Experiment 2: Skeletal Muscle ABSTRACT Frog skeletal muscle is used as an animal model to study muscle contraction. The objectives of this experiment is to demonstrate the physiological responses of skeletal muscle to electrical stimuli using frog gastrocnemius‚ to understand twitch‚ summation‚ tetanus and fatigue‚ to investigate the relationship between initial tension and force of contraction‚ to explore the differences between human and frog skeletal muscle. The threshold voltage is 0.4V. The

Lab 4: Skeletal Muscle Function Exercise 5: The Length-Tension Relationship Materials and Methods In this experiment I used a frog anesthetized with ms222. The frog’s skin is cut and removed from both the legs‚ the Achilles tendon is cut and the tendon and calf muscle are removed from the lower legs. The femur muscle is also cut. Attached to the legs are femur clamps which are connected to the transducer arm‚ stimulation electrodes are then positioned against the muscle. I plugged the output

length-tension relationships represent an important part in the function of skeletal muscle. When skeletal muscle is stimulated‚ passive tissue rapidly changes into dynamic tissue which can produce force. Furthermore‚ during this process‚ the length of muscle may decrease‚ increase‚ or remain the same. Moreover‚ the amount of power a muscle can produce depends on its length‚ velocity and stimulation Powers & Howley (2015). Muscle velocity and stimulation are normally in a constant when creating a length-tension

ABSTRACT: Skeletal muscle is able to repair itself through regeneration. However‚ an injured muscle often does not fully recover its strength because complete muscle regeneration is hindered by the development of fibrosis. Biological approaches to improve muscle healing by enhancing muscle regeneration and reducing the formation of fibrosis are being investigated. Previously‚ we have determined that insulin-like growth factor–1 (IGF-1) can improve muscle regeneration in injured muscle. We also
