Contraction of a Muscle Fiber

Dublin Core

Subject

Muscle Fiber

Description

A cross-bridge forms between actin and the myosin heads triggering contraction. As long as Ca++ ions remain in the sarcoplasm to bind to troponin, and as long as ATP is available, the muscle fiber will continue to shorten.
