In rodent skeletal muscle, another fast fiber type exists, type IIb; however, this protein is not expressed in human skeletal muscle. Each muscle fiber type is characterized not only by specific contractile properties, but by unique metabolic properties as well. Due to their slow contraction ...
Alterations of these molecules are mediated by changes in the intracellular Ca 2+ level, energy status level, and/or the activated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway. In this section, the intracellular signaling pathway induced by skeletal muscle contraction is discussed....
The sarcomere is the functional unit of the muscle fiber. The sarcomere itself is bundled within the myofibril that runs the entire length of the muscle fiber and attaches to the sarcolemma at its end. As myofibrils contract, the entire muscle cell contracts. Because myofibrils are only approxim...
via physical interaction (Figure 1a). Ca2+ions that are stored in the SR are released to the cytosol via the activated RyR1, where they bind to troponin C, which then activates a series of contractile proteins and induces skeletal muscle contraction. Compared with other signals in skeletal musc...

A、Number of muscle fibers thatcontract simultaneouslyB、Frequency of contraction ofeach muscle fiberC、Number of active cross-bridgesin each muscle fiberD、Degree of plasticity of themuscleE、Degree of muscle excitabilityMultiplechoice questions
Skeletal muscle force generation and contraction are fundamental to countless aspects of human life. The complexity of skeletal muscle physiology is simplified by fiber type classification where differences are observed from neuromuscular transmission to release of intracellular Ca2+ from the sarcoplasmic reti...
