Descriptor English: Excitation Contraction Coupling
Descriptor Spanish: Acoplamiento Excitación-Contracción
Descriptor acoplamiento de excitación contracción
Scope note: Proceso fundamental de la fisiología muscular por el que un estímulo eléctrico o potencial de acción hace que un miocito se despolarice y se contraiga. Dicha respuesta de contracción mecánica del músculo está regulada por la entrada de iones calcio en la célula.
