  • Rigor mortis

    Therefore, at death, ATP production drops and for a while anyway, the myosin remains locked onto the actin, essentially making the muscles quite rigid -- rigor.

  • Muscle contraction

    A new ATP binds to the myosin head, displacing the ADP and the initial sarcomere length is restored. Smooth muscles and skeletal muscles differ in excitation contraction coupling.

  • Smooth muscle properties

    Clearly, since smooth muscles are constantly working in a state of partial contraction, a constant drain on ATP reserves would be devastating to body physiology.

  • Muscular System

    Energy for contraction ATP is required for muscle contraction and muscle relaxation. However, ATP is relatively unstale and the available ATP is only able to maintain contraction for < 1 s.

    In one case study, the authors describe a link between low calcium levels in a patient and the development of ventricular arrhythmia (3).
