As Skeletal Muscle Is Further Stretched Beyond the Length Where

question 111

Multiple Choice

As skeletal muscle is further stretched beyond the length where optimum force is developed,

• A)the thin filaments are pulled away from the thick filaments, thereby reducing actin's ability to interact with myosin.
• B)the thick filaments overlap one another, thereby reducing their ability to interact with actin.
• C)the amount of calcium released by the sarcoplasmic reticulum is reduced as length increases.
• D)the thin filaments overlap one another, thereby reducing their ability to interact with myosin.
• E)the thick filaments are pulled away from one another, thereby reducing their ability to interact with actin.
