Muscle tension is the force exerted by the muscle on a bone or other object. A muscle contraction is isometric if muscle tension changes, but muscle length remains the same. An example of isometric muscle contraction is holding a book in the same position. A muscle contraction is isotonic if muscle length changes, but muscle tension remains the same.

Arm wrestlers must contract muscles in their hands and arms, and keep them contracted in order to resist the opposing force exerted by their opponent. The wrestler whose muscles can contract with greater force wins the match.

This requires work- or more formally, energy. This reading covers energy, energy transactions, defines G, and defines ∆G (the change in energy available to do work). It also describes a core concept for this course: the "Energy Story".

Skeleton muscle tissue is composed of sarcomeres, the functional units of muscle tissue. Muscle contraction occurs when sarcomeres shorten, as thick and thin filaments slide past each other, which is called the sliding filament model of muscle contraction. ATP provides the energy for cross-bridge formation and filament sliding.

It covers the actomyosin cross-bridge cycle, the interaction of actin and myosin, and the regulation of muscle contraction through proteins like troponin and tropomyosin, with a detailed explanation of the biochemical underpinnings of these processes.

Students will study the structure and functions of the 206 bones, muscle types, attachment points, contractions, and joint movements. They will engage in microscopy to examine bone and muscle tissues and participate in interactive activities like a forensic analysis simulation.
