An action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific cell rapidly rises and falls.

Animal embryonic development
In developmental biology, animal embryonic development, also known as animal embryogenesis, is the developmental stage of an animal embryo.

Anisotropy
Anisotropy is the structural property of non-uniformity in different directions, as opposed to isotropy.
Antonie van Leeuwenhoek
Antonie Philips van Leeuwenhoek (24 October 1632 – 26 August 1723) was a Dutch microbiologist and microscopist in the Golden Age of Dutch science and technology.

Benjamin Cummings
Benjamin Cummings is a publishing imprint of Pearson Education that specializes in science.
See Sarcomere and Benjamin Cummings
Calcium-induced calcium release
Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) describes a biological process whereby calcium is able to activate calcium release from intracellular Ca2+ stores (e.g., endoplasmic reticulum or sarcoplasmic reticulum). Sarcomere and calcium-induced calcium release are muscular system.
See Sarcomere and Calcium-induced calcium release
Cardiac muscle
Cardiac muscle (also called heart muscle or myocardium) is one of three types of vertebrate muscle tissues, with the other two being skeletal muscle and smooth muscle. Sarcomere and Cardiac muscle are muscular system.
See Sarcomere and Cardiac muscle
Costamere
The costamere is a structural-functional component of striated muscle cells which connects the sarcomere of the muscle to the cell membrane (i.e. the sarcolemma).
Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a part of a transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding.
See Sarcomere and Endoplasmic reticulum
Force
A force is an influence that can cause an object to change its velocity, i.e., to accelerate, meaning a change in speed or direction, unless counterbalanced by other forces.
German language
German (Standard High German: Deutsch) is a West Germanic language in the Indo-European language family, mainly spoken in Western and Central Europe. It is the most widely spoken and official or co-official language in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the Italian province of South Tyrol.
See Sarcomere and German language
Glycogen
Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide of glucose that serves as a form of energy storage in animals, fungi, and bacteria.
Isotropy
In physics and geometry, isotropy is uniformity in all orientations.
L-type calcium channel
The L-type calcium channel (also known as the dihydropyridine channel, or DHP channel) is part of the high-voltage activated family of voltage-dependent calcium channel.
See Sarcomere and L-type calcium channel
Muscle contraction
Muscle contraction is the activation of tension-generating sites within muscle cells. Sarcomere and muscle contraction are muscular system.
See Sarcomere and Muscle contraction
Myofibril
A myofibril (also known as a muscle fibril or sarcostyle) is a basic rod-like organelle of a muscle cell.
Myogenesis
Myogenesis is the formation of skeletal muscular tissue, particularly during embryonic development. Sarcomere and Myogenesis are muscular system.
Myomesin
Myomesin is a protein family found in the M-line of the sarcomere structure.
Myosin
Myosins are a superfamily of motor proteins best known for their roles in muscle contraction and in a wide range of other motility processes in eukaryotes.
Myosin head
The myosin head is the part of the thick myofilament made up of myosin that acts in muscle contraction, by sliding over thin myofilaments of actin.
Nebulin
Nebulin is an actin-binding protein which is localized to the thin filament of the sarcomeres in skeletal muscle.
Neuromuscular junction
A neuromuscular junction (or myoneural junction) is a chemical synapse between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber.
See Sarcomere and Neuromuscular junction
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
Nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, or nAChRs, are receptor polypeptides that respond to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine.
See Sarcomere and Nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
Phosphagen
Phosphagens, also known as macroergic compounds, are high energy storage compounds, also known as high-energy phosphate compounds, chiefly found in muscular tissue in animals.
Phosphocreatine
Phosphocreatine, also known as creatine phosphate (CP) or PCr (Pcr), is a phosphorylated form of creatine that serves as a rapidly mobilizable reserve of high-energy phosphates in skeletal muscle, myocardium and the brain to recycle adenosine triphosphate, the energy currency of the cell.
See Sarcomere and Phosphocreatine
Polarized light microscopy
Polarized light microscopy can mean any of a number of optical microscopy techniques involving polarized light.
See Sarcomere and Polarized light microscopy
Ryanodine receptor
Ryanodine receptors (RyR for short) form a class of intracellular calcium channels in various forms of excitable animal tissue like muscles and neurons.

Sarcolemma
The sarcolemma (sarco (from sarx) from Greek; flesh, and lemma from Greek; sheath), also called the myolemma, is the cell membrane surrounding a skeletal muscle fibre or a cardiomyocyte.
Sarcoplasm
Sarcoplasm is the cytoplasm of a muscle cell. Sarcomere and Sarcoplasm are cell anatomy.
Sarcoplasmic reticulum
The sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) is a membrane-bound structure found within muscle cells that is similar to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum in other cells.
