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

REVIEW SHEET EXERCISE 2 Skeletal Muscle Physiology NAME: LAB TIME/DATE:9pm.. 4.8.11 Electrical Stimulation 1. Name each phase of a typical muscle twitch‚ and‚ on the following line‚ describe what is happening in each phase. a. Latent-stage from rest to muscle tension begins b. Contraction-At this stage the muscle reaches its peak in contraction c. Relaxation- muscle is shortened‚ returns to zero and back initial length. 2. In Activity 2‚ how long was the latent period? ___2

Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how muscles contract‚ what makes muscles contract‚ different types of muscle contraction‚ and learn about how resistance affects muscle contraction. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Recruitment (or Multiple

Virtual lab 9 Activity 2: Determining the Latent Period 1. How long is the latent period? 2.78 msec. 2. What occurs in the muscle during this apparent lack of activity? Ca++ is being released from the sacroplasmic reticulum and filament movement is taking up slack. Activity 3: Investigating Graded Muscle Response to Increased Stimulus Intensity 1. Use your graph to answer and note that the dot in the graph turns red when you select that line in the table. What is the minimal‚ or threshold

there is a significant drop in the amplitude of the contractions‚ when the ileum is stimulated. This is due to higher voltage having higher inhibition‚ resulting in greater reduction in the response. 2) What is the frequency of the regular spontaneous contractions of the ileum? What causes these spontaneous contractions? Attach a copy of your experimental recordings showing the response to stimulating the nerves with the maximal voltage at both 5 Hz and 50 Hz. 3) Explain the
