Muscle Proteins: The Voluntary Movement

Voluntary movement including everyday things such as walking, chewing and flipping through a magazine, is driven by skeletal muscle (Leiber, 2002). The contraction and relaxation of muscle that produces movement (Bragg,2013) starts off with a message/impulse from the nervous systemf to the muscle informing it to "act" (Rhoades,2009). Muscle function depends on how responsive the muscle is to a stimulus. Muscles have proteins embedded in them that allow the muscle to be as efficient as possible(Martini et.al, 2012).

Proteins function optimally under specifc conditions(Sherwood,2012). Under unfavourable conditions, proteins will denature and their function is affected(Martini et.al,2012). When muscle proteins denature, the muscle is affected
