Question
2.If you were running an experiment and interrupted the interaction between thin and thick filaments, what would be the most likely result on sarcomere contraction? This is a multiple choice question choose the answer from the choices below
A.The sarcomere would still contract causing the H zone to disappear
B.The sarcomere would still contract causing the H zone to disappear.
C.The sarcomere would not be able to contract therefore the H zone would remain the same in size.
D.The sarcomere would not be able to contract therefore the H zone would reduce in size.

- Now in your own words, EXPLAIN (1) howa neural impulse is transferred to a muscle cell this is the process of “muscle excitation"), and (2) how the electrical impulse travels into he T-tubules and causes calcium to be released from the sarcoplasmic retículum (this is the process of “excitation-contraction coupling"): OMADidoinos reticulum 5. se mo S1e hosph erah anismarrow_forward2. You cut the axon of a single motor neuron innervating the biceps muscle. Which of the following is true?a. The biceps muscle will no longer be able to contractb. Only one muscle fiber in the biceps will be unable to contractc. All muscle fibers in the biceps innervated by that motor neuron will no longer be able to contractd. There will be no effect since each muscle fiber is innervated by multiple motor neurons 3. Which of the following will produce the LARGEST force of twitch contraction? Explain your answer.a. Stimulation of all alpha motor neurons in a muscleb. Stimulation of all alpha motor neurons plus all gamma motor neurons in a musclec. Both stimulations will cause a similar force of twitch contraction 4. A patient, like Ian Waterman, who has lost all muscle proprioceptor neurons. Which reflexes will be absent inthis patient? 5.
