This contraction cycle is repeated as long as free calcium is available to bind the troponin and ATP is available to provide the energy. The signal to stop contraction is the absence of the nerve impulse at the neuromuscular junction. When this occurs, an energy requiring calcium pump located within the sarcoplasmic reticulum begins to move the calcium back into the sarcoplasmic reticulum. This removal o...

1,382 wordsThe ability to regenerate the tissues of the human central nervous system (CNS) is one of the greatest projects undertaken by biomedical engineers today. With this eventual technology, permanent paralysis and blindness due to CNS injury will be a thing of the past. Central nervous system injuries will be repairable, an idea that was, until recently, just a fanciful dream, something out of a science fiction novel. In the last few years, however, giant strides have been made to make the idea of CN...
