contraction in skeletal muscle is caused by specialized intracellular thin and thick filaments‚ actin and myosin‚ sliding past each other. Contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle bring about body movements. These body movements are voluntary and facilitated by the somatic nervous system. Near contact between somatic motor neurons and the muscle fibers are referred to as neuromuscular junctions. It is at the neuromuscular junctions that neurons are able to transmit a signal to the muscle fibers causing
