1. Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber, motor unit, skeletal muscle twitch, electrical stimulus,
and latent period. Your answer:
a. Serat otot rangka adalah penyebutan untuk satu sel otot rangka yang relatif besar,
memanjang, dan berbentuk silindris. Otot rangka terdiri dari sejumlah serat-serat otot
yang sejajar satu sama lain dan disatukan oleh jaringan ikat.
b. Unit motoric adalah kompleks neuron motoric dan saraf otot yang disarafinya
c. Kedutan adalah kontraksi singkat lemah di sebuah saraf otot yang disebabkan oleh satu
potensial aksi
d. Stimulus listrik adalah tegangan rangsangan melalui elektroda
e. Periode laten adalah penundaan waktu beberapa milidetik antara stimulasi dan awitan
kontraksi

Sumber: Sharewood 8th edition

2. What is the role of acetylcholine in a skeletal muscle contraction? Your answer:


Asetilkolin merangsang pembukaan kanal kation nonspesifik dengan cara berikatan
dengan reseptor-kanal spesifiknya di cakram motoric membran. Pembukaan kanal ini
menyebabkan perpindahan Na+ masuk ke dalam sel otot dalam jumlah yang lebih besar
daripada K+ keluar sel dan menghasilkan potensial end-plate.

Sumber: Sharewood 8th edition

3. Describe the process of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle fibers. Your


answer:
Penggabungan eksitasi-kontraksi merujuk ke serangkaian proses yang mengaitkan eksitasi
otot (adanya potensial aksi di serat otot) dengan kontraksi otot (aktivitas jembatan
silang yang menyebabkan filamen-filamen tipis bergeser bersama untuk
memperpendek sarkomer). Otot rangka dirangsang untuk berkontraksi oleh pelepasan
asetilkolin (ACh) di taut neuromuskulus antara terminal neuron motorik dan serat otot.
Pengikatan ACh dengan cakram motorik suatu serat otot menyebabkan perubahan
permeabilitas di serat otot, menghasilkan potensial aksi yang dihantarkan ke seluruh
permukaan membran sel otot. Peristiwa yang terjadi pada eksitasi-kontraksi:
1) Jembatan silang myosin akan mengikat molekul aktin
2) Jembatan silang menekuk menarik miofilamen tipis ke arah dalam
3) Jembatan silang terlepas di akhir kayuhan kuat dan kembali ke konfirmasinya semula
4) Jembatan silang mengikat molekul aktin yang terletak lebih distal; siklus akan terjadi
berulang. Sumber: Sharewood 8th edition

4. Describe the three phases of a skeletal muscle twitch. Your answer:


Dalam proses terjadinya kedutan pada otot rangka, terdapat tiga fase, yaitu fase laten,
kontraksi dan relaksasi. Fase laten adalah ketika terjadi penundaan waktu beberapa
milidetik antara stimulasi dan awitan kontraksi. Pada fase kontraksi, terjadi pembentukan
tegangan di dalam serat otot yang di timbulkan oleh interaksi geser antara filamen tebal dan
tipis melalui aktivitas jembatan silang. Pembentukan tegangan ini pasti membutuhkan
waktu, dari awitan kontraksi higga pembentukan tegangan puncak, inilah yang disebut
waktu kontraksi. Kemudian relaksasi, terjadi respon terhadap potensial aksi berupa
penyerapan kembali semua Ca2+ oleh kantong lateral. Kadar Ca2+ yang ada di sitosol
akan berkurang, jumlah jembatan silang dan gaya kontraksi keseluruhan juga berkurang,
waktu antara tegangan puncak hingga relaksasi inilah yang disebut waktu relaksasi.

Sumber: Sharewood 8th edition

5. Does the duration of the latent period change with different stimulus voltages? How well did
the results compare with your prediction?

11/02/23 page 6
Your answer:

Durasi periode laten tidak berubah dengan adanya perbedaan tegangan dari stimulus,
sesuai dengan prediksi pada saat percobaan. Ketika gaya minimum untuk menghasilkan
tegangan pada otot sudah tercapai, periode laten dalam proses kedutan otot akan muncul
dan durasinya tidak berubah ketika tegangan dinaikkan.

