The area where muscle and nerve fibers intersect is called the neuromuscular junction. This junction is functions as the site of communication that connects the nervous and muscular system.

What are the structures within the muscle fiber that shorten to cause skeletal muscle fiber contraction?

The structures within the muscle fiber that shorten to cause skeletal muscle contraction are called myofibrils. Myofibrils are composed of repeating units called sarcomeres, which contain thick and thin filaments made of proteins (actin and myosin). When the muscle fiber is stimulated by a nerve impulse, the myosin heads interact with the actin filaments to generate the force required for muscle contraction.

What is the all none law of muscle response?

all-or-none law is the principle that the strength by which a nerve or muscle fiber responds to a stimulus is not dependent on the strength of the stimulus. If the stimulus is any strength above threshold, the nerve or muscle fiber will give a complete response or otherwise no response at all


What is sacrolemma?

The sarcolemma is the cell membrane of a muscle fiber. It surrounds and protects the muscle fiber and controls the movement of substances into and out of the cell. The sarcolemma plays a crucial role in muscle contraction and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscle fiber.


What position on the muscle cell where the nerve fibers connect?

The point where a nerve fiber connects to a muscle cell is known as the neuromuscular junction. This connection allows the nerve signal, or action potential, to be transmitted from the nerve to the muscle cell, triggering muscle contraction.
