of the bullfrog that was removed at the hip joint through careful dissection of the muscle away from the tibo-fibula bone while leaving the it attached to the knee and heel. The muscle was consistently moistened by Ringer’s solution throughout the entire experiment. The Achilles tendon was removed at the heel of the frog. The tibiofibular bone was cut below the knee and the femur below the knee (Frog Skeletal Muscle Experiement). The baseline value of the force transducer was set to zero. This zeroing

HOW MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY THEY NEED TO WORK 1) Muscle needs energy to contract and as stated previously the ‘universal energy currency’ of living systems is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is largely produced within mitochondria‚ organelles which are often referred to as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell. The ATP that results is used to provide the power for the muscle fibres to contract. Contraction itself (i.e. actual shortening movement) occurs when a bond is broken between ATP and one of its

Muscle Contraction & Excitation Muscle excitation takes place when there is a synaptic transmission and induction of an impulse. There are six steps that take place during muscle excitation. (1)The action potential travels down the somatic motor neuron axon reaching the synaptic bulb causing calcium ions to flow into the synaptic bulb. (2)The increase of calcium in the synaptic bulb causes the synaptic vesicles to undergo exocytosis. (Exocytosis a process that allows large molecule to leave

Great job once again on answering the question about how muscle action relates to the movement. I think maybe I took it to the extreme‚ I went on about agonist‚ synergist‚ and antagonist muscles. I wasn ’t sure if I should add the levers too. It appears as though you explained every type of muscle movement and gave an example of each. I went into flexion at the elbow and discussed that the agonist is the main muscle mover‚ the antagonist does the opposite‚ and the synergist is the helper. However

"seeing-doing" because your muscles seem to "know" and "remember" just what to do. What you’re learning now is speed‚ i.e. how to perform the task carefully and quickly. That’s muscle memory. Scientists call this "kinesthetic memory" or "neuro-muscular facilitation" and they speak of "sensory-motor" learning‚ since you are combining sensing input‚ i.e. what you see with your eyes‚ with motor output‚ i.e. what you do with your body. Of course‚ during the "drill-and-practice"‚ your muscles aren’t really memorizing

The White Man’s Muscles In today’s society‚ the naked white male body is found everywhere. It can be seen in print ads‚ including clothing catalogues‚ TV commercials‚ and especially in movies‚ yet the prevalence of the naked white male body is something that has only been embraced since the 1980s. Prior to the 1980s‚ half naked white males were hardly ever seen in popular film because of the negative effects it would have on male self-esteem and masculinity. People in our generation

Definition of Strength Strength can be defined in many ways and it can take on different forms in all of us. Strength is most commonly seen as a physical characteristic‚ but strength is also a mental and spiritual characteristic too. Strength is the state of being strong; bodily‚ muscular power‚ or mental power. Due to the mainstream media usually misinterpret this word by showing strength only in its physical form‚ but strength is seen mentally and spirituality. Physical strength is a good thing
