Summary Introduction
To sketch: A model representing the neuromuscular junction during exposure to pesticide and predict the effect of pesticide on Na+ channels and muscle function.
Introduction: Muscle contractions are stimulated by the nervous stimuli. The nervous stimuli are in the form of electrical impulse that is transmitted at the neuromuscular junction.

Subject: Neurophysiology
Imagine a toxin that blocks voltage gated K channels. What do you expect to see at the neuromuscular junction when you stimulate the pre synaptic neuron? Would you release neurotransmitter? Would the skeletal muscle contract?

II. Real life problem. You are a trainer and are called on to the field where a player is down with a severe cramp of his right hamstring (biceps femoris) muscle. You know that cramps are caused by over-active motor nerve activity to the muscle. Your associates want to stretch the cramping hamstring, but you say, “No! I want the player to concentrate on contracting his right quadriceps muscles before we stretch.”
Why might stretching a cramping muscle INCREASE the cramping?

- Move Making Connections, Student Laboratory Packet, page 5 A2. How Does Fatigue Affect Muscle Performance? A condition known as muscle fatigue occurs when certain waste products of muscle cell activity build up in the cells. Until these waste chemicals are removed, the fatigue will continue. Do the Following Activity Hold a spring-type clothespin between your thumb and index finger. Pinch the ends together completely (until the two ends touch) and release them. Do this as rapidly as possible for one minute. Record the number of times you could squeeze the clothespin in one minute: Try the activity again, doing it the same way and using the same two fingers as before. Record the number of times you could squeeze the clothespin the second time: Answer the Following Questions Some people are able to squeeze the clothespin more times in a minute than others. Suggest a possible explanation for this. Could you do as many in a minute the second time as you could do the first time? Provide a…arrow_forwardVII. Real life problem.

An electrical impulse travels over the sarcolemma and inward along the T-tubules, causing sacs in the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release calcium. ____ B. The release of ACh stops and acetylcholinesterase breaks down any remaining ACh. _____ C. Troponin and tropomyosin prevent the myosin heads from grasping the thin filament, and the muscle fiber relaxes. _____ D. An electrical impulse causes small vesicles at the end of a motor neuron to release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh). _____ E.

- Select all that are true of motor pathways. They are composed of at least two neurons. Somas of upper motor neurons are housed within the spinal cord. Lower motor neurons can be excitatory or inhibitory. Axons of lower motor neurons innervate skeletal muscle cells. ©2017 McGrarrow_forwardMuscle physiology: You are in the gym and doing strength training. You feel in good shape and should try to break personal records in squats. You place the bar on your back and start to take in, ie. your motor neurons begin to send action potentials through all your motor units to the thigh muscles. Task 1: Describe how these action potentials lead to your muscles contracting. The description must follow the correct sequence order and you must explain what happens and why. Task 2: What is the contraction called when you a) bend down and b) are in good shape and can generate more force than what the bar weighs c) stay standing in a and the same position without being able to push yourself up while standing?arrow_forwardPractice 56 Which statement is true? The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the adaptation of the action potentials. The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the amplitude of the action potentials. The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the duration of the action potentials. The intensity of a stimulus is encoded by the frequency of the action potentials.arrow_forward
