The head of the cross bridge then separates from the actin filament, freeing it to another cycle of sequential binding farther along the actin filaments. � Thus supporting the ideas that the sliding movement between the actin and myosin filaments results from forces produced by the cross bridges acting on the actin filaments. � The cross bridges must alternately attach to the actin filament, exert Fig. 1: Organization of the vertebrae spinal cord and its forces, detach, and re-attach at another locus. segmental roots shown in cross section. 7 8 ��+� ��&("�%�������� !"�)�� �%"���� �$!�#��%"� �"&+""$�&(�%,�'$ �&(�$�#��'*"$&�- � There have been a number of suggestions.

  3. � An enzyme called acetylcholinesterase breaks down acetylcholine. � The enzyme acetylcholinesterase which is produced at the neuromuscular junction, then destroys acetylcholine and this permits the re-absorption of calcium ions into the muscle cell and terminates the contraction . � Upon retraction the calcium has to be absorbed by the myosin molecules and is moved along in another way, that way the movement is done back to its original state, so calcium ions are also required to terminate contraction.
