Briefly describe how lactate is formed within skeletal muscle during exercise. Consider the exercise intensity and the metabolic system required for lactate formation. Then, describe why lactate is physiologically relevant for an athlete and not just some waste byproduct that you want to clear.

Activity 7: • Compare the conduction velocities of the three neurons. Based on what we discussed in class, why did you notice these changes? Activity 8: • When the “Control Ca2+” solution was used, why do you suppose more neurotransmitter was released when going from a low intensity stimulus to a high intensity stimulus? • Why was there no release of neurotransmitters when the “No Ca2+” solution was used? Why did this occur? • How did the amount of neurotransmitters secreted in the “Low Ca2+” compare to the amount secreted in the “Control Ca2+”? Why do you think this occurred? • Why did the “Mg2+” solution affect the amount of neurotransmitters released?

Activity 4: • What was the peak voltage at R1 and R2 when you first stimulated the neuron using 30mV? • What does TTX do to voltage-gated Na+ channels? • What does lidocaine do to voltage-gated Na+ channels? How does the effect of lidocaine differ from the effect of TTX? • Can someone affected by TTX be treated? • Pain-sensitive neurons (called nociceptors) conduct action potentials from the skin or teeth to sites in the brain involved in pain perception. Where should a dentist inject the lidocaine to block pain perception?
