How do Muscles Contract? Sliding Filament Theory | Corporis

Your muscles contract thanks to something called the sliding filament model, sometimes called the sliding filament theory. It involves a bunch of tiny proteins, actin and myosin, sliding past each other in an orchestrated little dance that every anatomy and physiology student has to learn.

Hi, I’m Patrick. I’m a freelance science writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Athletic Training and a master’s in clinical exercise physiology. I used to work in the clinical setting as a certified athletic trainer, physical therapy aide, and a certified strength and conditioning specialist. After working in the clinical setting, I went back to school and became a teacher. The goal of my content is to help normal people, not just pre-med students, learn about the human body. That might mean explaining a topic from an anatomy class or exploring a topic from medical history.

If Cooking with Corporis doesn't become a thing I will delete YouTube

The first thing that got me interested in biology was ATP Synthase...followed immediately by the whole process of muscle contraction. Realizing how much of biology is little machines has just blown my mind. I do wish I would have had your video when I first started learning, it was very "clean" I guess I would say. It was a good overview without too much of the nitty gritty.

My man when I see you have caught me more in your short videos than my anatomy professor has in whole lectures I mean it I thank you so much for what you’re doing on this channel

[MaiahMiller]

I wish I had you as my professor, this is fantastic! Waaay easier to understand that my Anatomy book

[xav]

This is the best and simplest explanation I’ve ever seen about this topic! I’m feeling emotional LOL THANK YOU!!!

[atem]

I agree with all the comments. grateful for how precise, detailed, accurate, and in-depth your videos are. brilliant.

[CuriousBiscuit]

Gotta love that Binging with Babish reference. Combining two nice channels into one.

Keep up the work! It's honestly underrated.

[edilvia.sanchez]

You have no idea how great this video was!! I feel so much better on the concept. Thank you!!

[jimmy]

i cannot handle the niceness this guy is radiating

[essie_muffins]

How does this guy not have more views, literally a perfect video

[michaelapatterson]

Love the videos you post. Always explained so well that I can understand. Keep up the great work!!!

[PlayTheMind]

So my muscle fibres are like velcro. That makes my running shoe straps very meta

[magdalenaalvarez]

more helpful than so many other videos I have watched on this topic.

I can't believe I just stumbled across your channel. Your subscriber count is VASTLY lower than it should be given the educational and productional value of your videos. Your presentation style is also very soothing (this is particularly nice considering I have a grad-school Biomechanics mid-term tomorrow lol). You've earned a subscriber.

[lamiyaabbasova]

you are just a fantastic teacher you explain the hardest things in the much easiest way. I spent my hours with videos that explain very long but with you it takes only few minutes. Thank You so much.

[whizkid]

this did a better job at explaining the concept in just 7 minutes than my physiology professor in med school... lol

[deannanorby]

I'm a massage therapy student. You are getting me through A&P. Thank you!

[venkatatejesh]

I think you are the frist western person which gives both of detailed information and free notes at no attachments...❤

[spaceparker]

I appreciate your regard for reasoning behind actions over simply memorising the process.
