متن کاملThe sarcomere length-tension relation in skeletal muscle
Tension development during isometric tetani in single fibers of frog semitendinosus muscle occurs in three phases: (a) in initial fast-rise phase; (b) a slow-rise phase; and (c) a plateau, which lasts greater than 10 s. The slow-rise phase has previously been assumed to rise out of a progressive increase of sarcomere length dispersion along the fiber (Gordon et al. 1966. J. Physiol. [Lond.]. 18...
متن کاملSarcomere length and tension changes in tetanized frog muscle fibers after quick stretches and releases.
The sarcomere length changes in tetanized frog muscle fibers in response to quick fiber length changes were examined along the fiber length with a high-sensitivity laser diffraction technique. The experiments were only performed with muscle fibers in which the uniform orientation and sarcomere length of the component myofibrils were well preserved during a tetanus. When the sarcomere length cha...
متن کاملResting Sarcomere Length-Tension Relation in Living Frog Heart
The sarcomere pattern and tension of isolated resting frog atrial trabeculae were continuously monitored. In the absence of any resting tension the sarcomere lengths varied with the diameter of the trabeculae. In over 75 % of the trabeculae the value exceeded 2.05 microm, the estimated in vivo length of the thin filaments, and it was never less than 1.89 microm. When the trabeculae were stretch...
متن کاملSarcomere lengthening and tension drop in the latent period of isolated frog skeletal muscle fibers
A laser diffraction technique has been developed for registering small changes in sarcomere length. The technique is capable of resolving changes as small as 0.2 A in isolated frog skeletal muscle fibers. The small sarcomere lengthening that accompanies the drop in tension in the latent period of contraction was investigated. We suggest this lengthening be named latency elongation (LE). The LE ...
