Cross-bridge movements during a slow length change of active muscle.

N Yagi and I Matsubara

ABSTRACT

Tension changes caused by slow stretch or release of actively contracting muscle are accompanied by axial displacements of myosin heads (i.e., cross-bridges) from the positions characteristic of isometric contraction. The direction of the axial displacement appears to affect the rate of cross-bridge detachment or reattachment during muscle-length changes.
