Biology 102 Learning Outcome 6

Muscular System Lab


Total - 28 marks

1. Go to the following link to watch a ‘Muscle Contraction’ video quiz.

https://edpuzzle.com/assignments/5fdba04d84fff742a7e5c058/watch
You will not need to set up an account but may need the following class code ertikeg to view the
video. Click on “Open Class’ in the top menu bar and enter the class code or enter
https://edpuzzle.com/open/ertikeg into your browser.

Using what you learned in the video quiz, summarize in point form, the events that occur
between the arrival of a nerve impulse at the synaptic knob, to the completion of a muscle
contraction in the sarcomere. (6 marks)
