Following an injury to a nerve, the muscle it supplies with motor nerve fibers may become paralyzed. How would you explain to a patient the importance of moving the disabled muscles passively or contracting them using electrical stimulation?
suppose your friend had a condition where each muscle had only one motor unit controlling it. how would their attempts to contract their muscles be different?
Why might stretching a cramping muscle INCREASE the cramping, as well as why would contracting the opposing muscle rapidly improve the situation?

- under a microscope, some skeletal muscles appear white and some look red. What type of muscle appears white? What type of muscle appears red? What accounts for this difference?arrow_forwardYour patient, Ms. Young, presents to physical therapy for evaluation and treatment of painful muscle spasms (sustained muscle contractions) in the muscles of her right shoulder. You notice upon evaluation that Ms. Young has decreased strength in her right shoulder compared with her left shoulder, which has no muscle spasms. Explain this finding. (Hint: Is a muscle in the spasm at its natural length?arrow_forwardWhat is the physiological mechanism that produces a quick and efficient skeletal muscle response to an external stimulus?
