The Introduction to Muscle Physiology and Design

Index

This is an index to a few aspects of Muscular Physiology. Currently, we have pages about:

General Overview The Cross-bridge Cycle Cellular Energy Stores Glucose Metabolism Fat Metabolism Creatine Phosphate Fiber Types Using Histochemistry to Determine Muscle Properties Fiber Lengths Physiologic Cross-sectional Areas Microscopic Structure Macroscopic Structure Myofilament Structure Using Laser Diffraction to Measure Sarcomere Length Skeletal Muscle Structure Intrinsic Properties of Muscle Excitation-Contraction Coupling Hypertrophy Anabolic Steroids Electrical Stimulation Types of Contractions Eccentric Induced Injury Joint Moment Arms Muscle-Joint Interactions Bibliography Our recent publications and abstracts

Content adapted from Skeletal Muscle Structure, Function, and Plasticity by Richard L. Lieber

This resource, like most, is always under development. If you would like to see a specific topic addressed, or want more detail on any of these aspects, drop a line to the webmaster. We'll at least try to answer your non-clinical questions, if not add to the site.
