(3) When the nervous system signal is no longer present, the chemical process reverses, and the muscle fibers rearrange again and the muscle relaxes. Let’s look a little more closely at the steps in the mechanism of muscle contraction. ...
During skeletal muscle contraction, the thick filament slides over the thin filament by a repeated binding and releases myosin along the filament. This whole process occurs in a sequential manner. Step 1: Muscle contraction is initiated by signals that travel along the axon and reach the neuromuscu...

Smooth muscle contraction is a calcium-dependent process that can be induced by electromechanical coupling (triggered by action potentials and depolarization of the cell membrane) or by pharmacomechanical coupling (receptor-mediated activation of intracellular mechanisms). ...

Functional enrichment (Fischer Exact Test FDR < 0.02) on significantly different proteins highlighted enrichment of several protein categories, including muscle contraction, Ca2+ channel, and glycolysis/gluconeogenesis, confirming fiber-type-specific contractile and metabolic differences (Fig. 2d and ...
Skeletal muscle voluntary contraction is controlled by the motor neurons, which interact with the muscle cells at the neuromuscular junction. The motor neurons are divided into upper and lower. The upper motor neurons have the cell body in the cerebral cortex, while the lower are located in the...
Excited to contraction by the nervous system, the muscles of the body showed how the work of that system was carried out, as well as when it had malfunctioned. “The knowledge that we already possess of the nerve-centres,” wrote London Hospital physician Francis Warner , “is from ...
Rupture of the tibialis anterior in the middle-aged athlete often is the result of a minor trauma. The mechanism of injury involves a strong contraction of the muscle with the ankle in plantarflexion. The rupture may be painless, but dysfunction is noted immediately by the patient, who develop...
Moreover, the number of muscle fibers innervated by one motoneuron (the innervation ratio) is the primary determinant of the force generated by a MU, which is lowest for S and highest for FF MUs (Burke, 1981). S MUs are the first activated during muscle contraction, whereas FF MUs are ...
