What components contribute to the passive force generated by the skeletal muscle?
The components contribute to the passive force generated by the
skeletal muscle is elastic or connective components.
When a muscle is passively stretched the muscle provides resistive
tension and the elastic components are non contractile and it
contains muscle membranes.
This elastic component not only suits for stretching but also for
recoil and it is based on time dependent.
The muscle consists of elastic components that generate the passive
force in response to tensile or strain and the passive force
opposed by the force of contraction.
When a tensed muscle is stretched, the passive elasticity derives
from tendons and this is series elastic component.
When the passive elasticity derives from muscle membranes that
comes under parallel elastic component.
Thus the components contribute to passive force generated by the
skeletal muscle.
What components contribute to the passive force generated by the skeletal muscle?
1. What is muscular flexibility? a. the maximal force that a skeletal muscle or group of muscles can produce b.the rate at which work is performed divided by muscle mass c. the mobility of the muscles to move without restriction d. the ability of muscles to move within a limited range of motion
In experimental situations, how does skeletal muscle length determine the force of contraction? Why, in life, is this muscle length versus active tension relationship not seen?
Why does a skeletal muscle cell need a neuromuscular junction as a component part? Skeletal muscle fibers are voluntary and thus must be stimulated by a neural impulse before they will contract. Through the neuron, the brain tells the muscle cell what proteins to produce and what wastes to pump out of the cell. The muscle cell needs to be told when to divide, such as when a person is exercising and needs more muscle. A neuron provides the necessary...
1) You are investigating the force generated by the sarcomeres in a myofibril of a muscle. Let's assume you have a way of quantifying the number of actin-myosin cross bridges. You notice that for all of your sarcomeres, increasing the number of actin-myosin crossbridges does not increase the force generated by the sarcomere. What is going on? A) The sarcomeres are too contracted, hence sarcomere length is a limiting factor for force generated rather than the number of cross-bridges...
You are working on muscle atrophy. Discuss what happens in atrophy and how muscle mass can increase upon recovery from atrophy, and how under these conditions, contractile force generated for a given stimulus would be affected. Give an explanation to a patient (without a strong science background) how stimulation of skeletal muscles can result in different strength contractions using language they can understand

SECTION 1: Structure of a Skeletal Muscle A. Layers of connective tissue separate a muscle into compartments. The layer called endomy- sium surrounds each muscle cell. Muscle cells are then bundled into fascicles, which are sur- rounded by perimysium. The entire muscle is composed of many fascicles, and is surround- ed by epimysium. All layers merge together to form the tendon that attaches the muscle to a bone. An outermost layer of connective tissue called fascia binds adjacent muscles together...
Skeletal muscle is striated and under voluntary control. Cardiac muscle is also striated but under involuntary control. Smooth muscle is not striated and is under involuntary control. Explain why we see striations in both skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle but not in smooth muscle. Also explain what it means to be under voluntary or involuntary control.
If we repeatedly stimulate a myocardial cell, and a skeletal muscle cells every 50 ms, what are the differences of muscle tension between these two types of cells? Explain why contractions in cardiac muscle cells are different to skeletal muscle cells
