    MANY PROCESSES MUST TAKE place within the skeletal muscle fibres in order for muscle contraction to occur. The cross bridge cycle‚ process by which the muscle length is shortened as myosin heads‚ extending from the myosin filaments‚ interact cyclically in a rowing motion with the actin filament (Rayment et al. 1993)‚ is one of the crucial mechanical events required. The mechanism is initiated when an ATP molecule is bound to a myosin head. An enzyme within the head. known as ATPase‚ hydrolyzes the

    defective receptor is responsible for a disruption of calcium ion regulation by accumulating calcium in the skeletal muscles‚ leading to hypermetabolsim.2 This overabundance of released calcium leads to continual muscle contraction in a form of rigidity.7 Continuous muscle contraction requires huge amounts of adenosine triphosphate‚ leading to adenosine triphosphate depletion; then

    It is initiated by the P wave of the electrocardiogram. Atrial depolarization starts contraction of the cardiac muscle. When the atria contract‚ pressure within the atrial chambers increase‚ this forces more blood flow across the open atrioventricular valves‚ leading to a rapid flow of blood into the ventricles. Directional flow to vena cava is restricted to one way flow as the wave of contraction through the atria moves toward the atrioventricular valve. 10% of left ventricular filling is
