Skeletal muscle contraction occurs through a mechanism involving actin and myosin filaments. When a muscle contracts, actin and myosin filaments slide past each other, shortening the muscle fibers. This sliding occurs through a cyclical process of myosin heads binding to and detaching from actin, powered by ATP hydrolysis.
