Use the sliding filament model to draw how thin filaments, thick filaments, and Z lines move during muscle contraction.
Predict how perturbations of acetylcholine release, reception, or breakdown will influence muscle contraction.
Predict how perturbations of actin, troponin, tropomyosin, myosin, or calcium would influence muscle contraction.
Distinguish between the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system.
Predict how changes in stress levels or situations would affect activation of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system, levels of epinephrine and norepinephrine, and blood pressure.
