Muscle Contraction & Excitation Muscle excitation takes place when there is a synaptic transmission and induction of an impulse. There are six steps that take place during muscle excitation. (1)The action potential travels down the somatic motor neuron axon reaching the synaptic bulb causing calcium ions to flow into the synaptic bulb. (2)The increase of calcium in the synaptic bulb causes the synaptic vesicles to undergo exocytosis. (Exocytosis a process that allows large molecule to leave

What is the voltage beyond which there were no further increases in active force? Maximal voltage: 8.5 V 4. Why is there a maximal voltage? What has happened to the muscle at this voltage? 5. An individual muscle fiber follows the all-or-none principle—it will either contract 100% or not at all. Does the muscle we are working with exhibit the all-or-none principle? Why or why not? Yes be Multiple Stimulus Activity 4: Treppe 1. What do you observe? The Trace rise and fall

types of muscular tissue: skeletal‚ cardiac‚ & smooth. All 3 may share some things but they differ from one another in their microscopic anatomy‚ location‚ & how they are controlled by the nervous and endocrine systems Skeletal muscle tissue function of most is to move bones of the skeleton (are few that attach to other structures ex--the skin). Muscle tissue is striated b/c alternating light and dark protein bands (striations) are visible when tissue is closer examined. Muscle tissue action is voluntarily/activity

+Amendments for D2: Skeletal muscles allows for many different types of muscle contractions such as eccentric‚ concentric‚ isometric and isokinetic. These muscles are voluntary and the contractions produced have a huge impact on Wilkinson’s game. For example when he is striking a ball his quadricep contracts concentrically to produce force onto the ball. The more powerful the muscle the bigger the contraction‚ therefore if Johnny improves the strength of his quadriceps his kicking distance could

A muscle is a group of cells called fibers‚ and are generally quite big. One muscle fiber has a large amount of myofibrils‚ which are muscle proteins in the shape of cylinders. These myofibrils contain two different types of filaments‚ which run along the axis of the fiber in hexagonal patterns. The two types of filaments are thick and thin filaments. Every thick filament is surrounded by six thin filaments. Both thick and thin filaments are attached to a structure called the Z-line. The Z-line runs

A motor neuron‚ a nerve ending that is attached to a muscle fiber in Petzold’s huge bicep‚ sends a message to contract. This message goes to the neuromuscular junction‚ which is the connection between the actual nerve fiber and muscle fiber. As the message to contract reaches the terminals a neurotransmitter‚ a chemical messenger for the body‚ is released into the gap between the terminal end‚ and the sarcolemma and motor end plate called the synaptic cleft. The particular neurotransmitter is called

Abstract The purpose of this experiment was to use the muscle tension and the electrical activity in the dominant and non-dominant forearm muscle‚ the flexor digitorum superficialis‚ to analyze the determinants of muscle tension and fatigue‚ and the reasons as to why differences may occur between the dominant and non-dominant arm. The generation of tension in a muscle is determined by the major type of motor unit being recruited‚ as well as the rate in which action potentials are being fired. A subject
