Reflex Control of Abdominal Flexor Muscles in the Crayfish I. the Twitch System
The polyneuronal innervation of crustacean muscles has been well explored in decapod limbs, both comparatively at the level of entire muscles (Wiersma & Ripley, 1952) and, by means of single motor axon stimulation and microelectrode recording, at the level of single muscle fibres (Fatt & Katz, 1953a, b; Furshpan, 1955; Hoyle & Wiersma, 1958). Experiments of the latter sort have shown that motor...
متن کاملProperties of the fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum from fast twitch and slow twitch muscles.
Skeletal muscle of guinea pigs is composed of at least three types of fibers which are distinguishable by their kinetic and histochemical properties. Fast twitch muscles may be histochemically red or white; fragmented sarcoplasmic reticulum (FSR) prepared from both types of fast twitch muscles has identical calcium-accumulating capacity (maximal calcium uptake) and calcium-concentrating ability...
متن کاملSize and Proportions of Slow-Twitch and Fast-Twitch Muscle Fibers in Human Costal Diaphragm
Smaller diaphragmatic motor unit potentials (MUPs) compared to MUPs of limb muscles lead to the hypothesis that diaphragmatic muscle fibers, being the generators of MUPs, might be also smaller. We compared autopsy samples of costal diaphragm and vastus lateralis of healthy men with respect to fibers' size and expression of slow myosin heavy chain isoform (MyHC-1) and fast 2A isoform (MyHC-2A). ...
متن کاملChronic hypobaric hypoxia increases isolated rat fast-twitch and slow-twitch limb muscle force and fatigue.
Chronic hypoxia alters respiratory muscle force and fatigue, effects that could be attributed to hypoxia and/or increased activation due to hyperventilation. We hypothesized that chronic hypoxia is associated with phenotypic change in non-respiratory muscles and therefore we tested the hypothesis that chronic hypobaric hypoxia increases limb muscle force and fatigue. Adult male Wistar rats were...
متن کاملIntracellular calcium movements during excitation–contraction coupling in mammalian slow-twitch and fast-twitch muscle fibers
In skeletal muscle fibers, action potentials elicit contractions by releasing calcium ions (Ca(2+)) from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Experiments on individual mouse muscle fibers micro-injected with a rapidly responding fluorescent Ca(2+) indicator dye reveal that the amount of Ca(2+) released is three- to fourfold larger in fast-twitch fibers than in slow-twitch fibers, and the proportion of t...
