Watch the video on the sliding filament theory and identify the following:

1. What are skeletal muscles composed of?

2. What is each myofibril composed of?

3. Explain the process of myosiin acting on actin in the sliding filament theory.

4. What process occurs for a muscle to change from a relaxed state to contraction?

Choose a muscle and then answer the following information:

* Movements it is involved in (extension, flexion)

* Example of movement it is involved in (hitting a tennis ball)

* Anatomy of the muscle chosen (bones, tendons, muscle fibers, myofibrils, myofilaments, muscle belly)

* Explain the sliding filament theory

This needs to be presented as a powerpoint or poster with diagrams to add clarity to your explanation.

Label the anatomy of the muscle belly with the following terms:

Bone, tendon, muscle fiber, fascicle, muscle belly.

Use the image below to explain the sliding filament theory including the terms actin, myosin, Z line, contaction, relaxation, myosin heads.
