T-tubule

Tubular extensions of the cell membrane in muscle cells, which play a critical role in the conduction of electrical signals for muscle contraction.

Action Potential

A short-lasting event in which the electrical membrane potential of a cell rapidly rises and falls, allowing nerve cells to communicate.

Contractile Organelle

A cell component that is involved in the contraction and movement processes, such as muscle fibers.

Electromyogram

A diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them by recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.
