QUESTION 21 Which of the following is not a correct statement about the sliding-filament model of muscle contraction? A. Actin crossbridges detach from the myosin filaments with energy from ATP hydrolysis B. A major conformational change in relative size occurs within the sarcomere's zones and bands C. A muscle shortens or lengthens because the thick and thin filaments slide past each other D. The thick and thin filaments do not change length

Animal Physiology Question 1. Contrast ionotropic and metabotropic receptors. Specifically describe how they differ in their mechanisms of converting a sensory stimulus to a change in membrane potential. Provide one example of an ionotropic receptor we discussed in class and briefly describe how it works. Provide one example of a metabotropic receptor discussed in the textbook and briefly describe how it works.

Animal Physiology Question 1. How do sensory neurons encode stimulus modality (i.e. type of stimulus), stimulus location, stimulus intensity and stimulus duration? Provide the level of detail necessary to understand these concepts, for hearing specifically. How does your brain distinguish low vs. high frequency sounds?
