    The document describes the results of an experiment on the effect of stimulus voltage on skeletal muscle contraction. It shows that increasing the voltage leads to increasing muscle force, as more muscle fibers are recruited. Maximum force is reached at maximal voltage, when all fibers are activated.

    Predict Question:
    Predict Question: As the stimulus voltage is increased from 1.0 volt up to 10 volts, what will happen to the amount of active
    force generated with each stimulus?
    You did not answer this question.

    Stop & Think Questions:


    What do you see in the active force display when the stimulus voltage is set to 0.0, and why does this observation make
    sense?
    You did not answer this question.
    Correct answer: a. 0.00 g; there was no activation of skeletal muscle fibers by this stimulus.

    What is the lowest stimulus voltage that induces active force in the skeletal muscle?
    You did not answer this question.
    Correct answer: b. threshold voltage

    You scored 0% by answering 0 out of 6 questions correctly.

    1. Motor unit recruitment refers to


    You did not answer this question.

    Correct answer: a. an increase in the number of active muscle fibers to increase the force developed in a muscle.

    2. Active tension (or force) in a skeletal muscle fiber results from


    You did not answer this question.

    Correct answer: a. activation of cross bridge cycling via increased intracellular calcium levels.

    3. The ________ is the minimal stimulus needed to cause a depolarization of the muscle plasma membrane (sarcolemma).

    You did not answer this question.

    Correct answer: d. threshold voltage

    4. By definition, the ________ is the amount of stimulus required to successfully recruit all the muscle fibers into
    developing active force.
    You did not answer this question.

    Correct answer: c. maximal voltage

    5. Why was a maximal voltage observed in this experiment?


    You did not answer this question.

    Correct answer: b. At the maximal voltage, all the muscle fibers contained in this muscle are depolarized and they all
    develop active force (that is, they were all successfully recruited).

    6. A sufficiently strong electrical stimulus applied to an isolated, mounted skeletal muscle induces the development of
    muscle force, or muscle tension. Which of the following statements concerning this observation is true?
    You did not answer this question.

    Correct answer: c. The electrical stimulus mimics acetylcholine release at a neuromuscular junction

    Review Sheet Results
    1. Describe the effect of increasing stimulus voltage on isolated skeletal muscle. Specifically, what happened to the muscle
    force generated with stronger electrical stimulations and why did this change occur? How well did the results compare with
    your prediction?
    You did not answer this question.

    2. How is this change in whole-muscle force achieved in vivo?


    You did not answer this question.

    3. What happened in the isolated skeletal muscle when the maximal voltage was applied?
