Anatomy of a Skeletal Muscle Cell
Link to a video on the anatomy of the skeletal muscle cell.
Skeletal Muscle Structure
Link to a video where you can learn more about macro- and microstructures of skeletal muscles.
Neuromuscular Junction - Motor Unit.
Link to a video where you can learn more about what happens at the NMJ. Every skeletal muscle fiber is supplied by a motor neuron at the NMJ.
How a Muscle Contraction is Signalled
Link to a video where you can learn more about the role of calcium. The release of calcium ions initiates muscle contractions.
Contraction of Skeletal Muscle Cells.
Link to a website with a video about the contraction of skeletal muscle cells.
Action Potentials and Muscle Contraction
Link to a website with a video that shows the action potential during muscle contraction, including quiz.
Breakdown of ATP and Cross-Bridge Movement During Muscle Contraction
Link to a website with a video showing the breakdown of ATP and cross-bridge movement during muscle contraction, including quiz.
Sarcomere Contraction
