Muscle, Skeletal - Physiology
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Muscle, Skeletal'A subtype of striated muscle, attached by TENDONS to the SKELETON. Skeletal muscles are innervated and their movement can be consciously controlled. They are also called voluntary muscles. Common names: Muscle, Skeletal; Muscles, Skeletal; Skeletal Muscles; Skeletal Muscle; Muscle, Voluntary; Muscles, Voluntary; Voluntary Muscle; Voluntary Muscles; Soleus Muscle; Muscle, Soleus; Plantaris Muscle; Muscle, Plantaris; Anterior Tibial Muscle; Muscle, Anterior Tibial; Tibial Muscle, Anterior |

The motor cortex assumes an increasingly important role in higher mammals relative to that in lower mammals. This is true to such an extent that the human motor cortex is deeply involved in reflex regulation and it is common to speak of ... Read more...
Muscle contractions guide rohon-beard peripheral sensory axons.
19 Oct 2009 Multiple molecular cues guide neuronal axons to their targets during development. Previous studies in vitro have shown that mechanical stimulation also can affect axon growth; however, whether mechanical force contributes to axon guidance in vivo is ... Read more...
Impedance control reduces instability that arises from motor noise.
5 Oct 2009 There is ample evidence that humans are able to control the endpoint impedance of their arms in response to active destabilizing force fields. However, such fields are uncommon in daily life. Here, we examine whether the CNS selectively controls the ... Read more...
