We'll cover topics including: skeletal muscle and motor neuron structure, the mechanics of skeletal muscle contractions, motor unit recruitment, energetics related to muscular contraction, anatomical and physiological differences between the three muscle types, muscle development across the lifespan, and pathological conditions related to muscle.
