chain contraction
1Myosin light-chain kinase — myosin light polypeptide kinase, smooth muscle Identifiers Symbol MYLK Entrez 4638 HUGO …
2Muscle contraction — See also: Twitch and Tremor Top down view of skeletal muscle Muscle fiber generates tension through the action of actin and myosin cross bridge cycling. While under tension, the muscle may lengthen, shorten, or …
3(myosin-light-chain) phosphatase — myosin light chain phosphatase Identifiers EC number 3.1.3.53 CAS number 86417 96 1 …
4Excitation-contraction coupling — Excitation contraction (EC) coupling is a term coined in 1952 to describe the physiological process of converting an electrical stimulus to a mechanical response [1]. This process is fundamental to muscle physiology, whereby the electrical… …
5Closed kinetic chain exercises — or closed chain exercises (CKC) are physical exercises performed where the hand (for arm movement) or foot (for leg movement) is fixed and cannot move. The hand/foot remains in constant contact with the surface, usually the ground or the base of… …
6Matrix chain multiplication — is an optimization problem that can be solved using dynamic programming. Given a sequence of matrices, we want to find the most efficient way to multiply these matrices together. The problem is not actually to perform the multiplications, but… …
7excitation-contraction coupling — Name given to the chain of processes coupling excitation of a muscle by the arrival of a nervous impulse at the motor end plate to the contraction of the filaments of the sarcomere. The crucial link is the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic …
8ear, human — ▪ anatomy Introduction organ of hearing and equilibrium that detects and analyzes noises by transduction (or the conversion of sound waves into electrochemical impulses) and maintains the sense of balance (equilibrium). The human ear, like …
9Analytic torsion — In mathematics, Reidemeister torsion (or R torsion, or Reidemeister–Franz torsion) is a topological invariant of manifolds introduced by Kurt Reidemeister (Reidemeister (1935)) for 3 manifolds and generalized to higher dimensions by Franz (1935)… …
