Chapter 10, Problem 1GPA
Summary Introduction
To determine: The mechanism by which skeletal muscles are induced to contract.
Introduction: Skeletal muscle is one of the three types of muscles that are mostly under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. They are called so because skeletal muscles are attached to the bones or skeleton by collagen fibers called as tendons. In adults, about 40-50% of total body weight is contributed by skeletal muscles.