6. At the threshold stimulus, do sodium ions start to move into or out of the cell to bring about
the membrane depolarization?
Your answer:
Ya, pembukaan kanal kation nonspesifik menyebabkan adanya perpindahan Na+ masuk ke
dalam sel otot dalam jumlah yang lebih besar daripada perpindahan K+ keluar sel, terjadilah
aliran arus lokal antara end-plate yang mengalami depolarisasi membran sekitar.

Review Sheet Results
1. Describe the effect of increasing stimulus voltage on isolated skeletal muscle.
Specifically, what happened to the muscle force generated with stronger electrical
stimulations and why did this change occur? How well did the results compare with
your prediction?
Your answer:
Peningkatan intensitas rangsangan listrik pada penelitian ini meniru cara sistem saraf
meningkatkan jumlah unit motorik yang diaktifkan. Rangsangan listrik yang lebih kuat
meniru mekanisme dari rekrutmen unit motorik. Kontraksi yang lebih kuat
membutuhkan lebih banyak unit motorik yang direkrut atau dirangsang untuk
berkontraksi. Sehingga, semakin besar rangsangan listrik maka semakin besar
juga kekuatan otot yang dihasilkan. Tegangan total otot yang semakin besar
disebabkan semakin besarnya jumlah serat otot yang berkontraksi. Karena itu, otot
yang lebih besar yang mengandung serat otot yang lebih banyak dapat menghasilkan
tegangan yang lebih besar daripada otot kecil dengan sedikit serat otot.

Sumber: Sharewood 8th edition

2. How is this change in whole-muscle force achieved in vivo? Your answer:


Satu potensial aksi di sebuah serat otot menghasilkan kontraksi singkat lemah yang
disebut kedutan, yang terlalu singkat dan terlalu lemah untuk dapat digunakan dan
secara normal tidak berlangsung di tubuh. Serat-serat otot tersusun membentuk otot
lengkap, tempat mereka berfungsi secara kooperatif untuk menghasilkan kontraksi
dengan kekuatan bervariasi dan lebih kuat
daripada kedutan. Dengan kata lain, otot yang sama dapat menghasilkan kekuatan
yang berubah-ubah. Dua faktor utama yang dapat diubah-ubah untuk menghasilkan
variasi tegangan otot utuh adalah: (1) jumlah serat otot yang berkontraksi di dalam
satu otot dan (2) tegangan yang dihasilkan oleh masing-masing serat yang
berkontraksi. Rekrutmen unit motorik itulah yang bisa mengubah jumlah serat otot
yang berkontraksi di dalam satu otot. Ini terjadi dengan adanya kerjasama antara
neuron dan saraf otot.

Sumber: Sharewood 8th edition

3. What happened in the isolated skeletal muscle when the maximal voltage was
applied? Your answer:
Seiring dengan potensial aksi yang meningkat, tegangan dalam komponen seri-elastik
yang ditransmisikan ke tulang secara progresif meningkat hingga tegangan mencapai
maksimal. Frekuensi potensial aksi yang meningkat juga menambah durasi
peningkatan konsentrasi Ca2+, dan karenanya aktivitas kontraktil meningkat hingga
kontraksi tetanik maksimal tercapai. Jika serat otot dirangsang sedemikian cepat
sehingga serat tersebut sama sekali tidak mendapat kesempatan untuk berelaksasi di
antara rangsangan, timbul kontraksi menetap dengan kekuatan maksimal yang dikenal
sebagai tetanus. Pada tetanus, jumlah maksimum tempat pengikatan jembatan silang
tetap terbuka sehingga dapat terjadi siklus jembatan silang, dan sebagai
konsekuensinya, pembentukan tegangan mencapai puncaknya.

1. What is the difference between stimulus intensity and stimulus frequency? Your answer:
Stimulus intensity merujuk pada kekuatan stimulus yang dikirim ke otot, sedangkan stimulus
frequency merujuk pada kecepatan pengiriman stimulus ke otot.

Physiology.

