REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 2 Skeletal Muscle Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE:9pm.. 4.8.11 Electrical Stimulation 1. Name each phase of a typical muscle twitch‚ and‚ on the following line‚ describe what is happening in each phase. a. Latent-stage from rest to muscle tension begins b. Contraction-At this stage the muscle reaches its peak in contraction c. Relaxation- muscle is shortened‚ returns to zero and back initial length. 2. In Activity 2‚ how long was the latent period? ___2

Skeletal Muscle Lab Introduction: Motor neurons and muscle fibers are the building blocks of motor units and where they intersect is called the neuromuscular junciton. The region where the flattened end of a motor neuron transmits neural impulses to a muscle is the motor end-plate. The end plate potentials depolarizes skeletal muscle fibers caused by neurotransmitters binding to the postsynaptic membrane in the neuromuscular junction. The process of contraction of the muscle cell is called excitation-contraction

Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how muscles contract‚ what makes muscles contract‚ different types of muscle contraction‚ and learn about how resistance affects muscle contraction. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Recruitment (or Multiple

Virtual lab 9 Activity 2: Determining the Latent Period 1. How long is the latent period? 2.78 msec. 2. What occurs in the muscle during this apparent lack of activity? Ca++ is being released from the sacroplasmic reticulum and filament movement is taking up slack. Activity 3: Investigating Graded Muscle Response to Increased Stimulus Intensity 1. Use your graph to answer and note that the dot in the graph turns red when you select that line in the table. What is the minimal‚ or threshold

The muscle physiology of skeletal muscle was observed by using electrical‚ physical‚ and neural stimulations of an isolated gastrocnemius muscle from Rana pipiens. The gastrocnemius receives signals from the action potentials of the sciatic nerve. The muscle contraction is caused by the binding of a neurotransmitter once the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction. Stimulation of the muscle and the sciatic nerve allows for recording and measuring of these properties. We observed twitch

Lab 3 – Skeletal Muscle Physiology Introduction Skeletal muscles are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells‚ each doing their share of work in the production of force. As their name suggests‚ skeletal muscles move the skeleton. Skeletal muscles are remarkable machines; while allowing us the manual dexterity to create magnificent works of art‚ they are also capable of generating the brute force needed to lift a 100-lb. sack of concrete. When a skeletal muscle from an experimental

The muscular system has three types of muscle: skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. However‚ the main focus will be on the skeletal muscles and how they contract‚ as well as fatigue and respond to changes in temperature. In terms of the anatomy of the skeletal muscle‚ it is connected to bones by tendons‚ enabling movement. The muscle has layers around its main body: the fascia and the epimysium. A muscle is made up of many fascicles‚ bundles of myofibers (muscle cell) surrounded by perimysium. Each myofibers
