Discuss in brief the sliding theory of muscle contraction.

Assertion: Mechanism of muscle contraction is expalained by sliding-filaments theory. Reason: Contraction of muscle fibre takes place by the sliding of thick filaments over the thin filaments.

If a small load is attached to a muscle that is then tetanically stimulated, the muscle will lift the load in an isotonic contraction over a certain distance and then stop shortening and enter a state of isometric contraction. If a heavier load is used, the distance shortened before entering an isometric contraction is shorter. Explain these shortening limits in terms of the sliding filament model of contraction and the length-tension relation.
