The Living Fiber For centuries man has gratefully accepted the protective qualities of wool. By the carefully crossbreeding of sheep‚ he has developed fibers of different lengths‚ diameters‚ and various degrees of softness and crispness. Wool is almost custom-made by nature to fit the needs of man. In its processing and manufacture‚ man takes up where sheep left off. But while new processes and treatments have made wool more versatile in its uses‚ man has not improved the fiber itself. Wool

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

processes involved in muscle contraction are cross-bridge cycling and the length-tension relationship‚ which normally function to maximize contraction in the muscle. Beginning with the activation of a motor unit‚ the ions flow from the motor unit towards the muscle fibers that it innervates by the motor neuron in the same way as a normal muscle would. However since the tissue is damaged‚ the force that is generated by these muscle fibers will not be as great‚ leaving the fibers less effective. Now

Endomysium- covers the individual muscle fibers Sarcomere- smallest contractile element of muscle fiber‚ extends from z-line to z-line Myofilament- responsible for contraction Striated- the color variations on the muscle fiber. Has to do with the amount of protein and the way it reflects light. Myosin- globular protein Bulb like heads come in contact with the active sites on actin Active sites are not exposed when in the resting position

Shape: The skeletal system gives the human body structure. It supports the internal organs that are held within the body in a network of tissue. Bones give us form. In sports support and shape are also used for example in a rugby scum‚ to body needs to be placed in such a way to keep the back aligned. Movement/ Attachment: The skeleton is jointed to allow movement. A joint is an articulation of two or more connecting bones‚ providing us with either stability or movement. Muscles are attached

ANIMAL FIBER Animal fibers are largely those which cover mammals such as sheep‚ goats and rabbits with well-known examples such as alpaca‚ merino‚ wool‚ fur and mohair. Animal fibers are natural fibers that consist largely of particular proteins. Instances are silk‚ hair/fur (including wool) and feathers. The animal fibers used most commonly both in the manufacturing world as well as by the hand spinners are wool from domestic sheep and silk. Also very popular are alpaca fiber and mohair

Advance Preparation—ATP Muscle Kit 1. Order the ATP muscle kits (Carolina) to be delivered no more than seven days before the lab. One kit provides generously for eight students. Extra vials of the chemical solutions can be ordered separately (Carolina) and will reduce waiting time. Just before the lab begins‚ cut the muscle bundles into 2-centimeter lengths and place in a petri dish in the accompanying glycerol. 64 Exercise 11 R E V I E W S H E E T NAME ____________________________________
