Summary
The experiment was conducted to be able to determine the effect of graded response, load, pules, frequency, tetanus and muscles fatigue on the contraction of the muscle, specifically the gastrocnemius, by doing the procedures and a series of experiments to get various data.

Introduction

First we ask the question, what is a kymograph? A kymograph is a device used for recording variations in pressure such as in sound waves, blood pressure and etc. by the trace …show more content…

It records a phenomenon over time and keeps track of its changes. It has time intervals and it has its records on data. A kymograph is commonly translated into graphs. Usually the orientation of a kymograph on a graph is that the changes in pressure and motion lies on the X-axis and the time elapsed lies on the Y-axis. A kymograph can be horizontal or vertical. In the previous decades, a smoked paper was used as the recording sheet. Today, as we advance, we sometimes use sheets of graphing paper or plain paper. On some instances a manual procedure is done but since we already advanced in technologies, we now use software for …show more content…

We first double-pithed a frog in order to immobilize the frog. Next, use a scalpel to cut the skin of the frog around the abdomen so as to peel the skin down and off the legs easily. Use a Ringer’s solution to keep the frog moist at all times. Glass probe was used to expose the sciatic nerve from between the thigh muscles on to the knee. A 25-cm piece of thread was slipped under the Achilles tendon at the heel of the frog to secure it. The gastrocnemius muscle of the frog was dissected away from the tibio-fibula bone while still being attached to the knee. The other parts such as the foot, thigh muscles and others were removed from the tibio-fibula except for the sciatic nerve and gastrocnemius. Bone shears was used to cut the tibio-fibula bond 8-10mm below the knee. The femur was cut close to the hip joint. The muscle left in the petri dish was moistened using the Frog Ringer’s until ready to

On Januray 26, 2023, Jelly Bones was found dead in room W1106, a lab in Huntley Highschool’s science wing. The victim was a caucasian female who appeared to be roughly in her mid to late teens with straight, shoulder length blonde hair. When investigator’s arrive on scene it seemed evident that a homicide had occured in the school. The body was discovered by chemistry and foirensic science teacher Mrs. Zuniga, lying unresponsive in the lab. The victim was wearing light blue jeans with a pale gray colored t-shirt.

Elijah Brycth B. Jarlos IX-Argon 1. Multicellularity is a condition of an organism to have multicellular cells. An example of a organism who has multicellular cells are plants, animals, and humans. The main reason of why scientists have a hard time finding a good set of existing organisms to compare. Is neither the first set of organisms which is being compared is dying as fast as the second specimen is being examined or they just can’t find the right species.

The data does not support the students hypothesis because it was incorrect. A possible explanation for these results is when you exercise your blood starts flowing throughout your body which causes the muscles to move faster and the amount of clothespin squeezes to increase. When a person exercises the blood flow of the person increases. When the blood flow increases, the person's level of oxygen also increases and then, when oxygen is delivered to the muscles a process called anaerobic respiration occurs. When you rest, not a large amount of oxygen is getting to your muscles which leads to the increase of lactic acid, and the lactic acid causes your muscles to fatigue.

Posture, such as sitting and standing, is maintained as a result of muscle contraction. The skeletal muscles are continually making fine adjustments that hold the body in stationary positions. The tendons of many muscles extend over joints and in this way contribute to joint stability. This is particularly evident in the knee and shoulder joints, where muscle tendons are a major factor in stabilizing the joint. Heat production, to maintain body temperature, is an important by-product of muscle metabolism.

Mr.Frog left a lasting legacy for his children and grand tadpoles. He owned the world’s largest frog limb replacement agency called “Gotta Hop Somehow” His children say they will carry on the family tradition of owning the business which has blessed them so much. When Mr.frog started the business he had next to nothing. He was fighting the IRS when he discovered that he needed to make frog legs for amputees.

The habitat and the mating and young are mostly the same. The glass frog is a species of frog that is entirely transparent, with their organs visible underneath their skin. Listverse.com reported, “The glass frog’s flesh is entirely transparent, allowing you to see the internal organs, including the heart pumping away. The flesh thus takes on the hue of surrounding vegetation, making the

The frog has a small, compact structure that includes strong quick legs, and large eyes. The frog has a powerful jump. Most of the bones in the frog's body is in its legs. This enables the frog to jump far and move out of the way of its predators quickly. Some frogs can jump over 20 times their own body length; that is like a human jumping 30m. Human bones are spread out throughout the body, but frog’s are close together.

External snapping hip syndrome was first reported by Valderrama in 1969[7]. It can be idiopathic, congenital and genetic or acquired [10, 11, 20, 21]. Commonly seen in athletes like ballet dancers, runners and soccer players [1, 22]. Intramascular injections of antibiotics and anti malarial agents have been associated causes. [23,24,25,26] First step of management of external snapping hip is conservative.

CBIs can be divided into two main categories, self-management based interventions and verbal mediation-based interventions. Self-management based interventions EBD students are directed to observe, record and reinforce their own behaviors. The following are three procedures used in self-management training. The procedures include, self-monitoring, self-evaluation and self-reinforcement (Yell, Meadows, Drasgow & Shriner, 2014).
