Pre-lab Quiz Results
You scored 100% by answering 5 out of 5 questions correctly.
1 During an isometric contraction
You correctly answered: the skeletal muscle is generating force, but it remains at a fixed
length.
2 The force that results from muscles being stretched is
You correctly answered: passive force.
3 Active force
You correctly answered: is determined by the amount of myosin bound to actin.
4 When you generate the isometric length-tension curve, which of the following forces will not
be indicated on your screen?
You correctly answered: tetanic force.
5 Passive force in skeletal muscle is largely caused by
You correctly answered: the protein titin.
Experiment Results
Predict Question
1 Predict Question: As the resting length of the muscle is changed, what will happen to the
amount of total force the muscle generates during the stimulated twitch?
Your answer: Total force can increase or decrease depending upon the starting resting
length.

1 Note the dip in total force at a muscle length of 90 mm as compared to the total force at a
muscle length of 80 and 100 mm. Why does this occur?
You correctly answered: At this muscle length, active force has decreased in value and
passive force has not yet increased to a significant value.
