    Muscle Contraction

    • 4 Pages

    Q1 Muscle contraction can be understood as the consequence of a process of transmission of action potentials from one neuron to another. A chemical called acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through

    Static Contraction Weight Lifting Going to the gym‚ I notice people blindly bouncing from weight machine to machine until they do enough repetitions to make the target muscle group tired. Isn’t that the goal of working out? Tiring yourself out so your body grows more muscle? No‚ unfortunately that is not how it works. Working out with the purpose of gaining muscle and strength requires more than just getting “tired” and it must be more than just a habit. One of the best ways to train your body

    There are three phases for muscle cell contraction: initiation of action potential in the sarcolemma‚ excitation-contraction coupling‚ and contraction‚ sliding of the myofilaments. ATP and calcium ions are two essential elements for muscle contraction. When ATP attaches to the myosin head‚ it gets hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. Calcium ions bind to the troponin molecules and help expose the binding sites of actin filaments to allow for the attachment of the myosin heads. After the sliding of the myofilaments

    My writing process has always been a frustrating one. I like writing‚ but I don’t think I’m very good at it. When I was younger‚ I loved letting my creative side shine by writing silly stories and pretending I was Stephen King‚ using words that I didn’t even understand. My dad read me Shel Silverstein’s books of poems and and drawings. Those books inspired me so much to write and to draw and be creative on a blank sheet of paper. I also loved writing in elementary school when there were no requirements
