Determining the Latent Period 1. Click Clear Tracings to erase the oscilloscope display. The voltage should be set to 5.0 volts. 2. Drag the 200 msec button to the right edge of the oscilloscope. 3. Click the Stimulate button once‚ and allow the tracing to complete. 4. When you measure the length of the latent period from a printed graph‚ you measure the time between the application of the stimulus and the beginning of the first observable response(increase in force). The computer can’t “look ahead

Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 2: The Effect of Stimulus Voltage on Skeletal Muscle Contraction Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz 1. Skeletal muscle fibers are innervated (stimulated) by c. motor neurons. 2. A single action potential propagating down a motor axon results in d. a single action potential and a single contractile event in the muscle fibers it innervates. 3. In resting skeletal muscle‚ calcium is stored in c. the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 4. During the latent period

Great job once again on answering the question about how muscle action relates to the movement. I think maybe I took it to the extreme‚ I went on about agonist‚ synergist‚ and antagonist muscles. I wasn ’t sure if I should add the levers too. It appears as though you explained every type of muscle movement and gave an example of each. I went into flexion at the elbow and discussed that the agonist is the main muscle mover‚ the antagonist does the opposite‚ and the synergist is the helper. However

This means it generates its own rhythmic action potential independent of the nervous system. • sinoatrial node- is the impulse-generating (pacemaker) tissue located in the right atrium of the heart‚ and thus the generator of normal sinus rhythm. • pacemaker cells- are specialized cells that cause involuntary muscles and tissues to
