Question
Chapter 9.7, Problem 16CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The preference of Jordon: more slow oxidative muscle fibers or faster glycolytic fibers as his helpers while moving with his friends.
Introduction:
Contraction is not a simple process where the muscles just move; rather, it involves numerous functions and pathways that are quite helpful in this process. For example, the energy requirement, the calcium pump, and the sodium and potassium levels restoration are all what are involved in a muscle fiber contraction.
