Chapter 9: Muscles and Muscle Tissue‚ Lecture Outline: I. Overview of Muscle Tissues (pp. 276–278; Table 9.1) A. Types of Muscle Tissue (p. 277; Table 9.1) 1. Skeletal muscle is associated with the bony skeleton and consists of large cells that bear striations and are under voluntary control. 2. Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. 3. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and

Lab #3: Isotonic contraction and the effect of load on skeletal muscles Abstract The job of the motor nervous system is to control certain elements in muscles simultaneously to ultimately produce movement. Movement of the body is the result of specialized cells directly associated with skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscle and must contract before movement can occur. We know the muscle team moving the arm is formed at the biceps and triceps. Biceps can bend the elbow‚ but

Muscle Fiber contractions for our purposes begins with the arrival of action potential (action potential- is an electrical current) at the end of the axon terminal (axon terminal- the swollen distal end of the motor neuron axon). When the action potential reaches the axon terminal the action potential causes the voltage- gated calcium ion channels to open allowing calcium to flow in from extracellular fluid. The presence of calcium in the axon terminal causes synaptic vesicles (synaptic vesicles-

Skeletal muscle fiber- long‚ cylindrical cell with multiple oval nuclei arranged just beneath the sarcolemma Motor unit- all of the muscle cells controlled by a single motor neuron Skeletal muscle twitch- a single stimulus-contraction-relaxation cycle in a skeletal muscle Electrical stimulus- uses an electrical current to cause a single muscle or a group of muscles to contract Latent period- the time between the stimulation of a muscle and the start

Muscle contractions and stimulations play a very integral part in the functioning of an organism and muscles are especially function for force production and motion all this is highly influenced by specific temperatures‚ electrical impulses‚ proteins and enzymes and other factors that occur whether on the inside or the external environment of an organism (Amitrano & Tortora‚ 2012). Proteins as defined by Cheeke 2010‚ are molecules that are made up of amino acids and are responsible for almost all
