COMPLETION.
1. What is the name of the theory of muscle contraction? Sliding Filament
2. The following is the process where muscle contract. Write the correct words that are
missing on the completion section using a-e.
Ca+Releases a.Ach Ach binds  b.Na+ enters muscle Open Ca+ channels 
ADP+P binds to Myosin head c.
Ca+ binds to Troponin  Actin shifts 
Myosin binds to Actin Uses d. ADP+P energy to pull Actin inward ADP disengages
from Myosin headContinues until Ca+ decreases  e Actin shifts back  Muscle
relaxes
Possible WORDS TO USE FOR COMPLETION:
ADP+P, Actin, Ca+, Na+, Ach, Actin, Myosin
