Every year‚ about 110 cases of botulism are reported in the United States. About 25% of the cases result from food‚ while 72% are infant botulism and 3% are wound botulism. Food-borne botulism is usually caused by eating home-canned foods that are contaminated with the toxin botulin. Botulin is produced by Clostridium botulinum‚ which is the name of a group of bacteria commonly found in soil. The bacteria grow best in low-oxygen conditions. The bacteria form spores that enable them to survive

Lab 6: Amphibian Muscle Contraction Results: For this experiment‚ Isometric contractions of the gastrocnemius muscle of a frog were analyzed and from this data the latent period‚ twitch‚ motor unit summation‚ tetanus‚ fatigue & mechanical summation were measured. The data was used to quantify the effect of passive tension on the twitch force‚ effect of stimulus intensity on the twitch force‚ effect of stimulus frequency on contractile force of xenopus gastrocnemius muscle.

Comment on Milton’s grand style. John Milton was highly ambitious to be the rival poet of all the classical masters namely – Homer‚ Virgil‚ Tasso‚ Boccaccio‚ and Dante. With this end in view‚ he mastered all poetic arts to write his long desired epic poems‚ Paradise Lost‚ and Paradise Regain.

As they attempt to understand
