The influence of activity on some contractile characteristics of mammalian fast and slow muscles

Open access

Abstract

1. The time course of contraction and relaxation in the isometric twitch of a rabbit soleus muscle becomes more rapid following tenotomy and spinal cord section. This increase in speed could be prevented by long‐term electrical stimulation at frequencies of 5 or 10/sec. It was not prevented by stimulation at frequencies of 20 or 40/sec. 2. Long‐term electrical stimulation of fast rabbit and cat muscles at a frequency of 10/sec had a slowing effect on the time course of contraction and relaxation. 3. It is concluded that the almost continuous low frequency discharge of motoneurones innervating postural muscles plays an important part in establishing and maintaining the slow time course of contraction of these muscles. The characteristically different speeds of contraction of fast and slow striated muscles can in this way be related to the different patterns of impulse activity which they normally receive.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
