Preferred Label : excitation contraction coupling;
MeSH definition : A process fundamental to muscle physiology whereby an electrical stimulus or action
potential triggers a myocyte to depolarize and contract. This mechanical muscle contraction
response is regulated by entry of calcium ions into the cell.;
MeSH synonym : contraction couplings, excitation; couplings, excitation contraction; contraction coupling, excitation; coupling, excitation contraction; excitation contraction couplings;
Origin ID : D056966;
