2 principles within the slinding filament theory

A sarcomere shortens as a result of the Z-lines moving closer together (converging), The Z-lines converge as the result of the myosin filaments' heads attaching across the myosin resulting in a shortening of the muscle fiber

muscle contraction steps

Nerve impulse begins in CNS annd travels down motor neuron, which is facilitated by sodium and potassium electrolytes to the neuromasticular junction Acetylcholine is released into the neuromuscular junction, which helps the nerve impulse cross the synapse into the muscle Nerve impulse travels into the muscle infrastructure, stimulating a small organ called the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release the electrolye calcium Calcium is then released into the muscle, stimulating a chain of events that results in the myosin heads binding to actin Myosin heads pull the actin toward the sarcomere center, which slides the overlapping filaments past each other, shortening the entire muscle
