Maximal voltage: ____8.5____ V Why is there a maximal voltage? What has happened to the muscle at this voltage? Keep in mind that the muscle we are working with consists of many individual muscle fibers. For the prevention of damage to the muscle. The muscle fibers cannot contract any further. An

the breakdown of damaged muscle tissues resulting in the release of muscle fiber contents into the bloodstream (Patel M.D.). This disease occurs when there is damage to the skeletal muscle. The breakdown products of damaged muscle cells‚ such as myoglobin‚ are harmful to the kidneys and frequently result in kidney damage or even kidney failure. The severity of the symptoms depends on the degree of muscle damage and the degree of the kidney damage‚ if any. The primary muscle damage can be caused by

Skeletal muscle is associated with the bony skeleton and consists of large cells that bear striations and are under voluntary control. 2. Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. 3. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and

Muscle Soreness Nearly anyone who works out regularly has experienced sore muscles after exercise. Sometimes you will feel it later that night‚ or the next morning and in some cases‚ you may actually think you are out of the woods‚ only to wake up two days later with stiff‚ tender muscles that feel as tight as rubber bands. For some people‚ sore muscles are a reward after a hard workout. In fact‚ some people are not happy unless they are sore after their workout‚ while others could live without

Muscle contractions tend to be smooth and vary in strengths‚ depending on the demands placed on them. The variations of strength are called graded muscle responses. There are two ways a muscle contraction can be graded‚ either by changing the frequency of stimulation or by changing the strength of the stimulation. When a muscle is responding to a change in stimulus frequency‚ the nervous system will reach a greater muscular force when increasing the firing of motor neurons. This causes a wave or

Stimulus-Dependent Lab A motor unit is a motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls. A whole muscle is made up of hundreds of motor units that are handled by different motor neurons that react at different levels of stimulation. The electric shock acts as an action potential by changing the membrane permeability allowing the sodium and potassium ions to pass through. At different levels of stimulation the motor neurons stimulate a motor unit and the more stimulation the more motor units become active. When

We have more than 600 muscles in our bodies. They pump blood throughout your body‚ and help you lift heavy things like backpacks‚ and textbooks. You could control some of your muscles‚ while others like your heart‚ have their own jobs without us thinking at all. Muscles are all made up of same material. A type of tissue like the material in a rubber band. Thousands or tens of thousands of small fibers make up all or each muscle in our body. There are different muscles‚ fibers‚ and contractions.

MUSCLE FATIGUE HOW DO MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY TO WORK? In muscles‚ it is essential that Calcium is present‚ as this gives the muscles the ability to contract and relax. For muscles to contract energy is needed: the energy can only be provided by the breakdown of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP). As ATP is broken down‚ a phosphate molecule is broken off‚ reducing the phosphate molecules‚ from 3 to 2. This produces adenosine triphosphate. However for the muscles contraction to continue

February 16‚ 2017 Motor Unit Recruitment and Muscle Fatigue Lab Introduction Human skeletal muscles are made up of hundreds of cylindrically-shaped cells called myofibers‚ and they are bound together by connective tissue. These muscles are stimulated to contract by somatic motor nerves‚ or motor neurons‚ that carry signals in the form of nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord‚ to the skeletal muscles. Although a motor neuron can innervate several fibers‚ each muscle fiber can only be innervated
