Lab 3 – Skeletal Muscle Physiology Introduction Skeletal muscles are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells‚ each doing their share of work in the production of force. As their name suggests‚ skeletal muscles move the skeleton. Skeletal muscles are remarkable machines; while allowing us the manual dexterity to create magnificent works of art‚ they are also capable of generating the brute force needed to lift a 100-lb. sack of concrete. When a skeletal muscle from an experimental

Muscle contractions tend to be smooth and vary in strengths‚ depending on the demands placed on them. The variations of strength are called graded muscle responses. There are two ways a muscle contraction can be graded‚ either by changing the frequency of stimulation or by changing the strength of the stimulation. When a muscle is responding to a change in stimulus frequency‚ the nervous system will reach a greater muscular force when increasing the firing of motor neurons. This causes a wave or

having that desired muscle growth and physique you aim is not really on how much time you spend or how many days you check in at the gym. It is not even the number of repetitions or the heavy weights you lift every day. Often‚ the key is really on choosing the best workout program for building muscle that suits you. The best workout program for building muscle is actually the most basic free weight compound exercises. These exercises are single exercises that will target several muscle groups at once

Skeletal Muscle Cell There are millions of different types of cells in the world. They are located everywhere. Some are more known than others. The skeletal muscle cell was studied by many scientist but two important scientist are Alexander Mauro and Bernard Katz. They discovered a lot about thee skeletal muscle cell. The skeletal muscle cell is located everywhere in the body. Skeletal muscle cells are attached to bones by tendons as well in some areas the skin. Skeletal muscle cells are

The series of events prompting muscle contraction is started some place in the central nervous system‚ either as willful action from the brain or as reflex action from the spinal cord. Beginning with depolarization at the neuromuscular junction‚ the depolarizing impulse discharges acetylcholine from the nerve ending. Which then diffuses over the neuromuscular junction (a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber). At the motor end plate‚ the acetylcholine joins

musculoskeletal. Here you need to identify all of the acute changes that take place within this system and then relate this to a sporting example. Some of the changes you need to discuss are: Increased blood supply‚ increase in muscle pliability‚ increased range of movement and muscle fibre micro tears. Example Answer Increases the range of movement – when we start to exercise the movements of our joints means that synovial fluid starts to secrete within the joints. The fluid becomes less viscous

1.) What muscle did the winging of the scapula suggest to be paralysed? Why does this sign occur? The muscle that was suggested to be paralysed due to the winging of the scapula is the Serratus Anterior muscle. The Serratus Anterior muscle’s origin is situated on the external surface of the lateral surfaces of the upper 8 to 9 ribs (ribs 1 to 8) while the insertion of this muscle is located on the costal surface of the medial border of the scapula. Therefore‚ this muscle is innervated by the long
