Describes the cross-bridge mechanism of muscle contraction involving thick and thin filaments.
MECHANICAL phenomena in muscle are frequently interpreted by invoking cross-bridge mechanisms. These interpretations imply that tension development and shortening are brought about by the action of physical cross-links formed transiently between the interdigitating thick and thin filaments that comprise the contractile apparatus.
