Muscular Contraction

This book is composed of a set of chapters contributed by past and present collaborators of the Nobel laureate Sir Andrew Huxley, covering the areas of muscle research to which he has made major contributions. The purpose of the book is to discuss the way that muscle works, asking questions at a fundamental level about the molecular basis of muscle tone production and muscle contraction. The majority of the chapters are concerned with muscle physiology and the relation between structure and function. Although most of the book concerns itself with vertebrate skeletal muscle, several of the chapters deal with cardiac muscle.Simmons, Robert M. is the author of 'Muscular Contraction' with ISBN 9780521417747 and ISBN 0521417740.