2. In this experiment you observed the effect of stimulating the isolated skeletal muscle
multiple times in a short period with complete relaxation between the stimuli. Describe the force
of contraction with each subsequent stimulus. Are these results called treppe or wave
summation?
Your answer:
Ketika stimulasi diberikan dalam periode yang singkat dengan terjadinya relaksasi sempurna
otot rangka, sehinga ketegangan otot yang dihasilkan meningkat secara bertahap seperti
tangga. Hal ini disebut sebagai Treppe.

3. How did the frequency of stimulation affect the amount of force generated by the isolated
skeletal muscle when the frequency of stimulation was increased such that the muscle twitches
did not fully relax between subsequent stimuli? Are these results called treppe or wave
summation? How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Frekuensi ditingkatkan sehingga kedutan otot tidak sepenuhnya rileks diantara rangsangan
berikutnya akan terjadi efek penggabungan eksitasi-kontraksi dari pensinyalan neuron motorik
berturut-turut ditambahkan bersama-sama yang disebut sebagai penjumlahan gelombang atau
wave summation. Semakin tinggi frekuensi yang diberikan, maka stimulus yang overlapping
juga akan meningkat. Hasil kurang sesuai dengan prediksi sebelumnya, dimana seiring
pemberian stimulus berulangkali tidak terjadi penurunan gaya.

Physiology.

4. To achieve an active force of 5.2 g, did you have to increase the stimulus voltage above 8.5
volts? If not, how did you achieve an active force of 5.2 g? How well did the results compare
with your prediction?
Your answer:
Hasil sesuai dengan prediksi saya, untuk mencapai gaya aktif 5.2 g dilakukan dengan
meningkatkan stimulus voltege. Frekuensi potensial aksi (impuls saraf) dari neuron motorik dan
jumlah neuron motorik yang mentransmisikan potensial aksi keduanya mempengaruhi
ketegangan yang dihasilkan pada otot rangka.

Physiology.

5. Compare and contrast frequency-dependent wave summation with motor unit recruitment
(previously observed by increasing the stimulus voltage). How are they similar? How was each
achieved in the experiment? Explain how each is achieved in vivo.
Your answer:
11/09/23 page 25

Frequency-dependent wave summation dihasilkan dengan meningkatkan frekuensi


rangsangan, sedangkan motor unit recruitment meningkatkan kekuatan dengan mengatur lebih
banyak serat otot melalui peningkatan tegangan (voltase).

Frequency-dependent wave summation dapat didapatkan melalui pemberian stimulus berkali-


kali, sedangkan pada motor unit recruitment didapatkan melalui meningkatkan voltase.

Dalam situasi "in vivo" (di dalam tubuh), hal ini dapat dicapai ketika otot-otot menahan beban
tubuh melawan gaya gravitasi. Tubuh akan secara bergantian mengaktifkan serat-serat otot
untuk menghindari kelelahan otot. Penjumlahan gelombang (wave summation) dapat terjadi
apabila potensial aksi (selang waktu dari 1 hingga 2 milidetik) jauh lebih singkat daripada durasi
kontraksi otot yang dihasilkannya (sekitar 30 hingga 100 milidetik). Setelah terjadi potensial
aksi, terjadi periode refrakter singkat di mana potensial aksi berikutnya tidak dapat terjadi. Oleh
karena itu, penjumlahan potensial aksi tidak dapat terjadi saat itu. Membran sel harus kembali
ke potensial istirahatnya dan pulih dari periode

5. Compare and contrast frequency-dependent wave summation with motor unit recruitment
(previously observed by increasing the stimulus voltage). How are they similar? How was each
achieved in the experiment? Explain how each is achieved in vivo.
Your answer:
Frequency-dependent wave summation dan motor unit recruitment, keduanya meningkatkan
intensitas tetapi dengan cara yang berbeda. Wave summation berarti menambahkan frekuensi
stimulus oleh sistem saraf untuk meningkatkan intensitas kontraksi otot secara keseluruhan.
Sedangkan motor unit recruitment menambah voltasi untuk meningkatkan gaya aktif.

