Before these pictures we had a bundle of fibers from the rabbits muscle tissue. The lab
pictures that is being demonstrated here is a rabbit muscle to show the muscle contractions
before adding the ATP plus salt solution it had long, straight, stretched strands of rabbit bundle
muscle fibers. After the ATP plus salt solution was added the strands of muscles were wrinkled,
they shrinked and the size of the strands or fibers got small. The evidence we figured out was
that the muscle contractions is the width of the muscle adter the ATP sallt solution. Figure 1 had
both of the images which are pictures of a rabbit muscle showing before and after putting the
solution salt. The contractions are being shown on figure 2. (100x)Table 1: Data table showing
the measurements of the rabbit muscle length before and after ATP and salt solution. Table 2:
Data table demonstrating the measurements of the rabbit muscle width before and after ATP
plus salt solution in my trails.
