Correct answer: C. Troponin
- A. Actin
- B. Myosin
- C. Troponin
- D. Tropomyosin
Explanation
The protein filament which binds to the calcium troponin. Troponin plays a central role in the calcium regulation of muscle contraction: Troponin is the sole calcium-binding component of thin filaments (actin-tropomyosin-troponin complex) of striated muscles

About Support and Movement
Support and movement covers the axial and appendicular skeleton, bone structure, joints and the arrangement of skeletal muscles. Muscle contraction is explained through actin, myosin, sliding filaments, calcium ions and ATP, while arthritis is distinguished as a disorder of joints rather than a normal part of movement.
