cap it
Term
Myosin does what?
Definition
Brings lagging edge
Term

Term
Muscle cells move how?
Definition
Myosin pulling Z discs, nothing is elongated or shortened, can return to state unchanged
Term
Ca2+ in Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
Definition
Action potential causes transmembrane protein in PM to open (voltage gated)
