Stimulus
1. If the stimulus is applied at the black bar, which sensory neuron will have the highest frequency of action potentials and why?
2. If the stimulus is applied at the black bar, which sensory neuron will have the lowest frequency of action potentials and why?
3. What happens at the region of the membrane indicated by the arrow?
Four first-order sensory neurons with receptive membranes at bottom.

Consider the four second-order sensory neurons (A- D) across the top of the diagram.Assume there are interneurons arranged in a typical pattern that interconnects these neurons.
1. If the stimulus is applied at the black bar, which 2nd order neuron will have the highest frequency of action potentials and why?
2. If the stimulus is applied at the black bar, which 2nd order neuron will have the lowest frequency of action potentials and why?

Characteristics: Location, cell shape, nuclei per cell, innervation, connections to adjacent myofibers, arrangement of actin and myosin, regulation of cross bridges, sources of Ca++, response to injury, etc.
Different types of muscles for different tasks!

The concentration of free calcium is directly related to force of contraction in skeletal muscle
Thus we need to understand the cellular mechanism of contraction… cell biology flashbacks…
High fAP leads to accumulation of Ca++ in sarcoplasm because Ca++ ATPase doesn’t return all Ca++ to SR quickly enough.
