Q

Act of contraction with muscle

A

must be stimulated by a nerve ending,propagate an electrical current or action potential along its sarcolemma, and have a rise in intracellular calcium levels or the final trigger for contraction

  • linking the electrical signal to the contraction is excitation-contraction coupling
  • skeletal muscles are stimulated by motor neurons of the somatic nervous system
  • axons of these neurons travel in nerves to the muscle cells
  • axons of motor neurons branch profusely as they enter muscles
  • each axonal branch forms a neuromuscular junction with a single muscle fiber
