Ever wondered about the intricate process of a single muscle contraction?

~ motor neuron sends impulse to the synaptic cleft at a neuromuscular junction.
~ a chemical called Acetylcholine (ACH) binds to the receptors of the muscle fibre and open an sodium ion channel in the cell
~ this travels into the T-tubules and makes the membrane of the sarcoplasmic reticulum ‘excitable’
~ causes the release of calcium into the sarcoplasm and to the surface of the thin filaments within the muscle fibre
~ it then exposes the thick filament where myosin head can fit into the socket of the thin filament about 45 degrees
~ ATP from myosin head becomes hydrolysed to create ADP and phosphate
~ the head locks in socket, ADP and phosphate get converted to ATP again
~ this causes the head to move again pulling filament back to its starting position, sliding.
~ the sarcolemma becomes shorter and calcium goes back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum
~ ADP and phosphate convert ATP again
And the whole cycle can continue 😅

Wow! Aren’t our bodies incredible. An electrical impulse turns into a chemical reaction which fuels a mechanical impulse ❤️

The cool season is here and we are moving into colder wetter days. And normally I would just be hanging out for the sun ☀️ to come back. But rather than complaining of how cold it can be, let’s take a moment to appreciate the change, which nature needs. We also need this change and opportunity to move in. Embrace flow, adaptability and creativity in this Vata time.

Yoga is on for the last time this Friday at the dbk library and then we break and resume for school hols. See you then 😊
