He saw the cross-bridges form, the power strokes, the filaments sliding past each other like a thousand tiny oars. The muscle contracted. The elbow flexed. The dumbbell rose.

He wasn't just studying physiology anymore. He was becoming it. Page 104, section 2

"The excitement didn't stay on the surface. It ran down secret tunnels—the T-tubules—deep into the heart of the cell, to a place called the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum, a great underground reservoir of calcium. The action potential knocked on a door. 'Open up,' it said. 'The King commands movement.'"
