Exercise 6
Detailed measurements of sarcomere length and tension during isometric contraction in striated muscle provided crucial early support for the sliding-filament Detailed measurements of sarcomere length and tension during isometric contraction in striated muscle provided crucial early support for the sliding-filament   model of muscle contraction. Based on your understand- ing of the sliding-filament model and the structure of a sarcomere, propose a molecular explanation for the rela- tionship of tension to sarcomere length in the portions of Figure Q16-1 marked I, II, III, and IV. (In this muscle, the length of the myosin filament is 1.6 μm, and the lengths of the actin thin filaments that project from the Z discs are 1.0 μm.) model of muscle contraction.
