Question

7. You and your lab partner are doing an experiment in the physiology lab. Each of you has an isolated muscle cell and you are supposed to stimulate it with an electrode as soon as its absolute refractory period ends. Your partner has a cardiac muscle cell and you have a skeletal muscle cell. Which one of you will use your electrode more times in one minute

Answer 1

Answer: I will use the electrode on the skeletal muscle cell more times in a minute than my partner will.

Explanation:

Based on the information given, an electromyograph tracing can be used on order to know when to use the electrode for the scenario explained.

An electromyograph is simply a machine that is used for the detection and the recording of the electrical potential that's been generated by muscle cells when such muscle cells are activated.

Due to the fact that a skeletal muscle cell while my partner has a cardiac muscle cell, I'll have to use the electrode on the skeletal muscle cell more times in a minute than my partner will.
