Muscle Contraction The role of skeletal muscle is to aid in movement and maintain posture. In order to do this it must contract. Twitch: a brief mechanical.
MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SKELETAL MUSCLE. Motor Unit A motor unit consists of a somatic motor neuron plus all the skeletal muscle fibers it stimulates.

Yesterday we finished off talking about the different kinds of muscle contractions. Today we are going to look at how a muscle produces these contractions.
Somatosensory System Touch - mechanoreception Limb posture movements and forces – (kinesthesis) proprioception (Haptics – object recognition through touch.
Control of movement Four subsystems: Lower motor system- Grey matter of spinal cord and brainstem-contain lower motor neurons and lower circuit neurons-the.
17.5.12. 1. A change in resting membrane potential corresponds to a change in (a) Charge flowing across the membrane (b) Charge stored on membrane capacitor.
ECG 24.5.12. How ECG is done? The electrical impulses originating from the heart can be transmitted to the body surface because the body contains fluids.
