In this lab‚ we are measuring the EMG amp (mV)‚ or electrical activity‚ from action potentials produced from muscle contractions in order to gain an indication of the number of active motor units used in the contraction. This is done by adding more load to the muscle or force. There is examining of the EMG amp produced from a twitch at varying levels of muscle force and EMG amp from muscles when more load is placed on them. During the experiment‚ we set up the equipment‚ electrodes and software

Viany Reyes November 08‚ 2011 Dr. Dunaway Neuronal signaling in muscle contraction is triggered when an action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction. At this junction‚ acetylcholine (ACh) is the main neurotransmitter. Packaged in vesicles‚ ACh fuses with the neuron’s membrane and is released into the synaptic cleft. ACh diffuses toward the motor end plate and bind to the neurotransmitter receptor on it. The muscle fiber is then triggered to produce an action potential of its own
