Animals have three types of muscles; skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. This lab however is only concerned with skeletal muscle.

Q1 Muscle contraction can be understood as the consequence of a process of transmission of action potentials from one neuron to another. A chemical called acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened.

Muscles enable the body to sit‚ to move and to stand upright. They are attached by way of tendons to bones.
