Sliding Filament Theory | Muscle Contraction

In this video, Dr Mike explains how skeletal muscle contracts via the sliding filament theory (mechanism).

[@james2488]

If anyone has the right to lecture about muscles, it’s this guy 💪

[@BMSKKhairulHisham]

no doubt

[@anasdhmesi3889]

I agree

[@brounwynsmith848]

LOL

[@zakusa6693]

hes not even big

[@awradalotaibi9225]

Exactly ✨

[@flintsky2062]

What a great teacher. His enthusiasm is like he is acting in a drama you can see he loves doing this. Imagine if all teachers were like this. Also, I understood this in 20 minutes more than 1 hour lecture could teach me.

[@saahirakhan4955]

L}😅7😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅l

[@angelagoro5048]

I watched a couple of videos about the sliding filament theory and still not understanding the process, but he makes the process so easy to understand. You have explained the process better than my professor . Thank you!!

[@FearfullyandWonderfullyMade.]

Same here! Lol

[@sandeepchaubey2727]

Same

[@gholam6857]

I couldn't focus all day because I couldn't understand this.....but this man literally made it so easy to understand....thank you very much

[@esmfamil5086]

There are all these videos with fancy animations and yet none of them are as clear and understandable as the simple demonstration he did with his arm. What a truly gifted teacher.

[@Allaboutbarbiedolls]

Words cannot express how wonderful of a teacher you are. You turned something so complicated into something easy and logical. Thank you so much

[@sarahchong9616]

you are creating the future doctors of the world

[@aliciabryan6297]

It is so nice to finally have someone speak to you like a normal human and not a PhD Physiologist!!! Way easier to understand!

[@jattebaleyos116]

This is one of the best lesson that I've heard about sliding filament theory!! Thank you for the lesson Dr. Mike because this lesson truly helps me in Physical Therapy course. Much love from the Philippines

[@williamprincess194]

Thanks a lot to dr Mike for this easy and comprehensive lesson I can boast about knowing how the muscles contract. wow got deal with my test

[@kaylafett1804]

The Bike Chain and Padlock analogy is BRILLIANT! really helped me understand so much better. Thank you!

[@DrMattDrMike]

😊

[@chiquelemon]

I finally understand how the sliding filament theory works! Thank you SO much for this video, it really helped me to understand when you talked it through (ATP binding, ADP + Pi disassociating, myosin head cocked... etc) :)

[@NsubugaKevin-g4r]

Wow be blessed Dr. Mike. You've made my understanding of , muscle contraction easy. Long live sir.

[@imamastermind]

HE IS THE BEST TEACHER! I cant get over how simply he explains such conceptual things so easily such that it stays in memory forever! Thank you Dr.Mike !

[@aloksharma583]

This is so organized and structured. One cannot fail to understand what he is teaching. Simply the best explanation of sliding filament theory. I loved it. Big thank you.

[@kerryp7014]

Totally agree. Perfection witnessed.

[@megaparajuli4693]

The smile in your face indicates that you are really enjoying the process of making this video! Thank you for clarifying the concept!

[@alaaabdelfttah5371]

A high school student from Egypt, and I listen to the video to understand and delve more deeply into the curriculum😊thank u❤

[@fawadkhan1618]

Bro just dropped the best lecture on muscle contraction ❤

[@JigaLu008]

4 years of studying this and every semester I forget how this works. Love you man you are the best!

[@spencers8771]

I've been watching Dr. Mike since my freshman year as a Health Science undergrad, and now, as a senior about to graduate next semester, I can genuinely say you've been a cornerstone of my academic success and career journey. Thank you, Dr. Mike, for creating such quality content and for breaking down complex concepts in a way that makes them so much easier to grasp.

[@michelles6057]

All your videos are getting me through nursing school-- Big thanks from Canada!!

[@sankalpachakma]

Reading the textbook left me with such confusion, but your video has cleared my understanding. Thank you so much for this awesome video.

[@DrMattDrMike]

Glad it was helpful!

[@pranavnagarajan7853]

This is probably the best lecture on sliding mechanism you can find on youtube

[@conditionalbee9603]

Wow dude, amazingly explained. Love how enthusiastic you were lol, why can’t every teacher be like this?

[@melbagaitos6301]

Agree!!! His enthusiasm makes you wanna learn what he is teaching. Awesome teacher.

[@SarahWilson-y6c]

This is the best video I have ever seen on muscle contraction. Extremely helpful explanation and clarification. Thank you SO much!!

[@ainsleywheldon4249]

I've been taught this theory in high school, university, and in two different personal training certifications and EVERY TIME I go to review I realize just how much I didn't grasp this concept despite using multiple video, text, and tutor resources... UNTIL THIS VIDEO! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS!

[@berkyigitbulus]

It's one of the best educational video I've ever watched. Thank you!

[@SandraNieto-g8t]

[@KayaBayne]

Thank you for being the only person capable of explaining this

[@DrMattDrMike]

Too kind ☺️

[@Tierrittaa]

This explanation is so good. This takes me back to primary school when the teacher would explain everything through diagrams they'd draw on the board. Classic. Its my favourite way of learning.

[@iMusikkForeva]

You are CRYSTAL CLEAR. It's like you know the exact points we'd have trouble understanding so you go the extra step to make sure we know exactly what you mean, root up. Thank you so much for being such a phenomenal teacher!

[@evelynmeza888]

Hands down the BEST explanation of the sliding filament theory! I am taking the TEAS exam in a couple of weeks and just ran across this video. I will now have to watch them all! I've never understood this concept as I do now. Your also quite the cutie to watch if I must say. Will be following while in nursing school! Thank you again 😀

[@deliwemunyaradzi3413]

I have know words but to say thank you so much you have been such a huge blessing in my life. You are the best i have ever come across. My God keep you healthy and safe.

[@mamencita88]

[@JaseStuartBetterBodyAcademy]

This is the greatest explanation I have ever heard, I’m gonna watch it seven times

[@Goodallventures]

[@DrMattDrMike]

Glad I could help! 😊

[@patrickmcdermott8843]

[@Medcondria]

ok

[@dakotagilmour7913]

Sir, I know you made this three years ago but I just watched this today because I was Hella confused and I have a test tomorrow. You saved my ass. I finally understand. Thank you so much. I love you.

[@naveennandhanan547]

I am really passionate about teaching, which I see a lack of in a lot of professors that teach me. Looking at the way you teach, I really hope I can become a passionate teacher like you that can simplify this whole thing and still let the students absorb what you teach. Thanks for being, that is you ❤

[@fangli4743]

Wow, this lecture explains the sliding filament theory so well! Recommend it to anyone who is studying or curious about muscle contraction!

[@Medcondria]

ok

[@leviahlandau4936]

Your scale diagram was exactly what I needed. It's one of the hardest part of conceptualizing the Sliding Filament Theory

[@lokitekq7997]

I remember when my lecturer was talking about this it looked and sounded so complicated but Dr. Mike just made this so easy to comprehend.Thanks so much🙏

[@nazimhussain7730]

Your effort really deserves appreciation.. idk what was in this lecture I just stopped and watched till the end and in the end I was like wow j wow....❤and ur energy is great to see...loved it
