A motor unit consists of a (a) and all the (b) it innervates. Whole muscle contraction is a(n) (c) response. In order for muscles to work in a practical sense‚ (d) is the method used to produce a slow‚ steady increase in muscle force. When we see the slightest evidence of force production on a tracing‚

between distribution of muscle fibre type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fibre-type distribution? There are four different types of muscle fibres: type 1‚ type 2a‚ type 2x‚ and type 2c. “A single skeletal muscle contains fibres having different speeds of shortening and ability to generate maximal force: type 1 (slow-twitch) fibres and type 2 (fast-twitch) fibres. Type 1 fies take approximately 110 ms to reach peak tension when stimulated. Type 2 fibres can

LAB EXERCISE 2 THE PHYSIOLOGY OF SKELETAL MUSCLE (Martini p. 306-316) Work in groups of 4 Objectives: Name and describe the phases of a muscle twitch. Explain why the "all or none" law is reflected in the activity of a single muscle cell but not in an intact skeletal muscle. Understand that the graded response of skeletal muscle is a function of the number of muscle fibers stimulated and the frequency of the stimulus. Define and explain the physiological basis of the following: - subminimal‚

isolated frog muscle could be made to contract when the sciatic nerve was irritated with a metal object‚ conducted the first muscle experiments between 1661 and 1665. Later‚ between 1737-1798 Luigi Galvani determined that frog muscle responded to electrical currents. The kymograph‚ which was invented in the late 1840’s lead to the revolution of experimental physiology because it enabled muscle contractions to be analyzed and recorded. The muscle cell or fiber is the basic unit of a muscle. The frog gastrocnemius

(The French Thermidorean reaction refers to the period after the Reign of Terror‚ in 1794‚ when the tyrant Robespierre was removed from power and an economically and culturally liberal government came to power.) This reaction‚ in turn‚ was due to Welch’s less creative‚ more opportunistic and more intolerant leadership during his last years of tenure
