Results A left gastrocnemius muscle of a frog (L=3.2cm in situ) was used in experiment 1 and 2‚ while a right gastrocnemius muscle of a frog (L=3.4cm in situ) was used in experiment 3. The sciatic nerve of the frog was placed over the stimulatory electrodes covered with a piece of a Kimwipe moistened with Ringer’s solution. The relationship between muscle length‚ force production and velocity of contraction was studied. Force transduced calibration In order to get a more accurate data from force

workload doubles. The muscles can hold a higher workload if they originally have a higher threshold of stimulation with no workload at all. 2. Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? A muscle’s threshold of stimulation changes as its workload changes because the muscle needs more stimulation and more power to contract. 3. Which muscles were able to contract under the greatest loads? What does this suggest about the role these muscles play in frog movement

Prior to injecting the neurotoxin‚ Tubocurare‚ inside the gastrocnemius muscle‚ a control was established. The baseline was maintained approximately at 20 grams. The control used the maximum voltage of 0.75 volts for the stimulus input. As a result‚ the tension produced 68.13 grams of force. The moment Tubocurare was infused into the gastrocnemius muscle‚ the muscle tension dropped to 47.7 grams of force. Data was recorded for 10 minutes‚ and as predicted prior to the experiment‚ the tension trend

threshold of stimulation will increase by 1. The muscles that have a higher threshold of stimulation can take on a high workload if it originally had no workload. 2. . Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? The muscle will need a higher stimulation and work harder to be able to contract. 3. Which muscles were able to contract under the greatest loads? What does this suggest about the role these muscles play in frog movement? The thigh and calf contracted

recessive “mini-muscle” phenotype in mice. Smaller body size and muscles as well as increased maximal oxygen intake are observed in mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype. This observation raises an issue about why the selectively bred mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype have reduced triceps and thigh muscle mass as they are able to cover greater distances; due to faster running speed‚ on an activity wheel compared to normal mice. However‚ greater exercise and load is thought to result in muscle hypertrophy

There are three phases for muscle cell contraction: initiation of action potential in the sarcolemma‚ excitation-contraction coupling‚ and contraction‚ sliding of the myofilaments. ATP and calcium ions are two essential elements for muscle contraction. When ATP attaches to the myosin head‚ it gets hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. Calcium ions bind to the troponin molecules and help expose the binding sites of actin filaments to allow for the attachment of the myosin heads. After the sliding of the myofilaments
