Explanation / Answer

1) Myofibrils - C Thousands grouped together to form the muscle fiber

2) Titin - Elastic springy proteins attached between Z disc and myosin

3) Actin filaments - H Composed of actin, tropomyosin and troponin

4) Tropomyosin - E Block active sites on actin filaments to block myosin attraction

5) sarcomere - G Muscle sections between Z discs that individually contract

6) acetyl choline - A Excitatory transmitter that excites muscle fiber membrane

7) Neuromuscular junction - D Nerve fiber sympase at muscle fiber

8) SUB NEURAL CLEFTS- Folds on the muscle membrane in a synaptic trough

9) calmodulin - F activates myosin cross-bridges in smooth muscle

10) calcium pump - B Required to cause smooth muscle relaxation

11) walk along theory - K Muscle tension when myosin heads pull on actin filaments

12) intercalated discs - L Gap junctions at fusions of muscle cells
