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

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle is able to repair itself through regeneration. However‚ an injured muscle often does not fully recover its strength because complete muscle regeneration is hindered by the development of fibrosis. Biological approaches to improve muscle healing by enhancing muscle regeneration and reducing the formation of fibrosis are being investigated. Previously‚ we have determined that insulin-like growth factor–1 (IGF-1) can improve muscle regeneration in injured muscle. We also have

Muscle contractions are due to the sliding-filament model where the filaments slide longitudinally past each other producing an overlap between thin and thick filaments. The sliding filaments rely on the reaction between actin and myosin. Calcium ions bind to the troponin complex on the actin filaments and cause the tropomyosin to change the orientation of the actin filament to expose the myosin head binding sites on the actin filament. Glycolysis and aerobic respiration generate adenosine triphosphate

There is always great debate about the need to take supplements or medications when build muscle. If you are going down this path and on a mission to build muscle naturally then you need to forget them. While supplements play some role in maintaining good nutritional balance the truth is‚ they are really only necessary if you struggle to gain the right nutrition from your diet. But there is little doubt that the natural way is by far the best way so you need to be a little vigilant when you start

In a human body there many muscles but therefore are seven major muscles groups and correspond to many exercises there are legs one exercises that common is squats‚ chest exercise is like bench or push up‚ back one of the exercises is dumbbell‚ shoulder exercise is lateral raises‚ biceps exercise like barbell curl‚ triceps exercise like kick back and abdominal exercise like bicycle Exercise.

Skeletal muscle is made up of bundles of individual muscle fibres called myocytes. Each myocyte contains many myofibrils‚ which are strands of proteins (actin and myosin) that can grab on to each other and pull. This shortens the muscle and causes muscle contraction. It is generally accepted that muscle fibre

Muscle Strain Overview- Muscle strain‚ also termed as muscle tear and muscle pull is related to the muscle damage and its attached tendons. It occurs when you give excessive pressure on muscles during performing daily life activities like during sports or heavy weight lifting.it can be in the form of tearing of the fibres of your muscles and attaching tendons. In addition to this it also affects small blood vessels which leads to bleeding‚ bruising and pain. Causes- A severe muscle strain occurs
