What chemical reactions occur in the muscle during latent period of muscle contraction?

During the latent period of muscle contraction Ca++ is being released from the sacroplasmic reticulum and filament movement is taking up slack. This takes approx. 2 milliseconds.

What is the short amount of time between the time of stimulation and the beginning of contraction in a skeletal muscle?
latent period
Immediately following the arrival of the stimulus at a skeletal muscle cell is a short period called the ------------ period during which the events of excitation-contraction coupling occur?
latent period
What is the first phase after a stimulus in a muscle contraction?
Latent Phase
What are the three stages of muscle cell contraction?
A Muscle Twitch is a single contraction of skeletal muscle. The three distinct phases are latent, contraction, and relaxation. Latent Phase: Is the interval from the stimulus application until the muscle begins to contract (shorten). Note that there is no traced activity during this phase, but there are some electrical and chemical changes taking place during this phase. Contraction Phase: This phase is when the muscle fibers shorten, the tracings will show during this phase (a) peak(s). Relaxation Phase: This phase is represented by the downward curve in your tracings, this is when the muscle is going back to its original state of relaxation and the muscle will once again lengthen
Brief delay that occurs between application of the stimulus and the beginning of contraction?
Latent Period
What happens during skeletal muscle contraction?
During the latent period of muscle contraction Ca++ is being released from the sacroplasmic reticulum and filament movement is taking up slack. This takes approx. 2 milliseconds.
Why do chemists use stoichiometry?
Chemists use Stoichiometry To make sure substances that are in the exact proportions that are required for a given reaction.This is performed by measuring the Latent Heats involved with these Chemical Reactions.
