A&P Exam #3 Ch 9&10 1) Know the four (4) functional characteristics of all muscle tissues -Excitability or Responsiveness- The ability to receive and respond to a stimulus that is any change in the environment whether inside or outside the body. In the case of muscle ‚the stimulus is usually a chemical for example - a neurotransmitter released by a nerve cell‚ or a local change in ph. The response is generation of of an electrical impulse that passes along the sarcolemma of the

twitch-mechanical response to a single action potential. Electrical stimulus-muscle contractions. Latent period- during a contraction there is a rise in muscle tension. 2. What is the role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction? -Trigger action potential. 3. Describe the process of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibers. –The motor end plate produces potential and results in contraction of a single cell. 4.

nerve. The muscle contraction is caused by the binding of a neurotransmitter once the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction. Stimulation of the muscle and the sciatic nerve allows for recording and measuring of these properties. We observed twitch recruitment of the nerve and muscle length-tension relationship of the skeletal muscle‚ summation of skeletal muscle contractions‚ tetanus‚ skeletal muscle fatigue‚ and the effects of temperature on skeletal muscle contractions.

electroconvulsive treatment (ECT). The physician orders the neuromuscular blocking agent metocurine iodide (metubine) to reduce trauma by relaxing skeletal muscles. Explain the process of muscle contraction and how a neuromuscular blocking agent‚ such as metubine‚ would interfere with muscle contraction. According to the Mayo Clinic website electroconvulsive treatment is the use of an electrical signal that sent through the brain to intentionally induce a brief seizure. They claim this procedure

stainless steel. The stator consists of a primary excitation coil and a pair of secondary output coils. A fixed alternating current excitation is applied to the primary stator coil that is electromagnetically coupled to the secondary coils. • This coupling is proportional to the angle of the input shaft. The output pair is structured so that one coil is in-phase with the excitation coil‚ and the second is 180 degrees out-of-phase with the excitation coil. When the rotor is in a position that directs
