PhysioEx Exercise 2 Activity 1

1. The document summarizes an experiment examining the muscle twitch and latent period. It includes pre-lab and post-lab quiz results, experimental data collected on twitch force at different stimulus voltages, and responses to review questions. 2. The experimental data showed that changing the stimulus voltage altered the force of muscle contraction but did not change the duration of the latent period. 3. Excitation-contraction coupling is the process by which an electrical stimulus triggers a mechanical response by initiating calcium release and muscle fiber contraction.

Your answer:

Скелетни мускулни влакна: се скелетни мускулни клетки моторна единица се состои од


моторен неврон и влакна на скелетните мускули инервирани од тоа аксонални
терминали на моторниот неврон грчење на скелетниот мускул.

Електричен стимул е стимул што го активира потенцијалот на крајната плоча.

Латентен период е време помеѓу акциониот потенцијал и мускулната контракција.

2 What is the role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction?

Your answer:

Ацетилхолин се врзува за рецепторите во крајната плоча на моторот, иницирајќи


промена во јонската пропустливост што резултира со потенцијалот на крајната плоча.

3 Describe the process of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibers.

Your answer:

Спојување ексцитација-контракција е физиолошки процес на претворање на


електричен стимул во механички одговор. Тоа е врската меѓу акциониот потенцијал
генериран во сарколемата и почетокот на мускулната контракција.

1: Акциониот потенцијал се шири долж сарколемата до Т-тубулите

2: Калциумот се ослободува во саркоплазматичен ретикулум

3: Калциумот се врзува за актин и блокирачкото дејство на тропомиозинот се


отстранува

4: Главите на миозинот се закачуваат за да започнете со контракција

5: Калциумот се отстранува и местата за врзување на актинот повторно се блокираат


со тропомиозин

6: Мускулите се опуштаат.

4 Describe the three phases of a skeletal muscle twitch.

Your answer:

Латентен период: време помеѓу акциониот потенцијал и мускулната контракција

Контракционата фаза започнува на крајот на латентниот период и завршува кога


мускулната тензија ќе достигне максимум

Фаза на релаксација: временски период од врвната напнатост до крајот на мускулната


контракција.

5 Does the duration of the latent period change with different stimulus voltages? How well did
the results compare with your prediction?

Не, не се промени.

6 At the threshold stimulus, do sodium ions start to move into or out of the cell to bring about
the membrane depolarization?

Your answer:

Натриумот би се преселил во клетката за да предизвика деполаризација на


мембраната.
