Select the correct option for the given statements in reference to muscle contraction.
Statements.
X = Actin slides over myosin
Y = Light meromyosin join with actin
Z = Myosin and Actin actually do not contract

HARD
How does muscle cells change their shape?

MEDIUM
Reason (R): The above said molecules have a role in masking and unmasking the active sites on actin.

MEDIUM
(i) Muscles show three essential properties such as excitability, conductivity and contractility.
(ii) Muscular tissue is endodermal in origin except muscle of iris and ciliary body.
(iii) The cytoplasm of muscle fibre has several myofibrils.
(iv) Skeletal muscles exhibit slow and prolonged contractions.
(v) The regular arrangement of myosin and actin filaments is responsible for alternate dark and light bands of striated muscle.
