Muscle cells are excitable cells that can transmit action potentials and convert chemical energy into mechanical movement. There are three main types of muscle: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle is striated, voluntary, and connects to bones. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart and has intercalated discs. Smooth muscle is non-striated and involuntary. Muscle contraction occurs via the sliding filament model, where myosin heads attach to actin and generate a power stroke, pulling the thin filaments toward the center. Contraction requires ATP hydrolysis to allow myosin to detach from actin and reattach further along. The length-tension relationship shows that muscle develops maximum tension at its optimal length.
Skeletal muscle is composed of long cylindrical muscle fibers that contain contractile filaments called myofibrils. Myofibrils contain regularly arranged thick and thin filaments that allow for muscle contraction via the sliding filament mechanism. Thick filaments are composed of myosin and thin filaments are composed of actin. When calcium levels rise, myosin heads bind to actin and the power stroke causes thin filaments to slide inward, shortening the sarcomere and muscle fiber. Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum via T-tubules in response to neural stimulation.

Muscle tissue has four main characteristics - excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity - that allow it to perform important functions like movement, posture, and temperature regulation. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, which is voluntarily controlled and enables movement; smooth muscle, which controls involuntary functions like digestion; and cardiac muscle, which pumps blood through the heart and circulatory system. Each muscle type has distinct cellular features related to their roles and methods of electrical and chemical stimulation to cause contraction.

Comparison of skeletal and smooth muscles (1)Ilyas Raza
This document compares smooth muscle contraction to skeletal muscle contraction. Some key points:
- Smooth muscle requires 1/300 the energy of skeletal muscle to sustain the same tension. It uses one ATP per contraction cycle.
- Smooth muscle contraction is prolonged, lasting 1-3 seconds, while skeletal muscle contracts and relaxes rapidly.
- Smooth muscle is able to maintain contraction, or "latch", with very little energy through prolonged cross-bridge attachment and reduced myosin phosphorylation rates.
- Calcium regulation of contraction is similar between muscle types but smooth muscle response is much slower.
Skeletal muscle is composed of bundles of muscle fibers that contain filaments of actin and myosin. Contraction occurs through a sliding filament mechanism when calcium ions are released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum in response to an action potential, causing the actin and myosin filaments to interact and shorten the muscle. The sarcoplasmic reticulum plays a key role in muscle contraction by storing and releasing calcium ions in response to electrical signals transmitted via the motor nerve.

Animal physiology and anatomy muscular systemSijo A
Muscle is a soft tissue found in most animals.
They are primarly responsible for maintaining and changing posture,locomotion as well as movement of internal organs.
They are derived from the mesodermal layer of embryonic germ cells in a process known as myogenesis.
Based on locomotion three types of muscles are identified.
This document provides an overview of the muscular system and covers several key topics:
1) It describes the structure of skeletal muscle from the organ level down to the molecular level, including muscle fibers, sarcomeres, myofibrils, actin, and myosin.
2) It explains the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction and how myosin and actin interact to cause muscle shortening.
3) It outlines the process of muscle contraction and relaxation, including the roles of calcium ions, ATP, and acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction.
The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibres. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
Muscle tissue is composed of elongated cells called myocytes or muscle fibers. There are three main types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle fibers are striated and multinucleated and produce fast, forceful contractions under voluntary control. Cardiac muscle also has striations but the fibers are branched and connected via intercalated discs, producing involuntary, rhythmic contractions. Smooth muscle lacks striations and has slow, involuntary contractions produced by individually contracting fusiform cells.

