Q

What is the nature of it’s muscle fiber ?

A

They are cylindrical , branched , uninucleate and never undergo fatigue{longest refractory period}

Note :- Muscle fiber are interconnected by communication junction \ gap junction \ intercalated disc which act as booster to transmit the wave of contraction from one fiber to the next.

Q

What is the sliding filament theory ?

A

During the muscle contraction thin filament (actin) slide over the thick filament (myosin) towards the H zone (reduces) hence the length of the sarcomere reduces called contraction.
