Skeletal Muscle Physiology The Muscle Twitch and the Latent Period 1. Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber‚ motor unit‚ skeletal muscle twitch‚ electrical stimulus‚ and latent period. Skeletal muscle fiber-fibers attached to the skeleton that produce muscle tension. Motor unit-consists of the motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers. Skeletal muscle twitch-mechanical response to a single action potential. Electrical stimulus-muscle contractions. Latent period- during a contraction there is

assume the distance within body and the ball. After that‚ the player must know what the step to make a distinct move to approach the ball. Backswing is the technique to balance the body while kicking. For leg cocking‚ hip have centric contraction before eccentric contraction. Proximal distal of skill‚ hip need to extend to the phase up and flexion. On the initial step‚ it will be hip extension‚ knee flexion‚ planta flexion and hip external rotation. On the leg cocking it involve with internal rotation

1. Fitness Conditioning Lambert (2015) states that muscle power‚ which plays a role in the interaction between the force of contraction and the speed of contraction‚ is related with the explosiveness of the muscle. The relationship between force and speed of contraction and the following point at which peak power occurs‚ differs between backline rugby players‚ as each backline player has a different body shape an different strengths and weaknesses. He then says that speed consists of a number of

Chapter 9: Muscular System: Histology and Physiology Multiple Choice 1. The capacity of a muscle cell to shorten forcefully is known as A) contractility. B) excitability. C) extensibility. D) elasticity. E) flexibility. Answer: a Level: 1 2. Muscles exhibit the property of excitability. This means that the muscle A) shortens its length. B) recoils to its original resting length. C) stretches beyond its normal length. D) responds to stimulation by the nervous system. E)

Pithing and Muscle Preparation. The method for pithing the frog and preparing the frog gastrocnemius muscle will be described by the instructor. The object of the pithing operation is to destroy specified parts of the central nervous system. In this case the frog is pithed as a means of immobilization and anaesthesia. Generally‚ pithing the spinal cord only is adequate. To skin the frog leg‚ cut the skin all around the upper end of the leg. Pull the skin down the leg‚ freeing it from

Extension; Hip extension/ Knee flexion. Major muscles involved include the quadriceps‚ the inner thigh‚ the hamstrings and gluteal region. Also‚ leg strength in the calve muscles is important. 2. Abdominal contraction (rectus femoris‚ obliques) 3. Shoulder flexion/extension; Elbow flexion and extension; Use of the lower and upper back. Muscles involved include the latissimus dorsi‚ rhomboids‚ trapezius‚ deltoids and the pectorals. *The upper body muscles are used mainly to prevent lateral movement

(Portfolio Task: Module 3) When you ask a patient to plantar flex a foot‚ what changes occur within the muscles involved? According to Maitland (1977)‚ the movement of foot in which ankle is bent is termed as Plantar Flexion. Posture where one stands on his/ her tiptoes or gas pedal of a vehicle is pushed‚ plantar flexion takes place. Through plantar flexion‚ ankle muscles and calf are relaxed so that they can properly work. The term “Plantar Flexion” is used to describe the movement of toe in
