junction. The process of contraction of the muscle cell is called excitation-contraction coupling. In this experiment‚ when we used a single electrical stimulus‚ it resulted in a muscle twitch with three phases: latent period‚ contraction phase‚ and the relaxation phase. Activity 1: Figure 1: Identifying the latent period [pic] The Latent Period of time that elapses between the generation of an action potential in a muscle cell and the start of muscle contraction. The length of the latent

of Western Australia‚ WA‚ 6009 Introduction Smooth muscle contraction occurs when calcium is present in the smooth muscle cell and binds onto calmodulin to activate myosin light chain kinase (Wilson et al.‚ 2002). Phosphorylation of myosin light chains result in myosin ATPase activity thus cross-bridge cycling occurs causing the muscle to contract (Horowitz et al.‚ 1996). There are two known models of excitation and contraction in smooth muscle‚ electromechanical coupling (EMC) and pharmomechanical

filaments made up of actin and myosin. A longitudinal view of a myofibril reveals the reason for the striated appearance of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. The myofibril consists of repeating units‚ called sarcomeres‚ which are the units of contraction. Each sarcomere is made of overlapping filaments of actin and myosin‚ which create a distinct band pattern. As the muscle contracts‚ the sarcomeres shorten‚ and the appearance of the band pattern changes. When the muscle contracts‚ the sarcomere

Descending Phase ● Cue the athlete to maintain an upright position of the upper body during the descent by continuing to contract the posterior musculature in an isometric manner in order to avoid any potential anterior pelvic tilt. The athlete should continue to descend on their heels to allow for stabilization and optimal muscular recruitment. ● Descend into a ¼ squat position with a knee angle at approximately
