Strabismus is an eye condition in which one eye is not aligned correctly (see pictures below). One treatment is to inject botulinum toxin (Botox) into eye muscles to correct the misalignment. Considering the effects of botulinum toxin on the neuromuscular junction we have learned, which muscle would you inject the toxin (A-D)? Briefly explain the molecular mechanism underlying this treatment. Left eye Right eye 0502 Left eye Normal eye alignment A B C Strabismus Right eye D

With regard to muscle contraction, which of the following is an INCORRECT statement with regard to the interactions of filaments that occur in the sarcomere? A. When muscles are relaxed tropomyosin blocks binding sites on actin subunits, which keeps cross-bridges from forming. B. The myosin heads conduct a power stroke motion to slide when bound to actin, to move the "thin" filaments towards the center of the sarcomere. C. During contraction, actin subunits are removed from the ends of the "thin" filaments to shorten actin polymers, thus reducing the length of the sarcomere. D. "Thick" filaments are anchored at the M-line, while "thin" filaments are anchored at the Z-line. E. Numerous myosin heads engage with the actin filaments simultaneously, such that there is no back-slipping during the contraction process.
