    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,” anticipating the change in active force. To measure the length of the latent period using the computer, click the Measure button. Then click the right arrow button next to the Time window repeatedly until you notice the first increase in the Active Force window. This takes you beyond the actual length of the latent period. Now click the left arrow button next to the Time window until the Active Force window again reads zero. At this point the computer is measuring the time between the application of the stimulus and the last point where the active force is zero (just prior to contraction). How long is the latent period? _2.78_ msec What occurs in the muscle during this apparent lack of activity? The muscle is reacting internally and getting the signals to contract. Investigating Graded Muscle Response to Increased Stimulus Intensity 1. Click Clear Tracings if there are tracings on your screen. 2. Set the voltage to 0.0, and click Stimulate. 3. Click Record Data. If you decide to redo a single stimulus, choose the data line in the grid and click Delete Line to erase that single line of data. If you want to repeat the entire experiment, click the Clear Table button to erase all data recorded to that point. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3, increasing the voltage by 0.5 each time until you reach the maximum voltage of 10.0. Be sure to select Record Data each time. 5. Observe the twitch tracings. Click on the Tools menu and then choose Plot Data. 6. Use the slider bars to display…

    The muscular system is what is responsible for the way that we move. Without the muscular system, we wouldn't be able to participate in the normal activities that we do today. There are 700 known/named muscles that are attached to the human skeleton. There are three different types of muscle that can be found in the human body. The Visceral muscle which can be found inside organs such as the stomach. This type of muscle is controlled by the unconcious part of the brain. This muscle is also known as the involuntary muscle. Cardiac Muscle is the second type of muscle found in the human body, and you guessed it, you can find cardiac muscle in the heart! Cardiac muscles are responsible for pumping blood throughought the human body. And these muscles…

    Muscular System: As I examined the muscular system I did not see why it could have been affected by the disease. The muscles can get glucose from the blood with the help of insulin. This helps lower blood sugar levels. But because this disease does not produce a lot of insulin it can not get glucose from the blood. This means muscles can’t get the “fuel” they need. This system is not affected by the disease because the patient did not have high blood sugar levels and his muscles look pink and health.…

    The human body is covered by muscles, made up of more than 650 of them. The purpose of the muscular system is for the body to move, maintain posture, and produce heat. There are three different types of muscles tissues; cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. There are also two types of muscles are in the body; voluntary and involuntary. The ones which we can move are the voluntary muscles; the ones which move on their own, like the heart, are involuntary muscles.…
