Description:

The activation of skeletal muscle is initiated by configuration changes in trigger molecules in the surface membrane. The function of such molecules is studied through the electrical signals that they produce in response to voltage change. This monograph of the Physiological Society provides a lucid and comprehensive review of recent developments in this rapid expanding field of study.

Synopsis:

A lucid and comprehensive review of developments made in the understanding of cellular activation phenomena in striated muscle. Basic physical, mathematical, and physiological principles are covered to a more coherent level than currently available in published literature. The book consistently draws correlations both with cellular and molecular biological information and their physiological consequences and significance. Accessible both as a survey of basic concepts and as an authorative review of recent work in the field. The book succeeds in explaining complex biophysics in such a way that the non-expert reader obtains insights into the molecular mechanisms of muscle activation and their control mechanisms as well as providing the expert with the detailed mathematical and experimental evidence.
