FROG MUSCLE PHYSIOLOGY 2) What was the smallest voltage required to produce max contraction? What proportion of the muscle fibers in the muscle do you think were contracting to produce this maximal response? Muscle fibers act in response to isolated stimuli in an all or none fashion. However‚ a muscle organ‚ such as the gastrocnemius muscle‚ is composed of many individual muscle fibers. It is known that all of the fibers in a muscle do not have the same threshold and that a stimulus applied to

The cardiac cycle is one complete heart beat. During the cycle each atrium and ventricle will contract and relax once. THe contraction of the chamber is called systole and the relaxation is called diastole. The average

Laboratory – Muscle Physiology A. MUSCLE TONUS Observations‚ Report and Conclusion: A. Define muscle tonus and give its importance * Muscle tonus refers to a state of slight muscular contraction maintained by synchronous impulses of low frequency‚ discharged by the spinal motor neurons. * Reflex in nature. * Muscle tonus is a small amount of tension in the muscle due to weak‚ involuntary contractions of its motor units. Muscle tonus is important in a sense that it governs the

The Physiology and Pathophysiology of the Skin Abstract The 5-HT3 receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel located in the central and peripheral nervous system; it has also been detected on a variety of other cells. In the periphery‚ it is found on autonomic neurons and on neurons of the sensory and enteric nervous system. In the CNS‚ the 5-HT3 receptor has been localized in the area postrema‚ nucleus tractus solitarii‚ nucleus vaudatus‚ nucleus accumbens‚ amygdala‚ hippocampus‚ entorhinal‚

Enzymes are organic catalysts‚ usually proteins that speed up metabolic reactions. They lower the amount of energy needed for reactions to progress in cells. In enzymatic activity‚ the molecules at the beginning are called substrates. Lactose metabolism is when lactose is destroyed‚ maintained or produced. For instance‚ being lactose intolerance that’s where lactose is destroyed. Metal cofactors in enzyme activity are required to function properly. The Effect of Temperature on Enzymatic Activity:

[pic] THE KNIFE by Richard Selzer One holds the knife as one holds the bow of a cello or a tulip: by the stem. Not palmed nor gripped nor grasped‚ but lightly‚ with the tips of the fingers. The knife is not for pressing. It is for drawing across the field of skin. Like a slender fish‚ it waits‚ at the ready‚ then‚ go! It darts‚ followed by a fine wake of red. The flesh parts‚ falling away to yellow globules of fat. Even now‚ after so many times‚ I still marvel at its power--cold‚

D2. Explain the importance of homeostasis in maintaining the healthy functioning of the body. Homeostasis is vital for the maintenance of healthy functioning of the body. It is important the body keeps to a narrow range of variables‚ and without it ‚ chemical reactions and metabolic processes within the body cannot be carried out properly‚ which can cause disease and complications. If the body cannot maintain its temperature‚ this can cause the person to overheat‚ resulting in hyperthermia. This
