Anatomy of Muscles: Types, Neuromuscular Junction, Contraction Mechanism, Quizzes of Biotechnology

Definitions and terms related to the anatomy of muscles, including the three types (cardiac, smooth, and skeletal), the neuromuscular junction, the sliding filament theory of muscle contraction, and key components such as actin, myosin, tropomyosin, and troponin.
