Q1 Muscle contraction can be understood as the consequence of a process of transmission of action potentials from one neuron to another. A chemical called acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through

Muscle Tissue 1. How is muscle tissue categorized? Muscle tissue is categorized by its shape‚ the number of nuclei‚ and the mechanism of stimulation. 2. a. Click the Smooth Muscle Tissue. Identify each of the following: Nucleus----- Smooth Fiber Muscle------------------ b. Describe smooth muscle control (voluntary or involuntary). Involuntary c. Name some smooth muscle functions (click the “Tissue Locations” button). Smooth

LAB EXERCISE 2 THE PHYSIOLOGY OF SKELETAL MUSCLE (Martini p. 306-316) Work in groups of 4 Objectives: Name and describe the phases of a muscle twitch. Explain why the "all or none" law is reflected in the activity of a single muscle cell but not in an intact skeletal muscle. Understand that the graded response of skeletal muscle is a function of the number of muscle fibers stimulated and the frequency of the stimulus. Define and explain the physiological basis of the following: - subminimal‚

Sample Physiology MCQs 1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action

For this assignment we are looking at the skeletal system. The skeleton is the internal framework of our body. It is made up of three things; bones‚ cartilage and joints. Without these three things we would just be a heap of skin‚ muscle and internal organs. The skeleton is made up of 206 bones that are separated into two groups. Firstly‚ the Axial Skeleton. The Axial skeleton is made up of 80 different bones whereas the Appendicular skeleton is made up of 126 bones. The Axial Skeleton The axial

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

Muscles are all made of the same materials‚ a type of flexile tissue of thousands narrow tissues that make up all the muscles. There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body which are Cardiac‚ Smooth and Skeletal Muscles. Cardiac Muscles are muscles that conduct‚ forced‚ being completely in heart‚ responsible for pumping activity of heart‚ very heavy and solid. Smooth are non band‚ not under voluntary force found in comfortable organs of body accountable for growth like absorption of food
