The Mechanism of Muscle Contraction: Sarcomeres, Action Potential, and the Neuromuscular Junction
Professor Dave Explains
@professordaveexplainsAbout
Welcome! I have a knack for explaining stuff and I want to share some knowledge with you. I received a BA in chemistry from Carleton College, and performed graduate studies in both synthetic organic chemistry and science education at Cal State Northridge, receiving an MA in the latter. Prior to this I taught for about a decade in various high school and undergraduate settings, specializing in organic chemistry but also teaching general chemistry, physics, and biology. This channel is for students at the high school and undergraduate level, but it is also for members of the general public who just want to know more about the world and how things work. My goal is to increase science literacy in our society, so please share these tutorials with anyone that you think might enjoy them. Happy learning!

Video Description
We've learned about the types of muscle, including skeletal muscle, and we know then when these muscles contract, we are able to move our bodies around. But how exactly does this happen on the molecular level? There is an astonishing amount of chemistry happening to make this work, so let's dive into those sarcomeres and take a look at the neuromuscular junction!