muscles introduction including the structure of skeletal muscles which helps you understand the molecular contraction of muscles and the whole contraction mechanism of the muscles. I hope it will help you.
The document summarizes the muscular system. There are three types of muscle tissue: cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle is striated and voluntary, attaching to bones to enable movement. It contracts through the sliding filament model, where actin and myosin filaments interact powered by ATP. Motor neurons stimulate muscle fibers at the neuromuscular junction, and calcium ions link electrical signals to contraction. Muscle utilizes creatine phosphate, glycogen, and cellular respiration to fuel contractions and overcome fatigue. Muscular diseases can result from genetic mutations affecting muscle proteins.
Muscle is one of the four primary tissue types of the body, and the body contains three types of muscle tissue: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle.
The muscular system contains three main types of muscles - skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. Skeletal muscle is striated and contains bundles of fibers surrounded by connective tissue layers. Muscle fibers contain myofibrils made up of repeating sarcomere units of actin and myosin filaments. Contraction occurs when a nerve impulse triggers calcium release and the myosin heads bind to actin, shortening the sarcomere. Regular exercise can increase muscle endurance through aerobic training or strength through anaerobic weight training.
Muscle fibers are single cylindrical cells composed of bundles of myofibrils, which contain actin and myosin filaments. There are three main types of muscle tissue - skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle. Skeletal muscle is striated, under voluntary control, and has multiple peripheral nuclei. The functional unit of skeletal muscle is the sarcomere, containing actin, myosin, and regulatory proteins. Contraction occurs via the sliding filament model, in which calcium binding allows myosin to interact with and pull actin filaments toward the center of the sarcomere.
This document summarizes key aspects of muscle physiology:
1. It describes the three main types of muscle tissue - skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle - and their characteristic features such as number of nuclei and speed of contraction.
2. The structure and sliding filament mechanism of skeletal muscle contraction is explained. Key contractile proteins actin, myosin, and tropomyosin play a role in muscle shortening.
3. The process of excitation-contraction coupling is summarized, where an action potential triggers calcium release and cross-bridge cycling to cause muscle fiber contraction.
This document summarizes the structure and function of the three main types of muscle tissues - skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. It describes the sarcomere as the basic contractile unit of myofibrils composed of thin actin filaments and thick myosin filaments. Contraction occurs via the sliding filament mechanism when myosin cross-bridges attach to and pull on actin filaments, shortening the sarcomere. Key regulatory proteins troponin and tropomyosin prevent contraction in low-calcium conditions by blocking the actin-myosin interaction.

- Smooth muscle fibers are much smaller in diameter and length compared to skeletal muscle fibers. Smooth muscle lacks striations and is located within organs like the intestines and blood vessels.
- Smooth muscle contraction is initiated by an increase in intracellular calcium ions which can be triggered by nerve stimulation, hormones, stretch of the fiber, or chemical changes. Calcium then binds to calmodulin instead of troponin to drive contraction.
- Smooth muscle exhibits a slow cycling of myosin cross-bridges, requiring less energy for sustained contraction compared to skeletal muscle. Its contraction and relaxation is also slower than skeletal muscle.

"Of course, you prefer to take players who are fully fit, but that's okay. We want to wait and be patient for some players even if they cannot play in those first matches," he told a press conference. The 37-year-old Vertonghen, Belgium’s Euro Cup 2024 most-capped international with 154 appearances, is struggling to shake off a groin injury.
"He will be there normally. This also applies to Youri Tielemans and Arthur Theate. The latter's position is very sensitive. We don't have many choices at left back. "It will only change if it turns out that they will only be available when, say, the final of the Euro 2024 Championship comes around. That's too long to wait. "However, I am confident that the injured boys are on track for the Euros.
Belgium vs Romania: Radu Dragusin Prepares for Crucial Role in Euro Cup Germany
Some of them have taken not one but two steps forward in their rehabilitation," he said. None of the injured players will feature in this week’s warm-up friendlies against Montenegro and Luxembourg. Romania centre-back Radu Dragusin found chances limited at Tottenham Hotspur in the second half of the 2023-24 season.
But is crucial to his country's cause at UEFA Euro 2024 where his aerial ability, physicality and hard graft make him a standout player. The 22-year-old moved to North London from Italian side Genoa in January but was kept on the sidelines by the form of another new arrival for the season, Mickey van de Ven, something Romania coach Edward Iordanescu admitted was a concern.
It will mean limited game-time going into the finals, but Dragusin, who cites Netherlands defender Virgil van Dijk as a role model, started every Euro Cup Germany qualifier as Romania went through the campaign unbeaten in their 10 games. He will be among their most important players in their first game in Germany against Ukraine in Munich on June 17, taking the right centre-back role in what is likely to be a back four.

However, in 2023, they played one another twice, with France endearing both matches 4-0 and 2-1 individually. Against Poland and Austria, the Netherlands also have a stout record, winning just under half the matches. They faced Austria at Euro 2020, engaging 2-0, and they haven't lost to Poland since 1979.
The lettering is on the wall for Holland to qualify for the knockouts, but nothing is failsafe. The Netherlands kickstart their Euros campaign against Poland on Sunday, June 16th. In Hamburg, they will have to go up against one of the best strikers in the world, Robert Lewandowski.

