Immediately following the hydrolysis of ATP during muscle contraction, the energy released is used to power the movement of myosin heads on the actin filaments, leading to muscle contraction. This process involves the myosin head binding to actin, forming a cross-bridge, and then performing a power stroke that pulls the actin filament inward. As a result, the muscle fibers shorten, generating force. The cycle continues as more ATP is hydrolyzed, allowing for sustained contraction.
The period of isovolumetric contraction is immediately followed by the period of ventricular ejection in the cardiac cycle. During isovolumetric contraction, the ventricles contract while all valves are closed, and this is followed by the opening of the semilunar valves to allow blood to be ejected from the heart during ventricular ejection.
During the latent period of muscle contraction Ca++ is being released from the sacroplasmic reticulum and filament movement is taking up slack. This takes approx. 2 milliseconds.
The insertion of an intraocular lens (IOL) usually immediately follows phacoemulsification.
The stage that immediately follows depolarization in an action potential is repolarization. During this stage, potassium channels open and potassium ions move out of the cell, leading to a restoration of the cell's negative charge.
During muscle contraction, ATP attaches to the myosin heads of the thick filaments in the muscle fibers. When ATP binds to myosin, it causes the myosin head to detach from the actin filament, allowing for a new cycle of cross-bridge formation and muscle contraction to occur. The hydrolysis of ATP then provides the energy necessary for the myosin head to pivot and pull the actin filament, leading to muscle shortening.

a concentric contraction- a concentric contraction involves the muscle length, shortening during a contraction! YA-trick-YA!
In your mouth, amalyze chemically digests new food through your spit. This is a form of hydrolysis in digestion.
Yes, the Z line shortens during muscle contraction.
