A regional airline pilot flies passengers to and from small and mid-sized airports. They also ferry passengers to major airports, where connecting flights on larger planes await. Typically, a regional pilot carries between 19 and 70 passengers, depending on the size and type of planes the airline uses.fter gaining experience by accumulating flight hours, first officers may become captains, who earn an annual average of $55,000. If a captain is taken on by a major airline, it is usually to the position of first officer or flight engineer. Once promoted back to captain, the average annual salary is about $135,000.
1 The action potential opens gates in the muscle's calcium store (sarcoplasmic reticulum). 2  Calcium ions flow into the cytoplasm, which is where the actin and myosin filaments are. 3  Calcium ions bind to troponin-tropomyosin molecules located in the grooves of the actin filaments.
As an action potential reaches a muscle cell, it triggers calcium to release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum of the cells. The calcium ions then flow into the cytoplasm and bind to the troponin and tropomyosin molecules in the actin filaments of the muscle cells. The binding of calcium allows the troponin to change shape and expose the actin-myosin binding site.
