    NPB 101L Final Exam Review Lab 2 – Skeletal Muscle 1. Describe basic setup a. What was manipulated? Intensity‚ frequency b. What was measured? Twitch tensions c. What concepts were investigated? i. Frog‚ sciatic nerve‚ gastroc‚ d. What was investigated? i. Effects of stimulus frequency and intensity on contraction-the more intensity‚ the higher the twitch tension. The more freq- the more twitch tension (By ~4.0pps we start to see summation of the twitches and by ~15pps we see no single twitches

    1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action potentials represent the

    Nerve Impulses ACTIVITY 1 The Resting Membrane Potential 1. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels. If the extracellular K+ increases then the concentration of intracellular K+ will decrease causing a decrease in the steepness of the concentration gradient and fewer K+ ions would be drawn out. 2. Explain why increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value. How well did

    its own rhythmic action potential independent of the nervous system. • sinoatrial node- is the impulse-generating (pacemaker) tissue located in the right atrium of the heart‚ and thus the generator of normal sinus rhythm. • pacemaker cells- are specialized cells that cause involuntary muscles and tissues to contract or dilate. • vagus nerves- carry a wide assortment of signals to and from the brain‚ and they are responsible for a number of instinctive responses in the body. 2.

    the heart muscles and this is how the heart pumping blood out to the entire body and how the heart contract. The stages of the pathway of action potential: 1) The Action Potential is in the Sinoatrial node (SA). Action potential then travels from the SA node to the AV (atrioventricular node) by crossing to the wall of the atrium. 2) Then the action potentials slowly pass through the AV node and it give time for the atria to contract. 3) Then it’s rapidly passes through the atrioventricular bundle

    to let an organism gain information about what is going on inside/outside body and how to respond to it. Three functions of the nervous system: • receive information; input • integrate information with past experiences; processing • Guide actions; output. Brain can adjust the impact of incoming information (can’t tickle oneself) Brain cells communicate by chemicals signals released by other cells. Made of separate cells Neurons: cells that are specialized to quickly respond to signals
