Description

Overview:

The aim of this lecture is to give the student a new perspective on the muscle, the largest organ in the body. Skeletal muscles are primary identified by the mechanical activity required for posture, movement and breathing, which depends on muscle fiber contractions. However skeletal muscle isn’t just a component in our locomotor system.
