How Muscle Works Inspiration From Gowers Analogy
Dr Gowers compares muscle contraction to a gas engine. Before contraction atoms are separated by motion. When stimulus acts fibers form closer compounds with oxygen, shorten and broaden, contracting the muscle. The energy concentration analogy is shown by coal mixed with air in a gas engine cylinder. The spark starts the reaction. materials are used up and a new fuel supply is needed before another contraction.
