This is a mindmap about skeletal muscle including the structure of myofobrils and sarcomeres, the neuromuscular junction, Excitation-contraction-coupling, the contraction-relaxation cycle and muscle fatigue. Different types of skeletal muscle fibers are compared: Slow- twitch, fast- twitch oxidative and fast-twitch glycolytic muscle fibers. I explain the motor unit. Smooth muscle and its structure, myosin phosphorylation and relaxation, aswell as a short explanation of the mechanics of body move...
