Skeletal Muscle Physiology: An Update to Anatomy and Function

This book provides a comprehensive overview of skeletal muscle  structure, function, and regulation at the cellular and molecular  levels. In addition, the book covers various topics, such as muscle  contraction, energy metabolism, fatigue, adaptation, and plasticity.  This book discusses skeletal muscle anatomy and histology and then  covers muscle contraction's molecular and cellular mechanisms. Also, it  includes an in-depth discussion of the sarcomere, the basic unit of  muscle contraction, and the role of calcium in the process of muscle  contraction.

This book also explores the energy  metabolism of skeletal muscle, including the role of ATP, glycogen, and  fatty acids in providing energy for muscle contraction. Additionally,  the book covers the mechanisms of fatigue, including peripheral and  central factors contributing to muscle fatigue.

Other  topics covered include muscle adaptation to exercise, the molecular and  cellular mechanisms of muscle hypertrophy and atrophy, andthe influence  of age, sex, and disease on skeletal muscle function.

Overall,  Skeletal Muscle Physiology: An Update to Anatomy and Function  thoroughly explores the structure and function of skeletal muscle,  making it an essential resource for students and professionals in  exercise science, sports medicine, and physiology.

The  auto-summaries have been generated by a recursive clustering algorithm  via the Dimensions Auto-summarizer by Digital Science handled by Subject  Matter Experts and the external editor. The editor of this book  selected which SN content should be auto-summarized and decided its  order of appearance. Please be aware that the auto-summaries consist of  original sentences, but are not representative of its original paper,  since we do not show the full length of the publication. Please note  that only published SN content is represented here, and that  machine-generated books are still at an experimental stage.
