how muscles contract‚ this is shown by the 5 stages of the sliding filament theory. When the muscle contracts‚ the myosin filaments attach themselves to similar actin filaments‚ this attachment causes formation in chemical bonds this then forms the cross bridges. Myosin and actin molecules are made in a series‚ this series is what makes up a muscle cell. This basic module is called the sarcomere‚ these are what gives the tissue of a skeletal muscle its appearance. The mechanism within muscle contraction

increases in voltage affect the amount of active force generated by the muscle? The force increased. What is the voltage beyond which there were no further increases in active force? 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

INTRODUCTION Smooth muscle fibers in different organs are distinctly different from each other in their physical dimensions‚ organization into bundles or sheets‚ response to stimuli‚ characteristics of innovation‚ and function. Smooth muscle is responsible for the contractility of hollow organs‚ such as blood vessels‚ the gastrointestinal tract‚ the bladder and the uterus. Specifically in the uterus‚ regulation of smooth muscle contraction is under the influence of an octapeptide known

Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how muscles contract‚ what makes muscles contract‚ different types of muscle contraction‚ and learn about how resistance affects muscle contraction. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Recruitment (or Multiple

BTEC Level 3 Applied Science Unit 1 – examiners report: Achieves P5‚ M2 needs to discuss different tissue types to achieve D2. In this essay I will include information regarding: cell differentiation‚ the functions of various cell organelles‚ tissues and a comparison of different tissue types. Cellular differentiation is the process by which a less specialised cell becomes a more specialised cell type. Differentiation happens a number of times during the development of a multicellular organism as

Evoked R-states with Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR) and yoga stretching Psychology 1100 051 The present article summarizes Ghoncheh and Smith’s (2004) 5 week study of the evoked effects of progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) and yoga stretching on R-states. Smith’s (1999a‚ 1999b‚ 2001‚ 2002) Attentional Behavioral Cognitive (ABC) relaxation theory proposes 15 psychological relaxation-related states (R-States): Sleepiness‚ Disengagement‚ Physical Relaxation‚ Mental Quiet‚ Rested/Refreshed

Lab #3: Isotonic contraction and the effect of load on skeletal muscles Abstract The job of the motor nervous system is to control certain elements in muscles simultaneously to ultimately produce movement. Movement of the body is the result of specialized cells directly associated with skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscle and must contract before movement can occur. We know the muscle team moving the arm is formed at the biceps and triceps. Biceps can bend the elbow‚ but

Almost as soon as the depolarization wave has begun‚ a repolarization wave follows it across the membrane. This occurs as b . Repolarization restores the h of the resting cell membrane
