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