propagates through the efferent nervous system, until it reaches the myocyte. Here
the sarcoplasmic reticulum releases calcium ions (Ca 2+), initiating the sliding of
myosin and actin past one another. This changes the shape of the muscle cell, and
thus produces force for movement. The release of Ca 2+ has also been shown to
result is that subsequent contractions within a short period of time produce greater
force. While Janice will go into depth on this mechanism, the following sources

then the signal travels back to the agonist muscle and initiates contraction. This
clear explanation of increased recruitment of higher order motor units can explain
findings.
