Choose examples from your own body (except, do not
choose skeletal muscle) and explain how they relate to the
definitions of anatomy, physiology, and histology.
The human body has various types of muscle. Describe how the
various muscle types (i.e. skeletal, cardiac, and smooth)
contribute to the efficiency of a road cyclist. In this discussion,
please include the location of each of the various muscle types in
the body. If the muscle type is found in multiple areas in the
body, focus on the areas most relevant for this type of
exercise
Explain the effects of hypocalcemia in the body. Why muscle
cells (cardiac vs skeletal) are affected differently? Explain the
symptoms seen in the heart and compare them to skeletal muscle
symptoms.
How does an electrical impulse from a nerve lead to muscle
contraction?
How does skeletal muscle contract and generate force?
How does muscle twitch, summation, and tetanus affect the
strength and duration of muscle contraction?
What are the different types of skeletal muscle contractions?
Explain the difference?
Own Words Please.
Explain the entire process of contraction in a skeletal muscle,
starting with how the signal enters the muscle cell at the
neuromuscular junction. Include all relevant ions, molecules,
structures, and processes in your explanation. How does the muscle
carry out a sustained contraction? How does a muscle relax? How
does skeletal muscle differ from the other two muscle types?

Explain how the following agents are involved in the excitation
and contraction of skeletal muscle.
i. Acetylcholine (ACh)
ii. Calcium (Ca2+)
iii. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)
Explain the process of skeletal muscle contraction from action
potential being sent from the brain or spinal cord through muscle
contraction and relaxation.
