According to this theory, muscle contraction is a cycle of molecular events in which thick myosin filaments repeatedly attach to and pull on thin actin filaments, so they slide over one another. The actin filaments are attached to Z discs, each of which marks the end of a sarcomere.

Muscle Contraction A muscle contraction is a complicated cycle and can differ according to the type of contraction and the type of muscle tissue. The following chart describes and diagrams the steps of a muscle contraction according to the sliding filament theory. Steps of a Muscle Contraction The brain or 1 spinal cord sends an impulse to the ...
How do the bones of the human skeleton move? Skeletal muscles contract and relax to mechanically move the body. Messages from the nervous system cause these muscle contractions. The whole process is called the mechanism of muscle contraction and it can be summarized in three steps:
