A cheetah, on seeing a prey, moves towards him at a very high speed.
What causes the movement of his muscles? How does the chemistry of
cellular components of muscles change during this event ?​

Adrenaline secretion due to intense activity , change in muscle shape, special proteins called contractile proteins  and contraction & relaxation of muscle cells

Explanation:

  • The photoreceptors sensed the cheetah 's presence (stimulus), which is transmitted to the central nervous system (CNS). The response then goes into the neurons. At the end of the axonal &,  acetylcholine, a chemical, is released   by axonal bulbs in the synapse at the "neuromuscular junction" .
  • Special proteins known as "actin & myosin" that contribute to shifting muscle cell orientation. Continuous relaxation & contraction of muscle contribute to muscle activity.  The strong leg muscles are triggered automatically. With the "streamlined body design" these muscles help   the the cheetah -race to its prey  
  • The hormone system also plays an important role in combination with the nervous system. The "flight or fight action" is caused by Adrenalin released by adrenal glands. The blood flow of the muscles is enhanced for the action.

Answer:  

Explanation:

On seeing the prey, an impulse is sent from the brain to the muscles in it’s limbs so that the cheetah can run towards the prey.

Muscles have special proteins that change both their shape and their arrangement in the cells, new arrangement of the proteins give different forms to the muscle cells, i.e. Shorter or Larger form.

Therefore, the cheetah is able to run after the prey due to the arrangement of cellular components (proteins) in the muscles.
