Receive stimulatory impulses to contract and inhibitory impulses to stop contraction from the neuromuscular junction. This contraction is carried out by Ca2+, ATP and the actin and myosin proteins in the cells, forming a sarcomere. By contracting and relaxing as a syncytium, the leg muscle can control the joint(s) it crosses and produce movement.

What is the route a glucose molecule takes from the small intestine to a leg muscle cell?

After being absorbed in the small intestine, glucose enters the bloodstream and is transported to the liver. The liver releases glucose into the bloodstream as needed, and it travels to the leg muscle cells through the circulatory system. Once in the muscle cell, glucose is used as an energy source through cellular respiration.
