Experiment Results Predict Question Stop & Think Questions Skeletal muscle fibers are innervated (stimulated) by You correctly answered: motor neurons. 1 A single action potential propagating down a motor axon results in You correctly answered: a single action potential and a single contractile event in the muscle fibers it innervates. 2 In resting skeletal muscle, calcium is stored in You correctly answered: the sarcoplasmic reticulum. 3 During the latent period for an isometric contraction You correctly answered: the cellular events involved in excitation-contraction coupling occur. 4 Predict Question: As the stimulus voltage is increased from 1.0 volt up to 10 volts, what will happen to the amount of active force generated with each stimulus? Your answer: The active force will first increase and then plateau at some maximal value as the stimulus voltage increases. 1 What do you observe in the active force display when the stimulus voltage is set to 0.0, and why does this observation make sense? You correctly answered: 0.00; there was no activation of skeletal muscle fibers by this stimulus. 1 i

10/23/2020 PhysioEx Exercise 2 Activity 2 https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_ap/physioex/10/ex2/act2/ 7/8 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). 3 i
10/23/2020 PhysioEx Exercise 2 Activity 2 https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_ap/physioex/10/ex2/act2/ 8/8 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: As predicted the active force increase to the point in which it reached a plateau and was no longer able to increase. 1 How is this change in whole-muscle force achieved in vivo ? Your answer: recruitment of more muscle fibers over time. 2 What happened in the isolated skeletal muscle when the maximal voltage was applied? Your answer: All the muscles fibers have been recruited so the maximal force has been accomplish. 3 i
