Abstract

The mechanical properties of obliquely striated muscle fibres were investigated using thin slices of mantle from squid Alloteuthis subulata and cuttlefish Sepia officinalis. Brief tetani or twitch stimuli were used as this pattern is likely to occur during jetting of the intact animal. The length­active force relationship for twitches and tetani (0.1s, 50Hz) was similar to that of vertebrate cross-striated fibres. Passive force at the length giving maximum tetanic force was 0.13±0.05P0 (mean ± s.e.m., N=6, where P0 is maximum isometric tetanus force) and increased steeply at longer lengths. Peak force in a brief isometric tetanus (0.2s, 100­150Hz) was 262±16mNmm-2 cross-sectional area of wet tissue (N=6) for squid, and 226±19mNmm-2 (N=7) for cuttlefish. The force­velocity relationship for isotonic shortening during twitches of squid mantle slices was a 'double hyperbolic' relationship as described for cross-striated fibres by Edman. Fitting Edman's equation to the results gave: P*=1.18±0.07, Vmax=2.43±0.11Ltws-1 and 1/G=0.69±0.13 (N=8), where P* is the intercept on the force axis expressed relative to Ptw, peak isometric twitch force, Vmax is the intercept on the velocity axis, Ltw is the length at which Ptw is produced and G is the constant expressing curvature. The large values of 1/G indicate that the force­velocity relationship is not very curved. Maximum power was produced during shortening at 0.45±0.03Ptw (N=8). Maximum power during twitch contraction was 18.3±1.7mWg-1w…

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.
