During an isometric contraction You correctly answered: d. the skeletal muscle is generating force, but it remains at a fixed length. The force that results from muscles being stretched is You correctly answered: a. passive force. Active force You correctly answered: b. is determined by the amount of myosin bound to actin. When you generate the isometric length-tension curve, which of the following forces will not be indicated on your screen? You correctly answered: c. tetanic force Passive force in skeletal muscle is largely caused by You correctly answered: c. the protein titin.

Solved by ramonistry Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 4: Tetanus in Isolated Skeletal Muscle Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 3 out of 3 questions correctly. Stimulus frequency refers to You correctly answered: b. the rate that stimulating voltage pulses are applied to an isolated whole skeletal muscle. Which of the following distinguishes a state of unfused tetanus from a state of complete (fused) tetanus? You correctly answered: d. Muscle tension increases and decreases during a state of unfused tetanus. When the stimulus frequency reaches a value beyond which no further increases in force are generated by the muscle, the muscle has reached its You correctly answered: a. maximal tetanic tension. Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question: As the stimulus frequency increases further, what will happen to the muscle tension and twitch appearance with each successive stimulus?

Solved by ramonistry Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology: Activity 3: The Effect of Stimulus Frequency on Skeletal Muscle Contraction Lab Report Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 4 out of 4 questions correctly. During a single twitch of a skeletal muscle You correctly answered: b. maximal force is never achieved. When a skeletal muscle is repetitively stimulated, twitches can overlap each other and result in a stronger muscle contraction than a stand-alone twitch. This phenomenon is known as You correctly answered: c. wave summation. Wave summation is achieved by You correctly answered: a. increasing the stimulus frequency (the rate of stimulus delivery to the muscle). Wave summation increases the force produced in the muscle. Another way to increase the force produced by a muscle is to You correctly answered: d. increase the number of activated motor units. Experiment Results Predict Question: Predict Question 1: As the stimulus frequency increases, what ...
