Sliding Filament Mechanism
Animations to help understanding of muscle contraction
Day 2
Reviewing the animations (diffusion, osmosis, active
transport, endocytosis/exocytosis, striated muscle
contraction, detailed striated muscle contraction, muscle
contraction action potential and actin-myosin
crossbridges) at the following link and completing the
accompanying quizzes will help you in your
understanding of this unit.
