3o0f5 content The simple contraction (simple twitch) of the skeletal muscle represents the contractile response to a single stimulus. The graphical recording of the contraction has a spectfic model where we caw observe three consecutive phases: 1. the Latent period; 2. the period of contraction; 3. the period of relaxation. contraction period period of relaxation Latent period Objectives: 1. visualization and measurement of the phases of the simple contraction (simple twitch) awd the correlation between the intensity of the applied stimulus and the intensity of the muscular contraction (the wumber of the muscular fibers implicated in the response). 2. Demonstration of the influence of Low temperature on the excitability awd contractility of the skeletal muscle. Principle A nonCka 12°CBy applying a single electrical stimulus on the skeletal muscle, we record ow a graphical surface the contractile response of the muscle (obtain a myogram) iv normal and iw low temperature conditions. Technique: The practical session consists of two experimental moments: 1. Visualize the phases of the simple contractions (simple twitch), measure them and observe the correlations between the intensity of the stimulus and the intensity of the muscular contraction (the number of the muscular fibers implicated in the response). Technique - step | 2. Demonstrate the influence of Low temperature ow muscle excitability and contractility. Technique - step | Back A noncka 19°C. cP 08 LeEE EE IL Eee own ep Neo 426 $e Feo / t<— - | ~ Tnearnlih Tek - cae her scteccl Showl §nol tomdch int, Reka pehac/ 2 Cocnptle Citanslys CeO dee C00 vocl Sinb/S ford Fe sole 0% Cah yor \ AMasel LAE = - Drage qTe SGA eA Ts Tre, Releton. % * e ° * e e ® € € e e ’ ‘ c c ‘ ‘ '
