  1. If you do not floss, you will miss cleaning approximately 35% of the tooth surfaces in your mouth! • THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS ARLINGTON • PRE-DENTAL SOCIETY • GENERAL BODY MEETING • SEPTEMBER 26, 2014 Which of the following structures is responsible for the release of calcium ions? A. Neuron B. Sarcomere C. Intercalated discs D. Sarcoplasmic Reticulum E. Endoplasmic Reticulum UTA Pre-Dental Society 2014-2015

  2. Correct Answer: D.sacroplasmic reticulum Calcium ions are essential for muscle contraction to occur. Without the release of calcium, the myosin head would be unable to bind to the actin at the binding sites. It is the calcium that binds and removes troponin from the myosin binding sites on the actin. This is done when the axon terminal nearest a muscle fiber releases acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, which then causes the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium into the muscle cell to allow for muscle contraction. The endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for protein modification following translation on a ribosome. http://datquestionoftheday.com/category/biology/
