Muscle Contractility

Producer: University of California (UC Davis)

Compares fast and slow contracting muscles of the cat, using isometric recordings integrated with muscle histochemistry. To illustrate determination of resting length, a length-tension curve is constructed for the medial gastrocnemius muscle, which is then compared in detail to the soleus by means of isometric recordings.
