Huxley model

The Huxley model describes how muscle fibers generate force through the interaction of actin and myosin proteins within muscle cells. It explains that when a muscle activates, myosin heads bind to actin filaments and pull, causing contraction. The model predicts how the number of active cross-bridges and their force contribute to overall muscle strength, considering factors like muscle stretch and actin-myosin overlap. Essentially, it provides a detailed framework for understanding the microscopic basis of muscle force production, highlighting the dynamic and complex nature of muscle contraction at the molecular level.
