- All-or-none Response: Phenomenon in which a muscle fiber contracts completely when exposed to a threshold stimulus, or not at all. When a skeletal muscle is stimulated to contract by a motor neuron a minimum amount of stimulus is needed to start the process of muscle contraction.

All or none law If it is of threshold strength or over, a spike (representing a nervous impulse) of maximum magnitude is set up. Either the single fiber does not respond with spike production, or it responds to the utmost of its ability under the conditions at the moment. This property of the single nerve fiber is termed the all-or-none relationship. It should be emphasized that this relationship applies only to the unit of tissue, as well as to skeletal muscle units (the unit being the individual muscle fiber) and to the heart(the unit being the entire auricles or the entire ventricles).

Skeletal muscle Skeletal muscle is one of three major muscle types, the others being cardiac muscle and smooth muscle. It is a form of striated muscle tissue which is under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system. Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones by bundles of collagen fibers known as tendons. A skeletal muscle refers to multiple bundles of cells called muscle fibers (fascicles). The fibres and muscles are surrounded by connective tissue layers called fasciae.

- Because all of the muscle fibers in a motor unit are controlled by a single motor neuron, all of the fibers will contract in response to the motor neuron stimulus. When the nerve impulse is so great that one motor neuron cannot handle it; the excess impulse is shunted to other motor neurons.

Kansas City University of Medicine & BiosciencesDepartment of PhysiologyAbout the Department Helpful Links BlackboardExcitation of Smooth Muscle Cells Unlike skeletal muscle, there is no specialized connection between the nerve fiber and the smooth muscle cell. The nerve fibers essentially passes close to the smooth muscle cells and releases the neurotransmitter (which is not restricted to acetylcholine-see below) from swellings in the fiber, called varicosities.n addition, the neurotransmitter can bind to any one of the nearby smooth muscle cells, a flexibility not found in the NMJ. The chemicals that influence smooth muscle cells: As you'll recall, there is only one neurotransmitter released at the neuromuscular junction-acetylcholine.

- 1 - Because skeletal muscle is voluntary muscle, contraction requires a nervous impulse. So, step 1 in contraction is when the impulse is transferred from a neuron to the SARCOLEMMA of a muscle cell.2 - The impulse travels along the SARCOLEMMA and down the T-TUBULES.keletal muscles are usually attached to bone by tendons composed of connective tissue. This connective tissue also ensheaths the entire muscle & is called epimysium. Skeletal muscles consist of numerous subunits or bundles called fasicles (or fascicles).

WHAT IS MEANT BY ALL-OR-NONE PRINCIPLE IN MUSCLE CONTRACTION? DISCUSS BRIEFLY THE MECHANISM OF MUSCLE CONTRACT? Best Answer: The all or none principle behind muscle contraction is simple...the strength by which a nerve or muscle fiber responds to a stimulus is not dependent upon the strength of the stimulus. So, any stimulation above the normal threshhold will trigger a neve or muscle fiber to give a COMPLETE response, or none at all. They found this out in 1871 while studying cardiac muscle function.

Muscle and Muscle Fibers Skeletal muscle tissue is attached to our bones. It is striated; that is, the fibers (cells) contain alternating light and dark bands (striations) that are perpendicular to the long axes of the fibers. Skeletal muscle tissue can be made to contract or relax by conscious control (voluntary).mooth muscle tissue is located in the walls of hollow structures such as blood vessels, the stomach, intestines, and the bladder. Smooth muscle fibers are usually involuntary, and they are non-striated (smooth). Smooth muscle tissue, like skeletal and cardiac muscle tissue, can undergo hypertrophy (growth).

Hydrogen Because the previous example proved that 33.4 kilowatt hours of electricity is equivalent (in energy) to one gallon of gasoline (114,000 BTU); this means 33.4 kilowatt hours is also equivalent (in energy) to one kilogram of hydrogen gas.

- A single action potential in a motor neuron is sufficient to produce an action potential in a skeletal-muscle fiber. Table 11-2 summarizes the events leading to the contraction of a skeletal-muscle fiber. Muscle fibers form ATP by the transfer of phosphate from creatine phosphate to ADP, by oxidative phosphorylation of ADP in mitochondria, and by substrate-level phosphorylation of ADP in the glycolytic pathway. 2  At the beginning of exercise, muscle glycogen is the major fuel consumed.

Differences Between Smooth Muscle Contractions Vs. Skeletal Muscle Contractions Your body is composed of three types of muscle: skeletal muscle, smooth muscle, and cardiac muscle. Skeletal muscle makes up 40 percent of your total body weight, and smooth muscle and cardiac muscle each make up 5 percent of total body weight. Your muscles must contract in order to facilitate vital bodily functions.ontraction. Although skeletal muscles and smooth muscles serve very different functions, both muscle groups use the same mechanism of contraction called the sliding filament model.

Histology@ Yale Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle is mainly responsible for the movement of the skeleton, but is also found in organs such as the globe of the eye and the tongue. It is a voluntary muscle, and therefore under conscious control. Skeletal muscle is specialized for rapid and forceful contraction of short duration. Skeletal muscle is made up of elongated cylindrical multinucleate cells, also called muscle fibers, that span the length of the muscle. Each muscle cells is surrounded by connective tissue called endomysium. Endomysium is similar in composition to basement membrane that underlies epithelia.

Chapter 8: Muscular System When one portion of the cardiac muscle network is stimulated, the resulting impulse passes to the other fibers of the network, and the whole structure contracts as a unit; that is, the network responds to stimulation in an all-or-none manner.

Histology Testbank: Muscle 5a Skeletal muscle fibers can be classified as red fibers, white fibers or intermediate fibers. Red fibers are smaller in diameter; white fibers are larger in diameter. Red fibers have more mitochondria than white fibers. Red fibers make up slow-twitch muscle; white fibers make up fast-twitch muscle.

- Skeletal muscle cells (fibers), like other body cells, are soft and fragile. The connective tissue covering furnish support and protection for the delicate cells and allow them to withstand the forces of contraction. The coverings also provide pathways for the passage of blood vessels and nerves.lso known as striated muscle or striped muscle, a type of muscle, attached to bones, that is responsible for skeletal movements.
