Document Summary
Identify the criteria used to classify muscle, then differentiate the three muscle types using these criteria. Describe the properties common to all muscle types. Explain why muscles identified as organs by identifying the components of skeletal muscle. Examine the gross anatomical features of skeletal muscle. Explore the microscopic anatomy of skeletal muscle and the specific arrangement of each element in relation to the others. Explain the sliding filament theory of muscle fiber contraction. Describe the structural arrangement of the neuromuscular junction, and explain the mechanism of generation of an action potential across the sarcolemma. Describe a motor unit, and explain how these can affect the strength of muscle contraction. Describe the different types of muscle contraction, and explain how wave summation operates in these various types. Describe the mechanisms through which muscles are supplied with atp. Explain the factors that can affect the force of a muscle contraction.
