Muscle

Muscle During the past two years investigation in the field of muscle physiology has been very largely limited to those aspects of the subject which have obvious practical applications. The efforts of physiologists studying muscle have thus been directed along sev­ eral well-defined lines. This imposes a limitation of subject matter on a review already geographically circumscribed by the fact that many important European scientific publications are either non­ existent or are not available in North America. Histologically and functionally all contractile tissue falls into three classes, smooth (sometimes called nonstriated or involun­ tary) , striated (sometimes called striped, skeletal, or voluntary) and cardiac muscle. As the physiology of smooth muscle has been reviewed recently by Fischer striated or skeletal muscle will be taken as the chief subject of the present review. Little work has been done recently on cardiac muscle so it will not be considered separately but will be compared with skeletal muscle where new information is available. An attempt has been made to cover in­ vestigative work reported between August, 1942, and September, 1944, and earlier work is mentioned only when it was not available to the previous reviewer or is essential to a logical treatment http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Annual Review of Physiology Annual Reviews

Abstract

During the past two years investigation in the field of muscle physiology has been very largely limited to those aspects of the subject which have obvious practical applications. The efforts of physiologists studying muscle have thus been directed along sev­ eral well-defined lines. This imposes a limitation of subject matter on a review already geographically circumscribed by the fact that many important European scientific publications are either non­ existent or are not available in North America. Histologically and functionally all contractile tissue falls into three classes, smooth (sometimes called nonstriated or involun­ tary) , striated (sometimes called striped, skeletal, or voluntary) and cardiac muscle. As the physiology of smooth muscle has been reviewed recently by Fischer striated or skeletal muscle will be taken as the chief subject of the present review. Little work has been done recently on cardiac muscle so it will not be considered separately but will be compared with skeletal muscle where new information is available. An attempt has been made to cover in­ vestigative work reported between August, 1942, and September, 1944, and earlier work is mentioned only when it was not available to the previous reviewer or is essential to a logical treatment
