Back And Forth....
a: Shortening sarcomere ~
b: movements of a person rowing a crew boat
What: "In many ways, the interaction of actin and myosin in a shortening sarcomere is like the movements of a person rowing a crew boat. The rower has to prepare her/his body for the power stroke, and then the oar is put in the water. Next the rower releases her/his energy as the person pulls on the oar and the blade of the oar moves through the water." See the link for a video....

METAMIA is a free database of analogy and metaphor. Anyone can contribute or search. The subject matter can be anything. Science is popular, but poetry is encouraged. The goal is to integrate our fluid muses with the stark literalism of a relational database. Metamia is like a girdle for your muses, a cognitive girdle.
