exercise is to understand how muscle twitch‚ contract and react to different activities. Exercise 1: Muscle Twitch A. What is a muscle twitch? A muscle twitch is the fasciculation ‚ or "muscle twitch"‚ is a small‚ local‚ involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation visible under the skin. B. According to the graphs‚ which muscle has the fastest twitch? Why? The lateral rectus eye muscle has the fastest twitch. It has the shortest latent period‚ or the shortest period of time between the

it innervates. Whole muscle contraction is a(n) (c) response. In order for muscles to work in a practical sense‚ (d) is the method used to produce a slow‚ steady increase in muscle force. When we see the slightest evidence of force production on a tracing‚ the stimulus applied must have reached (e) . The weakest stimulation that will elicit the strongest contraction that a muscle is capable of is called the (f) . That level of contraction is called the __(g)__ . When the

produces movement and different types of contraction.(M3) Sliding filament theory. Each muscle fibre is made up of smaller fibres called myofibrils. These contain even smaller structures called actin which is a thin‚ contractile protein filament‚ containing ’active’ or ’binding’ sites and myosin filaments which are a thick‚ contractile protein filament‚ with Myosin Heads. These filaments slide in and out between each other to form a muscle contractions‚ this is why it is known as the sliding filament

titled: “Computer Graphing Using Microsoft Excel®” for help with this process. 2. Graph all three sets of data on one graph. Label the three muscles on the graph. Then‚ graph each muscle set on three separate graphs. Label the latent period‚ contraction phase and relaxation phase on the three separate graphs. Connect the dots of the scatter plot graph to make a line graph for each muscle. Data Table 1A: Muscle twitch of the lateral rectus eye muscle|| Time (milliseconds)|Tension (kilogram-force)|

Dynamic contraction Dynamic contraction refers to a contraction where movement is involved. An example is lifting of a dumbbell from either side to the shoulder. Static contraction‚ on the other hand‚ refers to a contraction where no movement is involved. Concentric and Eccentric A concentric contraction is a way of using the body’s muscles for physical tasks. A concentricmuscle contraction is a very common kind of muscle contraction. It is part of many basic physical exercises and everyday

Biomechanics of Injury: Notes Sports injuries are divided into two categories: Acute and Chronic Acute Injury Acute injuries occur suddenly when playing or exercising. E.g. sprained ankles‚ strained back and fractured hands are acute injuries. Signs of acute injury include: Sudden severe pain Swelling Inability to place weight on a lower limb Extreme tenderness in an upper limb Inability to move a joint through full range of motion Extreme limb weakness Visible dislocation/break

8. Isotonic contraction (“same tone” or tension) - In isotonic contractions‚ myofilaments are successful in their sliding movements‚ the muscle shortens‚ and movement occurs. Contractions in which the muscles do not shorten are called isometric contractions (“same measurement” or length). In isometric contractions‚ the myosin mysofilaments are “skidding their wheels‚” and the twnaion in the muscle keeps increasing. 9. Muscle tone is a state of continuous partial contractions.
