The Structural Basis of Contraction in Muscle and Its Study by Rapid X-Ray Diffraction Methods

  • Conference paper
Myocardial Failure

Part of the book series: International Boehringer Mannheim Symposia ((BOEHRINGER))

Abstract

By way of introduction to this part of the symposium, we think we should first describe very briefly the basic features of the contractile structure of muscle, as far as we know them at present. These features are virtually the same throughout all types of striated muscle including heart muscle. For convenience of experimentation, a considerable amount of the structural work has been carried out using certain skeletal muscles of the frog or rabbit, but there are of course very good reasons to believe that the conclusions about the mechanisms derived from such studies will be of general application.
