
active-site exposure, cross-bridge attachment, cross-bridge detachment, myosin reactivation
C
cross-bridge attachment, active-site exposure, cross-bridge attachment, cross-bridge detachment, myosin reactivation
D
active-site exposure, cross-bridge attachment, cross-bridge detachment, myosin reactivation
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -(i) The myosin head pulls the actin filament towards the M-line. (ii) The myosin head releases ADP and phosphate. (iii) The myosin head hydrolyses ATP. (iv) The myosin head binds actin.

Detailed explanation-2: -discharge of motor neuron at myo-neural plate (endplate) release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the endplate. binding of acetylcholine to its receptors. increased Na+ and K+ conductance in endplate membrane. generation of action potential at endplate. More items
