Episode 16 - Muscle Tissue Part 3

This episode discusses the way neurons innervate skeletal muscles and they manner in which skeletal muscles shorten to move the skeleton, regulate movement of materials, etc. The neuromuscular junction is the union of a motor neuron and a skeletal muscle fiber. There are three phases to muscle contraction: excitation, excitation-contraction coupling, and sliding filaments. Finally after contraction, we have relaxation. All are covered in this one episode.

"Anatomy & Physiology - Bit by Bit" is not only intended for college students taking A&P, it's for anyone who is interested in how the human body is structured and how it functions. Where students are concerned, the goal is "B or better." Whether you're interested in nursing, physical therapy, physician assistant, radiography, etc, a B or better should be the goal to be competitive with other students in your field. Hopefully, these short, pointed discussions will help you understand what you need to be successful. Feel free to email me questions at minus55media@gmail.com.
