On a field trip to a lake, a college student captures a worm-shaped animal with segmented body wall muscles. While examining the specimen in the laboratory the following day, she determines that the main nerve cord runs along the ventral side of the animal. Is this animal a chordate?
In a rock climber like the man pictured in Figure 14.25, which organs of equilibrium are activated? Figure 14.25 Dangling upside down affects several organs of equilibrium. What are they?
Insects and vertebrates have analogous proprioceptors that monitor muscle length and tension, joint positions, limb forces, and so on. Insects, however, do not have statocysts to monitor the direction of gravitational force. How could an insect detect gravity when at rest? What could be the possible adaptive advantage of the absence of statocysts for a flying insect?
If implanted electrodes were used to stimulate action potentials in gamma motor neurons to flexors of the left arm, which would be the most likely result?a. inhibition of the flexors of the left armb. a decrease in action potentials from muscle-spindle receptors in the left armc. a decrease in action potentials from Golgi tendon organs in the left armd. an increase in action potentials along alpha motor neurons to flexors inthe left arme. contraction of flexor muscles in the right arm
Which of the following describes a stretch reflex?A. The receptor detects that a muscle is stretched, and sends a signal to contract it reflexively.B. The receptor detects that a muscle is contracted, and sends a signal to stretch it reflexively.
Why does muscle CAP Amp for both the normal Ringer's solution and Ringer's solution with Neostigmine increased as the stimulus amplitude increased, but a normal Ringer's solution would have a larger muscle CAP Amp value? Why is this the same case for a CAP Period as stimulus amplitude increases?. Why would Muscle CAP Period values for Ringer's with NEO then have larger values. Why does a normal Ringer's solution take longer to reach maximum action potential ?
Describe what a graph of action potential amplitude vs stimulus intensity for a frog sciatic nerve would look like. What would be the x-axis label and units of measurement? What would be the y-axis label and units of measurement?
Increased γ-motor neuron discharge stimulates muscle spindles, because :-a- it produces stretch of the extrafusal muscle fibersb- it causes stretch of the peripheral regions of the intrafusal fibersc- it causes stretch of the central region of the intrafusal fibersd- it stimulates directly the sensory fibers innervating muscle spindles
The single-fiber twitch experiments shown here were generated by stimulating the muscle cell membranes to threshold with an electrode and measuring the resulting action potential and force. How would the results differ if Ca21 were removed from the extracellular solution just before the electrical stimulus was applied?
Using pyramidal motor tract as a template, describe the voluntary control of skeletal muscles being sure to use appropriate course terminology. Start from the very first neuron and end with neural innervation onto muscle fiber.
4) You set up an experiment using an isolated mouse muscle-nerve preparation.a. Draw the force traces (used to measure the force of contraction using a force transducer) you wouldexpect to get if you stimulated the nerve at 3 different lengths: 1) slack, 2) the normal length of the musclein the body, and 3) stretched past a length the muscle could ever experience in a mouse. If the force tracesare different explain why. (Hint: refer back to the length-tension relationship)b. Draw the nerve signals you would record from a Group Ia muscle spindle afferent at each of those 3lengths. If the 3 conditions are different explain why. (Hint: refer back to the function of the musclespindle
