Hey everyone I'm trying to finish my review sheet but there are a few questions that I don't understand

5) In Activity 4, you looked at the effect of stimulating the muscle multiple times in a short period with complete relaxation between the stimuli. Describe the force of contraction with each subsequent stimulus.
6) Describe the chemical changes that are thought to correlate to this change in vivo.
8) Compare and contrast wave summation with recruitment (multiple motor unit summation). How are they similar? How was each achieved in the stimulation?

6) Describe the chemical changes that are thought to correlate to this change in vivo.

Increasing availability of Ca++ in the sarcoplasm (more Ca++ expose more active binding sites on the thin filaments for cross-bridge attachment).

8) Compare and contrast wave summation with recruitment (multiple motor unit summation). How are they similar? How was each achieved in the stimulation?

Both cause an increase in force generated. Summation is achieved by increasing frequency of stimulation. Recruitment is achieved by ? force of stimulation.

5) In Activity 4, you looked at the effect of stimulating the muscle multiple times in a short period with complete relaxation between the stimuli. Describe the force of contraction with each subsequent stimulus.

The force generated increases slightly with each subsequent stimulus.
