Ion Movements in Skeletal Muscle in Relation to the Activation of Contraction

  • Chapter
Physiology of Membrane Disorders

Abstract

The dramatic event by which skeletal muscle, when stimulated, converts chemical energy into mechanical work has fascinated and puzzled physiologists for a long time.(1) The interest with which the process of muscular activation has been studied was probably also aroused by the possibility of measuring accurately both the electrical activity associated with the outer membranous system and the mechanical output. The whole sequence of events which bridges these two processes has been intuitively called excitation-contraction coupling.(2) Most of the current knowledge concerning this coupling is based on experiments performed in recent years, particularly on single frog and crustacean muscle fibers, a point to be borne in mind in any discussion on this subject.
