automaticity. a property of specialized excitable tissue that allows self-activation through spontaneous development of an action potential, as in the pacemaker cells of the heart.

Excitability. For a muscle to contract and do work, its cells must be stimulated, most often by the nerves supplying them. Nervous impulses cause the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at the nerve-muscle junction, and the acetylcholine activates receptors on the surface of the muscle cell.

Muscle-tendon elasticity complex is the natural ability of your musculoskeletal system to 'return to its original state'. When the limb of your body is moved in any way in any direction for any purpose, musclesand tendons accommodate by elongating or shortening at various key spots.

All muscle cells share several properties: contractility, excitability, extensibility, and elasticity: Contractility is the ability of muscle cells to forcefully shorten. ... Elasticity is the ability to recoil or bounce back to the muscle's original length after being stretched.

Actin-myosin-derived contractility has been most extensively studied in striated muscle(skeletal and cardiac muscles), but it is also the foundation for smooth muscle contraction and non-muscle-cell motility. ... The generation and regulation of contractility present a natural topic for a special issue of this Journal.

Vertebrate striated muscle contraction is controlled (regulated) by the action of the proteins troponin and tropomyosin on the actin filaments. Nervous stimulation causes a depolarisation of the muscle membrane (sarcolemma) which triggers the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

a fibrous protein that forms (together with actin) the contractile filaments of muscle cells and is also involved in motion in other types of cells.a cardiac and skeletal muscle protein that makes up close to one half of the proteins that occur in muscle tissue. The interaction of myosin and actin is essential for muscle contraction.

a protein that forms (together with myosin) the contractile filaments of muscle cells, and is also involved in motion in other types of cells.Actin also has an essential function in maintaining and controlling cell shape and architecture.

According to the sliding filament theory, Overlapping actin and myosin (thick) filaments of muscle fibers slide past the actin (thin) filaments during muscle contraction, while the two groups of filaments remain at relatively constant length.

Skeletal muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and they produce all the movements of body parts in relation to each other. Unlike smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle is under voluntary control.

Muscle fatigue is a symptom that decreases your muscles' ability to perform over time.When you experience fatigue, the force behind your muscles' movements decrease, causing you to feel weaker. While exercise is a common cause of muscle fatigue, this symptom can be the result of other health conditions, too.
