Muscle physiology

The muscle physiology is engaged in the operation and care of the muscle . She examines z. B. the sequence of contraction processes . This requires more detailed knowledge of histology .

Different sub-topics of muscle physiology are:

• Neuromuscular transmission of excitation
• Electromechanical coupling and contraction
• Regulation of muscle contraction
• Muscle mechanics
• Muscle energetics
