E = Fulcrum
Weight of forearm = 1.8 kgs
L = Load
Biceps brachii

Distance of load from elbow joint = 35 cm
%3D
Effort (E) = contraction
of biceps brachii
Distance of center of mass of forearm from elbow = 17 cm
Distance of tendon from elbow = 4 cm
A) Draw the free-body diagram to represent the forces and moments
Load (L) = weight of
object plus forearm
B) Write the torque equation for static equilibrium
Fulcrum (F) = elbow joint
Arrange the following in statements in the order that they occur during muscle contraction: 1-10
ACh leaves the synaptic knob and enters the synaptic cleft
The action potential is carried deep into the muscle cell by T tubules
The muscle cell relaxes and lengthens
Myosin binds to and pulls on actin, resulting in muscle shortening
Calcium attaches to troponin
As calcium re-enters the sarcoplasmic reticulum, its concentration at the myofilaments decreases
Calcium is released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum
Tropomyosin rolls out of the way, exposing actin
ACh diffuses across the synaptic cleft and attaches to protein receptors on the sarcolemma, resulting in muscle "excitation"
Na+ enters the muscle cell and K+ exits, resulting in an action potential
describe the events that lead to muscle contraction starting at the level of the neuromuscular junction. Make sure to use the terms: myosin, actin, calcium, troponin, tropomyosin, T tubules, SR, myosin head, ATP.

Rewrite the equation so that the contraction rate is a function of tension.arrow_forwardIndicate which of the following are true. Chronically shortened muscles will lose sarcomeres in series in order to maintain ideal amounts of myofilament overlap. Contractile force is proportional to the length of a muscle. Muscle organ contraction is all or nothing. Muscle cells are surrounded by an endomysium. Actin is the thick filament and Z-lines are where the cross-bridges zig-zag to adjacent actin filaments. Muscles with fewer motor units are weaker, i.e., capable of less force. A nerve impulse, calcium, and ATP are necessary for muscle contraction. Tendons attach bones to bones and help to limit the range of motion at joints. Muscle tissue is very dynamic and will respond to chronic stress by becoming stronger (making more myofilaments), chronic contraction by becoming shorter (losing sarcomeres in series), and stretching by becoming longer (adding sarcomeres in series). Myofilaments are actually long strands of proteins.arrow_forward
