Pithing and Muscle Preparation. The method for pithing the frog and preparing the frog gastrocnemius muscle will be described by the instructor. The object of the pithing operation is to destroy specified parts of the central nervous system. In this case the frog is pithed as a means of immobilization and anaesthesia. Generally‚ pithing the spinal cord only is adequate. To skin the frog leg‚ cut the skin all around the upper end of the leg. Pull the skin down the leg‚ freeing it from

1.1 Glutamine: muscle metabolism Skeletal muscle is the major tissue responsible for glutamine synthesis in the body [9‚10]. In this context‚ glutamine anabolic effects in the skeletal muscle not only preserve lean mass‚ but also maintain plasma glutamine concentration in the body. Glutamine provides energy substrate to cells with a high turnover‚ nucleic acid precursors to cells of the immune system and is involved in the maintenance of acid-base balance [9‚ 11‚ 12]. The key enzymes in the metabolism

Muscle fatigue‚ or physical fatigue‚ is the decline in ability of a muscle to generate force. It can be a result of strenuous exercise but unusual fatigue may be caused by interference with the different stages of muscle contraction. There are two main causes of muscle fatigue‚ nervous fatigue and metabolic fatigue. Nervous Fatigue Nervous fatigue is the decline in the ability of a nerve to sustain a signal resulting in innervation of the muscle. The muscle’s ability to generate force is most strongly

There are a number of different methods to measuring strength. Including‚ strength tests‚ for example‚ bench press‚ squat and deadlift. However‚ to gain a precise amount of force production through a muscle contraction‚ a type of dynamometer must be used. The Biodex has shown to be reliable and accurate throughout numerous amounts of studies. To test force production‚ the main method is through an isokinetic test. One of the most reliable and advanced systems is the Biodex isokinetic system. Asundi

keep the muscles activated. To grant this the heart pumps higher frequency of blood increasing the heart rate. Heart pumps blood through arteries faster resulting in a high blood pressure. Exercise increases the stroke volume (the amount of blood pumped in one beat)‚ so an increase in stroke volume means that the heart can pump enough blood to the body with fewer beats per minute. Even after the exercise the heart rate will remain high for some time. The dilation of the active muscles increases

Plyometrics are training techniques used by athletes in all types of sports to increase strength and explosiveness. Plyometrics consists of a rapid stretching of a muscle (eccentric action) immediately followed by a concentric or shortening action of the same muscle and connective tissue. The stored elastic energy within the muscle is used to produce more force than can be provided by a concentric action. Researchers have shown that plyometric training‚ when used with a periodized strength-training

proper sequence to describe excitation-contraction coupling. Step 1 has been numbered for you. ___1____ 1. Acetylcholine is released by the axon terminal‚ diffuses to the muscle cell and attaches To ACh receptors on the sarcolemma. ________ 2. The action potential‚ carried into the cell via the T-tubules‚ causes the SR to release Calcium ions. ________ 3. Ach-E breaks down Ach‚ which separates from its receptors. ________ 4. The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens. ________

10 The unit of muscle structure that is composed of bundles of myofibrils‚ enclosed within a sarcolemma‚ and surrounded by a connective tissue covering called endomysium is a muscle fiber. The plasma membrane of a skeletal muscle fiber is called the Sarcolemma In a skeletal muscle fiber‚ Ca2+ is stored within the sarcoplasmic reticulum The bundle of dense regular connective tissue that attaches a skeletal muscle to bone is called a(n) tendon. In excitation-contraction coupling‚ the transverse