1. Describe how increasing the stimulus frequency affected the force developed by the
isolated whole skeletal muscle inthis activity. How well did the results compare with your
prediction?
Your answer:

Hiperkontraksi pada serat otot dapat disebabkan oleh kontraksi yang berlangsung terus-
menerus akibat arus bolak-balik pada frekuensi tertentu yang melewati otot tanpa
memengaruhi perubahan potensial transmembran yang diperlukan untuk memicu
potensial aksi. Kenaikan dalam frekuensi rangsangan terjadi saat otot menghasilkan
tegangan dengan setiap gaya yang berurutan dan memiliki batasan seperti yang telah
diprediksikan sebelumnya.

cells to systems, 8th (8th ed.). Wadsworth Publishing

2. Indicate what type of force was developed by the isolated skeletal muscle in this
activity at the following stimulus frequencies: at 50 stimuli/sec, at 140 stimuli/sec, and
above 146 stimuli/sec.
Your answer:
Jika serat otot dirangsang dengan frekuensi yang tinggi sehingga serat tersebut tidak
memiliki kesempatan beristirahat sama sekali di antara rangsangan, terjadi kontraksi
maksimal berkepanjangan yang dikenal sebagai tetanus. Ketika frekuensi stimulus 50
stimulus per detik, otot mengalami siklus kontraksi cepat dengan fase relaksasi singkat
pada masing-masing siklus. Hal ini mengakibatkan tidak terjadi relaksasi total (tetanus
tidak sempurna), dan tegangan otot naik dan turun pada tingkat yang berbeda. Namun,
ketika frekuensi stimulus mencapai 140 stimulus per detik, serat-serat otot tidak
mengalami relaksasi antarstimulus, dan tetanus menjadi sempurna. Pada tingkat ini,
tegangan otot tetap konstan. Dengan meningkatnya frekuensi stimulus di atas 146
stimulus per detik, gaya yang dihasilkan menyebabkan tegangan otot mencapai
maksimum pada tingkat tertinggi.

cells to systems, 8th (8th ed.). Wadsworth Publishing.

3. Beyond what stimulus frequency is there no further increase in the peak force? What
is the muscle tension called at thisfrequency?
Your answer:
Pada saat frekuensi mencapai 146, ketegangan otot mencapai tegangan maksimumnya.
Ketersediaan Ca2+ di sitosol yang berkepanjangan memungkinkan penambahan
jembatan silang yang ikut serta dalam proses siklus untuk waktu yang lebih lama.
Akibatnya, tegangan yang terbentuk semakin tinggi. Seiring dengan meningkatnya

1. When a skeletal muscle fatigues, what happens to the contractile force over time?
Your answer:
Ketika otot rangka mengalami fatigue atau kelelahan, kekuatan kontraktil akan berkurang
seiring waktu. Fatigue atau kelelahan otot terjadi ketika otot mencapai tegangan
maksimumnya, tidak akan ada lagi peningkatan kekuatan kontraksi otot.

2. What are some proposed causes of skeletal muscle fatigue?


Your answer:
Penyebab dari kelelahan pada otot rangka yaitu adanya penumpukan ADP, Pi, dan asam
laktat di otot sebagai hasil dari penggunaan ATP yang diperlukaan saat kontraksi.
Penggunaan otot yang terus-menerus memerlukan pasokan oksigen dan glukosa agar dapat
terjadi respirasi aerobik yang menghasilkan ATP untuk kontraksi otot. Apabila kontraksi otot
terjadi terus-menerus, energi akan dihasilkan melalui proses respirasi lain, yaitu respirasi
anaerob. Respirasi anaerob inilah yang akan menghasilkan penumpukan asam laktat pada
otot.

3. Turning the stimulator off allows a small measure of muscle recovery. Thus, the muscle will
produce more force for a longer time period if the stimulator is briefly turned off than if the
stimuli were allowed to continue without interruption. Explain why this might occur. How well
did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Ketika stimulator dimatikan, akan terjadi fase istirahat antara stimulus satu dengan stimulus
selanjutnya, sehingga akan mengulur terjadinya kelelahan atau fatigue pada otot, sehingga
tidak terjadi penumpukan ADP, Pi, dan asam laktat. Oleh karena itu, tegangan pada otot
terus-menerus dapat dipertahankan lebih lama.Sehingga, sesuai dengan prediksi yang telah
dibuat, durasi waktu istirahat akan berbanding lurus dengan waktu yang digunakan untuk
tegangan otot yang
terus-menerus.

