Match the terms related to muscle contraction in Column-A with their descriptions or associated terms in Column-B:
 
Column-A Column-B
A. Myosin P. Blocks the active sites on actin filaments in a relaxed muscle
B. Actin Q. Binds to troponin, causing the troponin to change shape and move tropomyosin away from the active sites
C. Tropomyosin R. Thin filaments that slide past myosin during muscle contraction
D. Calcium Ions S. Thick filaments that pull on actin filaments to shorten the muscle

Codes:
A B C D
1. S R P Q
2. S R Q P
