Title: Explain how you were able to achieve smooth contraction at a given force level.
Post by: mcy on Aug 12, 2011
Help! Duddy! This has been a life saver! But I was wondering you had the answers to this same activity but for numbers 7-18? My lab is due and I cannot get the simulation to work on my computer. I will without a doubt contribute if I get some help.
-what was the effect of increasing the frequency of simulation?
-Compare and contrast wave summation with recruitment. How are they similar? How was each achieved in the simulation?
-Explain how wave summation and recruitment are achieved in vivo?
-Explain how you were able to achieve smooth contraction at a given force level.
-Explain why the force of the muscle decreased over time during uninterrupted stimulation. Describe the multiple causes of this phenomenon, which occurs in vivo with prolonged use of a muscle.
-At what lengthy of the muscle does the passive force start to increase?
-Explain what happens to the active force with an increase in the muscle length
-Explain what happens to active force with a decrease in the muscle length
-explain what is happening in the sarcomere that results in the changes in total force when the muscle length changes.
-which weight resulted in the highest initial velocity of shortening?
-explain the relationship between the amount of resistance and the initial velocity of shortening.
-explain why it will take you longer to perform 10 reps lifting 20 pounds  than it would to perform the same number of reps with a 5 pound weight

*If you could help I would really appreciate it! I don't seem to have any other options! THANK YOU!
