Weekend Reading

Hi Kin 535,

Some more great readings for the weekend to keep you busy….

 Wilkie Chapter 4 pp 26 to 32

 McMahon Chapter 1 pp 3 to 8

 Nigg & Herzog Chapter 2.5 pp 154 to 167

 

I also found another website with a good muscle reading that looks like a good resource, although I don’t like the title:

http://www.unmc.edu/physiology/Mann/mann14.html

 

I should have slides for next Tuesday posted by Monday night.  Also, don’t forget to think about why the isometric twitch and tetanus force responses look they way they do, that’s where we will start on Tuesday.
