Abstract
Mechanisms affecting the muscle contraction should be subdivided into those localized either to the membrane or to the contractile proteins. Effects at the membrane influence the contraction by changing the intracellular Ca++ concentration. Intracellular mechanisms, on the other hand, affect either the elementary process of cyclic interaction, or the effectiveness of intracellular Ca-activation regarding specific binding sites at the contractile proteins, for instance.
