Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 3: The Effect of Stimulus Frequency on Skeletal Muscle Contraction Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly. 1. During a single twitch of a skeletal muscle You correctly answered: b. maximal force is never achieved. 2. When a skeletal muscle is repetitively stimulated‚ twitches can overlap each other and result in a stronger muscle contraction than a stand-alone twitch. This phenomenon is known as

Fewer intracellular K+ ions would result in the membrane potential being less negative. This is what I predicted to happen. 3. Explain why a change in extracellular Na+ did not significantly alter the membrane potential in the resting neuron? Your answer: There are less sodium leak channels than potassium leak channels‚ and more of the potassium channels are open. 4. Discuss the relative permeability of the membrane to Na+ and K+ in a resting neuron. Your answer: Membrane permeability to

Activity 1 1. Increasing extracellular K+ reduces the net diffusion of K+ out of the neuron through the K+ leak channels because the membrane is permeable to K+ ions. Therefore‚ the K+ ions will diffuse down its concentration gradient from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration. 2. Increasing extracellular K+ causes the membrane potential to change to a less negative value because the K+ ions diffuse out across the membrane. My results went well compared to my prediction

Activity 1 Pre-Lab Quiz K+ inside a cell = 150 mM; K+ outside a cell = 5 mM Na+ inside a cell = 5 mM; Na+ outside a cell = 150 mM Stop & Think question What is the polarity of the resting membrane potential (voltage)? Negative What does it mean that the voltage just inside the membrane is negative? B Membrane of most cells contains K+ leak channels…..b What will happen to the resting membrane potential if the extracellular K+ concentration is increase? Less negative What happens

Activity 1: Electrical Stimulation 1. Do you see any kind of response on the oscilloscope screen? NO 2. What was the threshold voltage‚ or the voltage at which you first saw an action potential? 3.0 V 3. How does this tracing compare to the one that was generated at the threshold voltage? The tracing travel in the same fashion but the tracing were different with an increase threshold voltage 4. What reason can you give for the change? Increase voltage 5. Record this maximal voltage here:

Activity FOUR There is a direct relationship between the MWCO and the filtration rate; the higher the MWCO‚ the higher the filtration rate. Powdered charcoal is the solute that did not appear in the filtrate when using any MWCO membranes. As pressure increases‚ the filtration rate also increases‚ as long as the MWCO does not decrease. Since we have no control over the MWCO of a living membrane‚ we can increase the rate of filtration by increasing the pressure. The molecular weight

LAB ONE: Exercise 4 – Endocrine System Activity 1: Metabolism and Thyroid Hormone Part 1: 1. The normal rat had the fastest basal metabolic rate. 2. The metabolic rates differed between the normal rat and the surgically altered rats because the surgically altered rats didn’t have a thyroid or pituitary gland and therefore‚ the normal rat had a faster basal metabolic rate. The results turned out to be the way I predicted them to be. 3. T3 and T4 would be missing in the animal’s blood
