Cellular physiology of nerve and muscle - (lecture 3-7) sept. 18, 22, 25, 29, oct. 3. Homeostasis: autonomic nervous system and endocrine system (lecture 8-9) oct. 6, 9. The respiratory system (lecture 19-21) - nov 27, dec. 1, 4, 8. 2. 3. 1 describe the microscopic structure of skeletal muscle fibers and explain the cellular mechanisms of excitation- contraction (pp. 2. 3. 3 describe the contractile properties of skeletal muscle (motor unit, isotonic & isometric contractions, spatial & temporal summation, etc) (pp. 2. 3. 4 associate various muscle types with their metabolism and speed of contraction and rate of fatigue (pp. 2. 3. 5 compare the properties of smooth muscle with those of skeletal muscle (pp. 2. 3. 1. 1 common features of muscle cells elongated cells = muscle fibers; terminology: myo-, sarco- muscle contraction depends on actin & myosin myofilaments. Pacemaker sets rate of contraction; neural input can increase rate. Can contract rapidly; tires easily & must rest. Ability to resume resting length after being stretched : carnegie, u of o.
