Acetylcholine and muscular contraction


Without doubt, one of the leading evidences of which we are created and that we do not come from lengths and improbable, even impossible evolutionary processes is the amazing complexity of the human body. As all we know, unfortunately still there are scientific colleagues who create in fantasies and myths like the gradual evolution of the species, as well as in the operation and almost fortuitous assembly of all components and parts.

Today we will be reviewing some of the events that are related to the muscular contraction, and as the necessary factors for the correct operation of our machinery are several, which is an undeniable evidence of being the work of a Creator and not of fairy tales and speculative processes. Between these events we can find:


1. Action potential of motoneuron
2. Depolarization of motoneuron terminal
3. Ca 2+ enters motoneuron terminal
4. Acetylcholine (ACh)released into synaptic cleft
5. Ach diffuses across synapse
6. Acetylcholine binds to receptors
7. Depolarization of muscle end plate
8. Action potential in muscle
9. Liberation of Ca 2+
10. Increased intracellular Ca 2+
11. Actin and Myosin binds
12. Production of muscular tension because of filaments
13. Cross bridges pivot
14. Muscular relaxation

So, after all to drive of our muscles it does not seem as simple as before we believed no? In short, the totality of our capacities and our actions, physical, as mental and as much spiritual (related to God), is a fundamental part of the complete development of our being, and is ours to have to make a correct and suitable use of our faculties, like good administrators of our bodies.

“What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.” (1 Corinthians 6:19,20)

“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.” (Psalm 139:13,14)
