the arm. They don’t necessarily work against each other‚ but with each other in opposite motions. 4. This muscle is in a relaxation state because the striations are long and uninterrupted. They are at their normal long length. This means that the myosin has not binded to the actin. 5. Nerves are the autonomic branch of the nervous system. They lead to both smooth and cardiac muscle. They regulate the strength and rate of muscle contraction.Muscle Contraction Tutorial/Review Muscle Contraction

Cycles in Biology Cycles in biology play a fundamental role in the world that we live in. Cycles occur all around and inside of us in many different forms‚ from the Krebs to the Calvin cycle. There are large scale cycles happening and they are essential in regulating the nutrients and substances that are around us which without‚ life on earth could no function. One of the largest cycles that occurs all around us is in everyday life is the carbon cycle. The current atmospheric

and fascia. Actin major component in force production. Actin‚ when polymerized into filaments‚ forms the "ladder" along which the myosin filaments "climb" to generate motion. Myosin is a peptide that is responsible for force generation. It is composed of a globular head with both ATP and actin binding sites‚ and a long tail involved in its polymerization into myosin filaments When muscle cells are stimulated‚ they contract and exert a force in one direction. Stimulation of muscle cells is caused

INVESTIGATION OF PHYSIOLOGICAL & MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SKELETAL MUSCLE USING FROG GASTROCNEMIUS AIM The purpose of this experiment was to demonstrate the physiological as well as mechanical properties of skeletal muscle using the gastrocnemius muscle of a frog by exploring five different investigations namely the single twitch‚ the graded response‚ the relationship between muscle length and tension‚ muscle tetanus‚ and muscle fatigue. These individual experiments aim to explore the way muscles

Chapter 9 & 10 Short Answer and Critical Thinking CHAPTER 9 Short answer 15. Name and describe the four functional abilities of muscle that are the basis for muscle response. Contractibility- is the ability to shorten forcibly when adequately stimulated. This ability sets muscle apart from other tissue types. Extensibility- is the ability to extend or stretch. Muscle cells shorten when contracting‚ but they can stretch even beyond their resting length‚ when relaxed. Elasticity-
