| 1. | The myofibrils of smooth muscle cells are not arranged into sarcomeres.
|
| 2. | Muscle contraction consists of the simultaneous shortening of multiple sarcomeres,.
|
| 3. | Calcium ions are required for each cycle of the sarcomere.
|
| 4. | The action of myosin attachment and actin movement results in sarcomere shortening.
|
| 5. | PKC? translocates to cardiac muscle sarcomeres and modulates contractility of the myocardium.
|
| 6. | This enables proper assembly of myofibrils and thus, more organized sarcomeres.
|
| 7. | A cell from the biceps brachii muscle may contain 100, 000 sarcomeres.
|
| 8. | The sarcomeres are composed of thin and thick filaments.
|
| 9. | The sarcomere does not contain organelles or a nucleus.
|
| 10. | This causes the filaments to start sliding and the sarcomeres to become shorter.
