Ideas in this flowchart

  • Muscle contraction depends on energy delivery to the muscle.
  • Each movement consumes cellular energy.
  • Without an adequate energy supply, muscle function suffers.
  • Muscles can store energy from glucose as glycogen.
  • This glycogen-storage ability is shared with the liver.
  • Muscle glycogen is used differently from liver glycogen.
  • Muscles use all of their own stored energy.
  • Muscles do not export their stored energy to other organs.

"Muscle contraction relies on energy delivery to the muscle. Each movement uses up cellular energy, and without an adequate energy supply, muscle function suffers. Muscle, like the liver, can store the energy from glucose in the large polymeric molecule glycogen. But unlike the liver, muscles use up all of their own stored energy and do not export it to other organs in the body."