4. List a few ways that humans could delay the onset of fatigue when they are vigorously using
their skeletal muscles. Your answer:
Dengan latihan fisik yang cukup, kapasitas metabolisme otot dapat berubah sehingga
menunda timbulnya kelelahan otot. Otot yang digunakan untuk latihan anaerobik intensitas
tinggi akan mensintesis lebih banyak enzim glikolitik, sedangkan otot untuk latihan aerobik
dengan daya tahan lama akan mengembangkan lebih banyak kapiler dan mitokondria.
Latihan dengan repetisi ringan juga dapat melatih ketahanan otot, karena terdapat jarak
antar kontraksi otot.

1. What happens to the amount of total force the muscle generates during the stimulated
twitch? How well did the results compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Jumlah usaha yang dikeluarkan oleh otot dipengaruhi oleh waktu istirahat otot mula-
mula. Baik pada pemanjangan maupun pemendekan otot, keduanya akan mengubah
jumlah usaha yang dihasilkan oleh otot. Jika otot diperpanjang maka aktivitas otot pasif
meningkat, sementara jika otot diperpendek maka aktivitas otot aktif meningkat. Oleh
karena itu, sesuai dengan hasil prediksi, dengan adanya usaha dari otot aktif dan pasif,
total usaha akan berubah naik atau turun tergantung pada panjang otot mula-mula.

Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2023.

3. Based on the unique arrangement of myosin and actin in skeletal muscle sarcomeres,
explain why active force varies with changes in the muscle's resting length.
Your answer:
Gaya aktif dihasilkan dari filamen tebal miosin yang berikatan dengan filamen aktin tipis,
mengaktifkan siklus jembatan silang dan hidrolisis ATP. Usaha otot aktif bergantung pada
panjang istirahat otot. Ketika panjang istirahat otot diperpendek, jumlah usaha aktif
meningkat. Ketika panjang istirahat otot diperpanjang, jumlah usaha aktif berkurang.
Perubahan besaran usaha ini tergantung pada jumlah miosin yang terikat pada aktin.
Semakin pendek panjang istirahat otot, semakin banyak filamen miosis yang berikatan
dengan filamen aktin.

1. If you were using your bicep muscles to curl a 7-kg dumbbell, when would your muscles
be contracting isotonically?
Your answer:
Saat seseorang mengangkat lengan ke atas dari posisi lurus ke bawah(fleksi), dan juga saat
seseorang mengembalikan lengan ke posisi ke bawah(ekstensi). Kontraksi isotonik adalah
kontraksi otot di mana tegangan menyebabkan panjang otot berubah (memanjang atau
memendek) dan benda/beban mengalami pergerakan. Ketika mengangkat dumbbell seberat
7 kg dengan posisi fleksi, otot bicep akan memendek, sudut sendi berkurang, dan dumbbell
terangkat. Sebaliknya, otot bicep akan memanjang ketika menurunkan dumbbell dengan
posisi ekstensi, tetapi dalam kondisi otot masih berkontraksi.

2. Explain why the latent period became longer as the load became heavier in the experiment.
How well did the resultscompare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Prediksi saya benar, periode laten akan meningkat. Periode laten adalah penundaan singkat
yang
terjadi di antara potensial aksi otot (stimulus) dan awal dari kontraksi otot yang mewakili
waktu yang diperlukan untuk pelepasan Ca2+ dari retikulum sarkoplasma dan difusinya ke
filamen kontraktil. Pelepasan Ca2+ tersebut berperan penting dalam proses kontraksi otot
selanjutnya, di mana semakin banyak Ca2+ yang dilepaskan maka semakin banyak pula
yang berikatan dengan troponin membentuk cross bridge untuk menahan gerakan beban
dan memperlambat proses pemanjangan otot. Hal ini yang menyebabkan periode laten akan
semakin lama ketika beban bertambah berat karena lebih banyak Ca2+ yang harus dipompa
keluar untuk menghasilkan kontraksi otot yang cukup untuk menahan beban.

