filaments must slide past one another (Widmaier 2011). Muscle fibers are innervated by motor neurons. A motor unit is a single motor neuron and all muscle fibers it innervates. Contraction occurs through a mechanism called excitation-contraction coupling when an action potential propagates down a motor neuron axon to initiate contraction. As the action potential then travels down these transverse tubules it opens ion channels‚ which releases calcium into the sarcoplasm. When this calcium is released‚ binding

Regarding Figure 1‚ the regular heartbeat and contraction force of the toad was identified to demonstrate the difference between atrial contractions and ventricular contractions in a normal environment. In cardiac‚ skeletal‚ and some smooth muscle tissue‚ contraction occurs through a spectacle known as excitation contraction coupling (Freeman et al.‚ 2014). This process converts electrical stimulus from the neurons into a mechanical

Muscle Contraction Results: For this experiment‚ Isometric contractions of the gastrocnemius muscle of a frog were analyzed and from this data the latent period‚ twitch‚ motor unit summation‚ tetanus‚ fatigue & mechanical summation were measured. The data was used to quantify the effect of passive tension on the twitch force‚ effect of stimulus intensity on the twitch force‚ effect of stimulus frequency on contractile force of xenopus gastrocnemius muscle. The threshold voltage obtained was 0.4
