Predict Question:
Predict Question: Will changes to the stimulus voltage alter the duration of the latent period?
Your answer : b. No, changing the stimulus voltage will not change the latent period duration.

1. Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber, motor unit, skeletal muscle twitch, electrical stimulus, and latent
period.
Acetylcholine yang berdifusi ke sarcolemma dan berikatan dengan reseptor di sana akan membuka ion
channel dan merangsang perubahan permeabilitas membran sehingga terjadi depolarisasi dan timbul
potensial end plate selanjutnya akan memicu terjadinya kontraksi otot.
Excitation-contraction coupling adalah keadaan saat potensial aksi pada neuron yang menyebabkan
sekresi asetilkolin yang akan berikatan pada reseptor di end plate membrane sel otot. Adanya asetilkolin
menyebabkan timbulnya potensial end plate yang akan memicu serangkaian peristiwa yang
menyebabkan otot berkontraksi.
• Periode Latent : tidak ada force, terjadi antara dibentuknya potensial aksi pada otot dan
dimulainya kontraksi otot.
• Fase Kontraksi : dimulai saat periode latent berakhir sampai tegangan otot memuncak.
• Fase Relaksasi : rentang waktu antara tegangan otot yang memuncak sampai berakhirnya
kontraksi otot.
5. Does the duration of the latent period change with different stimulus voltages? How well did the results
compare with your prediction?
Saya memprediksi durasi dari Periode Latent tidak akan berubah meskipun terjadi perubahan tegangan
atau voltage. Berdasarkan praktikum yang telah dilakukan, prediksi ini terbukti dengan pengukuran durasi
Periode Latent menetap di angka 3.40 msec, meskipun dilakukan 4 kali percobaan dengan kondisi
secara berurut 4 volts, 6 volts, 8 volts, 10 volts.
6. At the threshold stimulus, do sodium ions start to move into or out of the cell to bring about the
membrane depolarization?
Untuk menyebabkan terjadinya depolarisasi membran, ion sodium atau natrium bergerak ke dalam sel
bukan sebaliknya.
