Skeletal Muscle

From the Paper:

" Skeletal Muscle
Perhaps the most important topic in the field of exercise physiology is the muscular system. Skeletal muscles enable the organism to move. Through an in depth analyses of muscle structure, the specific mechanisms behind its function may be elucidated. It is its architecture which enables skeletal muscle to contract and relax; two processes which not only function statically, but may also have the capacity for change.

Three types of muscle are known to exist in man and animals: skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and smooth muscle (9:3.4). Skeletal muscle..which connects to bones and joints..is typically activated by motoneurons (5:121). These muscles allow for locomotion and the performance of work (13:205). In addition, they account for over a quarter of the body's weight and the.."
