Diseases matching- -Myopathy-any disease of the muscles. -Atrophy-polio, decrease in the size of a muscle due to lack of use following loss of motor nerve. -Contracture- cramp or charley horse, shortening of the fibers of a muscle, myotonia-muscle fails to relax . -curare-neuromuscular juncion, inactivating acetylcholine and thereby preventing the transmission of an impulse from nerve to muscle, flaccid (limp) paralysis results. -Eserine, blocks the action of cholinesterase and permit acetylcholine to act in an uninhibited …

…adp-atp - 273 b Atp to adp + p Glycogen stored in muscles breaks down to glucose. Glucose then goes into the reactions of glycolysis, the krebs cycle, and the cytochrom system. Through these complex chemical reactions 36/38 atp's are built up from 1 molecule of glucose. Creatin phospahte will give up A ''P" to ADP to reform ATP if needed. This only is a temporary way to rebuild ATP. The enzyme that drives this reaction is Creating Phosphokinase.
