The sequence of events that links the muscle's action potential to changes in skeletal muscle force development is called what?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Excitation-contraction coupling is the physiological process of converting an electrical stimulus to a mechanical response. It is the sequence of events that links the muscle cell's action potential (an electrical signal) to the mechanical action of muscle contraction, specifically in skeletal muscles. This process involves various steps including the release of calcium ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which then interact with the muscle filaments to facilitate contraction.
