PhysioEx Lab Report Exercise 2: Skeletal Muscle Physiology Activity 1: The Muscle Twitch and the Latent Period Name: Isaiah Morton Date: 30 March 2020 Session ID: session-b88f74ce-d409-e998-bf77-838823595e2c

Pre-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 5 out of 5 questions correctly. 1 Skeletal muscles are connected to bones by You correctly answered: tendons. 2 Skeletal muscles are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells called You correctly answered: fibers. 3 The term motor unit refers to You correctly answered: one motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates. 4 The motor neuron and muscle fiber intersect at what is called You correctly answered: the neuromuscular junction. 5 A twitch is You correctly answered: one contractile response to a single action potential.

Experiment Results Predict Question 1 Predict Question: Will changes to the stimulus voltage alter the duration of the latent period? Your answer: No, changing the stimulus voltage will not change the latent period duration. Stop & Think Questions 1 What is the period of time that elapses between the generation of an action potential and the start of muscle tension development in a muscle fiber? You correctly answered: The latent period. 2 What occurs during the latent period of these isometric contractions? https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_ap/physioex/10/ex2/act1/

Post-lab Quiz Results You scored 100% by answering 6 out of 6 questions correctly. 1 An action potential in a motor neuron triggers the release of which neurotransmitter? You correctly answered: acetylcholine. 2 The term skeletal muscle fiber refers to You correctly answered: an individual skeletal muscle cell. 3 The graded depolarization in the skeletal muscle fiber that is elicited in response to one action potential from the motor neuron is called You correctly answered: an EPP (end-plate potential). 4 Which of the following is not a phase of a skeletal muscle twitch? You correctly answered: hyperpolarization phase. 5 A skeletal muscle twitch is You correctly answered: one contractile response to a single action potential. 6 Which of the following correctly matches the twitch phase with its definition? You correctly answered: the contraction phase: the time between the end of the latent period and peak muscle tension.

Review Sheet Results 1 Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber, motor unit, skeletal muscle twitch, electrical stimulus, and latent period. https://media.pearsoncmg.com/bc/bc_0media_ap/physioex/10/ex2/act1/

Your answer: Skeletal Muscle Fiber: skeletal muscle cell Motor Unit: Motor neuron and the affected muscle fiber Skeletal muscle twitch: contraction in response to a single action potential Latent Period: time between the muscle stimulation and when the fiber contracts. 2 What is the role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction? Your answer: Diffusion to muscle fibers and binding to receptors for electrical potential. 3 Describe the process of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibers. Your answer: Neuromuscular junction goes to the end plate potential which triggers muscle cell contraction. 4 Describe the three phases of a skeletal muscle twitch. Your answer: Latent period: time between muscle stimulation and contraction Contraction: from the beginning of contraction to peak muscle tension Relaxation: from peak tension the end of the contraction. 5 Does the duration of the latent period change with different stimulus voltages? How well did the results compare with your prediction? Your answer: My predictions were accurate. 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: They move into the cell to bring about membrane depolarization.
