Kathleen thomason October 2‚ 2012 Skeletal Muscle physiology exercise Electrical Stimulation name each phase of a typical muscle twitch and on the following line. Describe what is happening in each phase. a) latent- is a short period between the time of stimulation and the beginning of contraction b). Contraction – at this stage the muscle reaches its peak in contraction. Relaxation -Muscle is shortened‚ returns to zero and back initial length.

Histology analysis There were five steps involved in histological preparation. Step 1: Dissection and tissues collection The testis tissues were cut with a sharp scalpel into slices of not more than 2-3 mm thick and 10 mm long. The fixation process was commenced immediately after removal of the tissue sample. The specimen tube was filled with 20 ml of 10% formalin. The tissue was placed inside the specimen tube. Step 2: Dehydration Dehydration process begins when the fixed tissues was

Histology Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? The purpose of this exercise is to become more familiar with microscope and slides through observations of tissues. By looking at so many slides I am now much more comfortable at identifying some basic structures. The tissue slides were very important to my understanding of the tissue’s function. By looking at the dense regular tendon I can see how supportive it is because of all of the fibers present. It connected what I had read and
