Chapter 9, Problem 4RC
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Muscle contraction refers to the acceleration of tension-producing points present in the muscle fibers. The contraction of muscle fiber exerts a tension that leads to shortening of the length of muscle fiber. This process requires energy in the form of ATP.