Five days later, they travel south to face France in Leipzig, a side led by Kylian Mbappe - one of the finest players in the world currently and one of the most impressive players in his nation's history. To conclude, they face Austria in Berlin, knowing it could be the end of the road if they don't perform.
Ronald Koeman is widely considered one of the more successful Dutch managers in Premier League history, considering the nation has a reputation for struggling to replicate their talents in England. The former Everton manager went against that script and shone — and now he is back managing his nation.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.
1. Muscle structure and the mechanism of muscular contraction
BY
Mr. Prabhjot Singh

2. What is Muscle
A muscle is a collection of muscle tissues that contract together to
generate force. A muscle is made up of fibers of muscle cells
surrounded by protective tissue, which are bundled together with
many more fibers, all of which are surrounded by a thick protective
tissue. A muscle contracts and shortens in response to ATP, exerting
force on the objects to which it is attached. Muscles are classified
into several types, each of which affects a different part of the body.
3. Structure of Muscle
A muscle is made up of several muscle tissues that are bundled
together and surrounded by epimysium, a tough connective
tissue that resembles cartilage. The epimysium protects
fascicles, which are bundles of nerve cells that run in long
fibers. The perimysium, which surrounds these fascicles, acts as
a protective layer. This layer facilitates the flow of nerves and
blood to the individual fibers. The endomysium, a protective
layer, is then wrapped around each fiber. A muscle is organized
in a basic pattern of bundled fibers separated by protective
layers, as shown in the image below.
4. Sarcolemma
Basement membrane and endomysial connective tissue surround
the sarcolemma, which is the plasma membrane of the muscle cell.
The layer of sarcolemma fuses with tendon fibers at one end of the
muscle fiber, and these tendon fibers insert into the bone. As a
result, the tendon connects each individual muscle fiber to the
bone.
Sarcoplasm
The cytoplasm of a muscle fibre is known as sarcoplasm. It's a
water solution that contains ATP and phosphagens, as well as
enzymes, intermediates, and product molecules involved in a
variety of metabolic reactions.
5. Myofibrils
Myofibrils are protein filament bundles that contain the
cardiomyocyte's contractile elements, or the machinery or motor
that drives contraction and relaxation.
There are two types of filaments in myofibrils: thin filaments
and thick filaments. Thick filaments are made up of strands of
the protein myosin coiled together, whereas thin filaments are
made up of strands of the protein actin and a regulatory protein.
Sarcomeres are functional units made up of thin and thick
filaments that form partially overlapping layers.
6. Contt.
The myofibril appears to have dark and light bands due to the
way the myofilaments are arranged, giving the muscles a
striated appearance. The dark bands are known as A bands,
and they are made up of thick and thin filaments. The H-zone,
which contains only thick filaments, and the M-line, which
contains enzymes involved in energy metabolism, are located
in the center of the A band. Between the A bands are the light
bands, also known as I bands, which are regions with only
thin filaments. The I bands are centred on the Z line, a disc
made up of the protein –actin in that anchors the thin actin
filaments and serves as a sarcomere subunit boundary.
7. The sliding filament theory of muscular contraction
H.E.Huxley hypothesis (1969). The theory explains how
muscles contract mechanically and chemically. During
contraction, the actin filaments slide over the myosin filaments,
not changing their length.
This theory's mechanical, physiological, and biomechanical
processes can be broken down into five stages. The following is
a list of them:
•Rest
•Excitation-Coupling
•Contraction
•Recharging
•Relaxation
8.
9. Rest: At rest, most of the calcium required for muscle
contraction is stored in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, so very
few myosin cross-bridges are bound to actin. In this state,
the muscles are resting because no tension is accumulated
in the muscles. In this state, the muscles are resting because
no tension is accumulated in the muscles.
Excitation-Coupling: Nerve impulses reach the
neuromuscular junction and cause the release of a
chemical called acetylcholine. Calcium (Ca +) is then
released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This separates
the troponin-tropomisin from actin. This means that
myosin can attach to actin-a cross-bridge is formed.
10.
11. Contraction: ATP is split (ADP + Pi) and energy is
released. Myosin draws actin (ZLine / Zdiscs get closer to
each other) and sarcomere shortens (for example, muscle
shortens).
Recharging: Myosin then separates from actin and breaks
the cross-bridge while ATP recombines to the myosin
head. The whole process repeats.
Relaxation: When a nerve impulse is no longer present,
calcium returns to the sarcoplasmic reticulum and actin
returns to its resting position, causing the muscle to
lengthen and relax.
