Functions of muscle tissue:
This link list some of the functions of muscle tissue.Make sure you review the functions on the PowerPoints for extras.
Review the four properties of muscle tissue,
There are three types of muscle tissue. For each one, make sure you understand the structure and how each functions. Connect the two.
Go to the following web site: Skeletal Muscle Organization
Complete the exercise on muscular organization at the top of the page--Parts 01, 02, and 03. After you complete the exercise and go over the entire page, submit a copy of the exercise for grading.
Go to the following web site: Neuromuscular Junction
Complete the exercise on the neuromuscular junction at the top of the page--Parts 01, 02, and 03. After you complete the exercise and go over the entire page, submit a copy of the exercise for grading.
Make sure you understand the entire sequence of the sliding filament theory and all of the parts that are needed for it to work. To help I have added videos below.
Go to the following web site: Whole Muscle Physiology
Make sure you can explain each of the following:
1. Motor Units
2. Muscle Twitch
3. The four types of muscle contraction with an example of each
4. The factors that influence the strength of the contraction
5. Explain each of the four energy sources used in muscle contraction and during what part of a contraction it is used
6. How fatigue occurs
7. The three muscle fiber types and the characteristics of each, including what types of activities each is best for
