The outer layers of skin are the green, yellow, brown, and red layers at the top of the image (1). The subcutaneous muscle is the scaly pattern of light blue and gray at the bottom of the image (2).

This course takes integrative approaches to exploring architecture, physiology and mechanics of vertebrate skeletal muscle as the main driver of movements in organisms including humans. Combining ...

This cross section through the flight muscles of a dancer damselfly shows in blue the muscle fibers that the fly uses to flap its wings. You can also see the nerve that stimulates these muscles in red ...

Muscles can only contract and relax, so they always work in pairs called antagonistic muscles. Skeletal muscle is joined to bones. Its cells contract to make bones move and joints bend. Skeletal ...

Kurt “CyberGuy" Knutsson talks about how lab-grown muscles power a biohybrid hand for scalable prosthetics and research.
