Muscle Contraction
This 10 minute video by CrashCourse walks you through the complex and important relationship between actin and myosin.

Your skeletal muscles are constructed like a rope made of bundles of protein fibers, and the smallest strands are your actin and myosin myofilaments. Need to know more? Check out the video!
