Group 4 should become experts on excitation-contraction coupling. 5. Group 5 should become experts on summation and tetanus. 6. Group 6 should become experts on smooth muscle contraction. 7. What are the three types of muscle found in the human body? Where can you find each‚ and what does each do? Cardiac – found in the heart Smooth – internal organs and tubes‚ stomach‚ urinary bladder Skeletal – attached to bones 8. What controls the contraction of the different types of muscle

Module Question Answer 8.1 (b) Describe the components of a synovial Joint‚ and identify the functions of each. Components of a synovial joint are: Fibrous articular capsule (or joint capsule)‚ which surrounds the joint Articular cartilages‚ which resemble hyaline cartilages and cover the articulating bone surfaces Synovial fluid‚ which is located within the joint cavity and provides lubrication‚ distributes nutrients‚ and absorbs shocks 8.2 (a) Identify the types of synovial joints based

and aponeurosis is fibrous or membranous sheet connecting a muscle and the part it moves. 17. (a) Describe the structure of a sarcomere and indicate the relationship of the sarcomere to myofilaments. (b) Explain the sliding filament model of contraction using appropriately labeled diagrams of a relaxed and contracted sarcomere. (a.) The region of a myofibril between two successive Z discs is a sarcomere. It averages 2 micrometers long and is the smallest contractile unit of a muscle fiber. It

muscle twitch: contraction of small muscle units by impulses in the neurons supplying it electrical stimulus: an electrical current used to cause a single muscle or a group of muscles to contract latent period: delay between recieving a stimulus and the response 2. What is the role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction? Your answer: Ach is the chemical signal used to send to the muslce to cause contraction. 3.

Complete the chart of participants of the sliding filament theory: Number the statements in the proper sequence to describe excitation-contraction coupling. Step 1 has been numbered for you. ___1____ 1. Acetylcholine is released by the axon terminal‚ diffuses to the muscle cell and attaches To ACh receptors on the sarcolemma. ________ 2. The action potential‚ carried into the cell via the T-tubules‚ causes the SR to release Calcium ions. ________ 3. Ach-E breaks down

plate. Skeletal Muscle Twitch: A period of excitation-contraction in which electrical pulses trigger action potentials‚ The twitch is the result of a mechanical response to a single action potential. Electrical Stimulus: An isolated stimulus that sends energy through a muscle in which a response occurs. The stimulus generates movement in the muscle and causes the muscle to generate contractions. Latent Period: The beginning stage of muscle contractions. This stage produces no muscle force‚ but
