skeletal muscles:       0.Troponin has a strong affinity              for Ca2+ Creation of phosphocreatine fuels skeletal muscle contraction Actin is held together by the m-line. Myosin contains actin binding sites that need to be exposed     In smooth muscle   Calsequestrin lowers the free calcium levels in the SR Epinephrine can activate Gs to inhibit voltage gated calcium channels causing relaxation DAG will inhibit MLCK to initiate contraction The sodium calcium exchanger facilitates calcium reuptake into the SR   For skeletal muscles:   Fast fibers are low in red myoglobin Majority of ATP production from oxidative phosporylation Isometric contractions causes a change in the skeletal muscle length Slow fibers have high oxidative metabolic capacity

Muscle Action

A change in the body or a bodily organ as a result of its functioning is referred to as an action. Muscle action can be defined as the specific movement of a bodily part generated by the contraction of a muscle. The muscle proteins actin and myosin are the important contractile proteins involved in muscle action. Muscle contraction, in addition to movement, serves several other important functions in the body, including posture, heat generation, and joint stability. Muscle contraction maintains posture, which includes standing and sitting.
