MUSCLE STRUCTURE AND PHYSIOLOGY J. Rosenbluth, April 2009

This article provides a comprehensive overview of the structure and physiology of muscle, including skeletal, cardiac, obliquely striated, and smooth muscles. It discusses topics such as the sliding filament model, muscle band patterns, excitation-contraction coupling, and various muscle pathologies.
