Clues

  • Always depolarise to threshold (9, 10)
  • Arranged in bundles, contain nuclei (8, 6, 5)
  • Bundle of muscle fibres (6, 8)
  • Fast and fatigueable (10, 5)
  • Fire action potentials when they reach threshold (4, 4, 10)
  • Increases number of myofibrils (10, 7)
  • Muscle consisting of multiple fascicles connected by connective tissue (8, 6)
  • Sarcomeres shorten, as elastic elements are already stretched the entire muscle shortens (8, 11)
  • Sarcomeres shorten, but elastic elements stretch, so muscle remains the same length (9, 11)
  • Sends electrical current through cardiac muscle cells causing waves of contraction (4, 6, 4)

I totally agree with the idea that meeting new people improves a person's mental well-being. It's amazing how connecting with others can bring such positive effects, check here. Whether it's making new friends, joining a club, or simply striking up conversations, it's a great way to expand our social circles and enrich our lives. Kudos to the post for highlighting the importance of social interactions alongside the fascinating topic of human cell physiology. Keep up the good work!
