Figure 8

Tibialis anterior muscle. Shown is the geometry of the muscle and the fiber distribution, where the fibers indicate the local membrane potential in color (a). The normalized muscle fiber membrane voltage (blue), normalized free calcium concentration in the myoplasm [ ] (green), and normalized active stress (red) are plotted versus time for motor units 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 (b).
