  1. In skeletal muscle tissue, calcium binds with __________, causing __________ to no longer cover the active site, allowing for cross-bridge formation.
    1. troponin, tropomyosin
    2. tropomyosin, troponin
  2. In order from lest superficial to most superficial:
    1. myofibril → muscle fascicle → sarcomere → muscle fiber → skeletal muscle
    2. sarcomere → muscle fiber → myofibril → muscle fascicle → skeletal muscle
