2017 Motor Unit Recruitment and Muscle Fatigue Lab Introduction Human skeletal muscles are made up of hundreds of cylindrically-shaped cells called myofibers‚ and they are bound together by connective tissue. These muscles are stimulated to contract by somatic motor nerves‚ or motor neurons‚ that carry signals in the form of nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord‚ to the skeletal muscles. Although a motor neuron can innervate several fibers‚ each muscle fiber can only be innervated by one

axons of motor nerves meet the muscle‚ thus transmitting messages from the brain which cause the muscle to contract and relax. Every organism has thousands of neuromuscular joints which are the locations and means by which the motor neuron of the nervous system that instructs the muscle cells of the muscular systems to take action. Action that ‚ in turn lead to movements of muscles and other structures such as the tissues‚ bones‚ limbs that are controlled by muscles and it also causes the heart

Anatomy of Muscle Cells There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body. These muscle tissues are skeletal muscles‚ smooth muscles and cardiac muscles. Each of these muscle tissues has it very own anatomical makeup‚ which vary from muscle to muscle. The muscle cells in a muscle are referred to as muscle fibers‚ these fibers are skeletal muscle fibers‚ smooth muscle fibers and cardiac muscle fibers. The anatomy of a skeletal muscle fiber is formed during embryonic development

Your muscles are always moving. It is impossible to sit still. Your heart is always pumping‚ and your muscles make you breath and hold you upright. If your muscles all relaxed at the same time‚ you would collapse. You would not be able to survive without your muscular system. There are three types of muscle in your body: smooth muscle‚ cardiac muscle‚ and skeletal muscle. Smooth muscle is located in the digestive tract and in the walls of blood vessels. It moves food through the digestive system

organization of tissues into organs. The structures and functions of organs determine their relationships within body systems of an organism. Homeostasis allows the body to perform its normal functions. Explain how the muscular/skeletal system (skeletal‚ smooth and cardiac muscles‚ bones‚ cartilage‚ ligaments‚ tendons) works with other systems to support the body and allow for movement. Recognize that bones produce blood cells. For this unit you will submit all assignments through your shared “Flipped Resources”

order for a muscle to contract requires a nerve impulse to arrive at the neurotransmitter junction. This then causes a release of acetylcholine (ACh) from the presynaptic terminal. By binding with its receptors on the membrane of the muscle fiber‚ which opens sodium channels generating an action potential that spreads through the length of the fiber‚ stimulating release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium is what activates the contractile mechanism‚ causing the muscle fiber to shorten