3. Explain why the shortening velocity became slower as the load became heavier in this
experiment. How well did theresults compare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Prediksi saya benar, shortening velocity atau kecepatan kontraksi akan menurun. Otot
rangka akan lebih cepat berkontraksi dalam kondisi tanpa adanya beban. Kecepatan
kontraksi menjadi semakin berkurang seiring bertambahnya beban. Ketika beban
ditingkatkan hingga mencapai maksimum kekuatan yang dapat diberikan oleh otot,
kecepatan kontraksi menjadi nol dan tidak ada kontraksi yang dihasilkan, meskipun serat
otot telah diaktifkan. Penurunan kecepatan kontraksi ini disebabkan oleh kenyataan bahwa
beban pada otot adalah gaya balik yang melawan gaya kontraktil yang dihasilkan oleh
kontraksi otot. Oleh karena itu, besarnya kekuatan beban dapat menyebabkan shortening
velocity atau kecepatan kontraksi otot menjadi berkurang.

4.Describe how the shortening distance changed as the load became heavier in this experiment.
How well did the resultscompare with your prediction?
Your answer:
Prediksi saya benar, kecepatan pemendekan berkurang dengan peralatan yang lebih berat.
Kontraksi otot terdiri atas pemendekan filamen kontraktil, tetapi karena otot memiliki elemen
elastis yang terlibat dalam mekanisme kontraksi sehingga kontraksi dapat muncul tanpa
penurunan panjang otot yang signifikan, seperti pada kontraksi isometrik. Kontraksi isometrik
terjadi ketika beban ditingkatkan hingga mencapai maksimum kekuatan yang dapat diberikan
oleh otot sehingga kecepatan kontraksi menjadi nol dan tidak terjadi pergerakan pada beban.
Kontraksi otot terhadap beban konstan dengan adanya penurunan panjang otot disebut
kontraksi isotonik. Kontraksi isotonik dapat terjadi karena kerja adalah produk dari gaya yang
dihasilkan oleh otot dikali dengan jarak pergerakan benda sehingga kontraksi isotonik
melakukan kerja (dapat menggerakkan benda), sedangkan kontraksi isometrik tidak.

5. Explain why it would take you longer to perform 10 repetitions lifting a 10-kg weight than it
would to perform the samenumber of repetitions with a 5-kg weight.
Your
answer:
Pengangkatan beban 10 kg dengan 10 kali pengulangan akan membutuhkan waktu lebih
lama dibanding pengangkatan beban 5 kg dengan 10 kali pengulangan karena terkait
dengan berat beban. Semakin bertambah berat beban maka periode laten akan meningkat,
shortening velocity/kecepatan kontraksi akan berkurang, distance lifted/jarak pergerakan
benda juga akan berkurang, dan durasi kontraksi otot akan menjadi lebih lama. Periode laten
akan semakin lama ketika beban bertambah berat karena lebih banyak Ca2+ yang harus
dipompa keluar untuk menghasilkan kontraksi otot yang cukup untuk menahan beban.
Shortening velocity/kecepatan kontraksi akan berkurang karena beban adalah gaya balik
yang melawan gaya kontraktil yang dihasilkan oleh kontraksi otot. Otot rangka akan lebih
cepat berkontraksi dalam kondisi tanpa adanya beban. Kecepatan kontraksi menjadi
semakin berkurang seiring bertambahnya beban. Beban yang lebih berat akan sulit
diimbangi oleh gaya kontraktil otot sehingga dapat berujung pada berkurangnya pergerakan
beban dan waktu yang dibutuhkan untuk otot berkontraksi dapat menjadi lebih lama.

end of the isolated whole skeletal muscle used in these experiments. Simultaneously, the
muscle is maximally stimulated by 8.5 volts and the platform supporting the weight is
removed. Will the muscle generate force? Will the muscle change length? What is the name
for this type of contraction?
Your answer:
11/09/23 page 55
Nama kontraksinya adalah kontraksi isometrik. Otot akan tetap menghasilkan kekuatan
karena energi akan tetap dikeluarkan sebagai upaya untuk menopang beban yang turun
pada posisi terfiksasi (tidak digerakkan). Panjang otot tidak mengalami perubahan karena
kontraksi otot yang ada tidak digunakan ataupun di luar kemampuan untuk menggerakkan
beban.
