    Activity 1: The Muscle Twitch And Latent

    Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber, motor unit, skeletal muscle twitch, electrical stimulus, and latent period. Skeletal Muscle Fiber: Skeletal muscle cells that are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells that produce muscle tension. These fibers are what move our bodies and generate muscle tension/force that enables us to have manual dexterity.…

    Muscular System Research Paper

    Muscular System: The muscular systems is responsible for maintaining posture, circulating blood, and movement. Visceral muscle is found inside of organs like the stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. The stomach secretes acid and enzymes that digest food. The muscular system also has another variant which is skeletal muscle. The skeletal muscles are attached to bones and move various parts of the body. The biceps, pectoralis major, triceps, nasalis, and deltoid are five major organs in the muscular system. The biceps main job is to control the movement of the elbow and shoulder. The pectoralis major make up most of the chest bulk. The triceps help extend and retract the forearm. The nasalis compress nasal cartilage. The deltoid is responsible…

    Workings of the Muscular System

    Skeletal muscle is under voluntary control. Nerve impulses that originate in the central nervous system cause muscles to contract. Both neurons and muscle tissue conduct electrical current by moving ions across cellular membranes. A motor neuron ends in a synapse with a muscle fiber. The neuron releases acetylcholine and transfers the action potential to the muscle tissue. The signal will travel through the tissue and trigger the contraction of individual sarcomeres. One synapse generally controls an entire muscle fiber. One motor neuron usually controls several adjacent muscle fibers. A group of fibers under the control of a single motor neuron is known as a motor unit.…

    Tension In Muscle Contractions

    Muscle contractions happen when muscle fibers are stimulated, which can cause one of many types of contractions. Isometric contractions, which means that tension happens in the muscle but there is no change in muscle length, therefore there is no movement of the muscle itself. An example of Isometric contractions would be strength training, such as holding a weight still, which happens in the biceps brachii. The biceps brachii the gets more tension, but the muscle length stays the same. As for isotonic contractions, which means that tension is in the muscle while there is a change of length, can be split into two types: Concentric contraction, in which the tension causes the muscle to shorten, and eccentric, in which the tension causes the muscle to elongate.…

    Skeletal Muscle Physiology

    Determining the Latent Period 1. Click Clear Tracings to erase the oscilloscope display. The voltage should be set to 5.0 volts. 2. Drag the 200 msec button to the right edge of the oscilloscope. 3. Click the Stimulate button once, and allow the tracing to complete. 4. When you measure the length of the latent period from a printed graph, you measure the time between the application of the stimulus and the beginning of the first observable response(increase in force). The computer can’t “look ahead,” anticipating the change in active force. To measure the length of the latent period using the computer, click the Measure button. Then click the right arrow button next to the Time window repeatedly until you notice the first increase in the Active Force window. This takes you beyond the actual length of the latent period. Now click the left arrow button next to the Time window until the Active Force window again reads zero. At this point the computer is measuring the time between the application of the stimulus and the last point where the active force is zero (just prior to contraction). How long is the latent period? _2.78_ msec What occurs in the muscle during this apparent lack of activity? The muscle is reacting internally and getting the signals to contract. Investigating Graded Muscle Response to Increased Stimulus Intensity 1. Click Clear Tracings if there are tracings on your screen. 2. Set the voltage to 0.0, and click Stimulate. 3. Click Record Data. If you decide to redo a single stimulus, choose the data line in the grid and click Delete Line to erase that single line of data. If you want to repeat the entire experiment, click the Clear Table button to erase all data recorded to that point. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, increasing the voltage by 0.5 each time until you reach the maximum voltage of 10.0. Be sure to select Record Data each time. 5. Observe the twitch tracings. Click on the Tools menu and then choose Plot Data. 6. Use the slider bars to display…

    Abbreviated Progressive Muscle Relaxation

    "Abbreviated progressive muscle relaxation (APMR) is a shortened version of Jacobson's (1939) original technique, designed to induce feelings of deep relaxation by systematically tensing and relaxing 16 muscle groups and by learning to focus on and discriminate between the resulting sensations of tension and relaxation." It has been proven that APMR has reduced levels of anxiety and stress, while increasing positivity. APMR has also has also relieved headaches caused by tension in some people (Chellew et al. 538). A study conducted by Joana Fornes-Vives was done to look at the responses to APMR in college students. Fifty percent of college students report that going to a university is a stressful time of their lives. Dealing with due dates…
