    Activity 1 – The Muscle Twitch and Latent 1) Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber‚ motor unit‚ skeletal muscle twitch‚ electrical stimulus‚ and latent period. Skeletal Muscle Fiber: Skeletal muscle cells that are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells that produce muscle tension. These fibers are what move our bodies and generate muscle tension/force that enables us to have manual dexterity. Motor unit: consists of one motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers that

    muscle cell contraction: initiation of action potential in the sarcolemma‚ excitation-contraction coupling‚ and contraction‚ sliding of the myofilaments. ATP and calcium ions are two essential elements for muscle contraction. When ATP attaches to the myosin head‚ it gets hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. Calcium ions bind to the troponin molecules and help expose the binding sites of actin filaments to allow for the attachment of the myosin heads. After the sliding of the myofilaments occurs‚ a new ATP is

    Muscle contractions occur when our nervous system sends a signal via the neuromuscular junctions the signal arrives at the end bulb‚ the vesicles release acetylcholine and diffuse across the neuromuscular cleft. The transmitter molecules fill receptor sites in the membrane of the muscle and increase the membrane permeability to sodium. The sodium then diffuses into the membrane and the membrane potential becomes less negative. If the threshold potential is reached‚ an action potential occurs and a

    The two main 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
