Post-lab Quiz Results
You scored 100% by answering 6 out of 6 questions correctly.
Motor unit recruitment refers to
You correctly answered: an increase in the number of active muscle fibers to increase the
force developed in a muscle.
1
Active tension (or force) in a skeletal muscle fiber results from
You correctly answered: activation of cross bridge cycling via increased intracellular calcium
levels.
2
The is the minimal stimulus needed to cause a depolarization of the muscle plasma
membrane (sarcolemma).

Review Sheet Results
You correctly answered: threshold voltage.
By definition, the is the amount of stimulus required to successfully recruit all
the
muscle fibers into developing active force.
You correctly answered: maximal voltage.
4
Why was a maximal voltage observed in this experiment?
You correctly answered: At the maximal voltage, all the muscle fibers contained in this
muscle are depolarized and they all develop active force (that is, they were all successfully
recruited).
5
A sufficiently strong electrical stimulus applied to an isolated, mounted skeletal muscle
induces the development of muscle force, or muscle tension. Which of the following
statements concerning this observation is true
?
You correctly answered: The electrical stimulus mimics acetylcholine release at a
neuromuscular junction.
6
Describe the effect of increasing stimulus voltage on isolated skeletal muscle. Specifically,
what happened to the muscle force generated with stronger electrical stimulations and why
did this change occur? How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
The total force of the muscle increases when the stimulus voltage is increased. My predictions were accurate in that the force will continually increase, but I was wrong in failing to realize it would only be a certain point. The active force plateu'd at 8.5 volts.
1
How is this change in whole-muscle force achieved in vivo
?
Your answer:
The whole-muscle force is achieved in vivo because because additional motor units were used as an increase to the force produced by the total muscle.
2
What happened in the isolated skeletal muscle when the maximal voltage was applied?
Your answer:
The fibers in the isolated skeletal muscles were depolarized, and an active force was created. Maximal voltage was applied when all of the fibers in the skeletal muscle participated.
