Impedance of Membrane and Myoplasm during the Action Potential of Frog Muscle
نویسندگان
چکیده
The transient imbalance of a Wheatstone bridge was used to estimate the changes in both membrane and myoplasmic impedance that occurred as an action potential propagated over a 1 mm length of a frog muscle fiber. It was also used to estimate the changes in the membrane impedance alone. Alterations in myoplasmic impedance that might have been predicted were not found.

Effects of ionic parameters on behavior of a skeletal muscle fiber model
All living cells have a membrane which separates inside the cell from it's outside. There is a potential difference between inside and outside of the cell. This potential difference will change during an action potential. It is quite common to peruse action potentials of skeletal muscle fibers with the Hodgkin-Huxley model. Since Hodgkin and Huxley summarized some controlling currents like inwa...
متن کاملCalcium buffering properties of sarcoplasmic reticulum and calcium- induced Ca release during the quasi-steady level of release in twitch fibers from frog skeletal muscle
Contraction in skeletal muscle is initiated when Ca stored in the SR is released into the myoplasm in response to membrane depolarization. Studies of the mechanisms that control SR Ca release are aided by methods that permit estimating the Ca permeability of the SR membrane or, equivalently, the extent of activation of the SR Ca release channels. This quantity is proportional to the rate of Ca ...

The elastimeter method was applied to the single muscle fiber of the frog semitendinosus to obtain the elastic moduli of the sarcolemma and myoplasm, as well as their relative contributions to resting fiber tension at different extensions. A bleb which was sucked into a flat-mouthed pipette at the fiber surface separated into an external sarcolemmal membrane and a thick inner myoplasmic region....
متن کاملThe myoplasm of ascidian eggs: a plasma membrane skeleton which is modified during evolution
This paper addresses the molecular organization and evolution of a plasma mem brane skeleton in ascidian eggs. The myoplasm of ascidian eggs contains proteins related to ankryin, spectrin and NaKATPase, which are present in the plasma membrane skeleton of vertebrate cells. The membrane skeletal proteins co-distrib ute and segregate with the myoplasm throughout development. These proteins firs...
