    Muscle Contraction Project

    Due: Thursday, February 2nd


    Worth: 100 points Test

    Your mission is to come up with a creative way to teach how muscles contract to a
    freshman student. You should not dumb down the material, but rather find a
    creative medium to help the student learn the concepts. Some of the acceptable
    formats could include: a song, a rap, a comic, a cheer, or a board game. Other
    ideas may be acceptable, but should be approved by Thursday, January 26 th. You
    may choose to work with a partner, but then you must turn in a log of what each of
    you contributed to the project. This log must be signed by you both. Some
    concepts/terminology that should be included in your project are listed below. In
    order for the concepts/terminology to count for your assignment, each must get
    more than mention in your project. Note that all the words in the category must be
    used appropriately to attain that letter grade. If you do the project and cover
    muscle contraction from the motor neuron through the muscle cell, you will receive
    50 points. Each word you use appropriately in a category (showing its function/role)
    will add 2 points. The bonus words will add 1 point each up to 10 points. You must
    get all words in the previous category to receive full credit for the next category.
    Otherwise, you will only receive half credit.

    D Words: ATP
    Muscle Cell Sodium
    Motor Neuron ADP
    Calcium Synaptic Cleft
    Thick Filaments Troponin Complex
    Thin Filaments
    Bonus Words (for that high A):
    C Words: Phosphate
    Actin Cross Bridge
    Myosin Aceylcholinesterase
    Sarcoplasmic Reticulum Cisterna(e)
    T Tubules Ion Pumps
    Sarcolemma Myofibril
    Zone of Overlap
    B Words: Troponin
    Acetylcholine Tropomyosin
    Receptors Active Site
    Lock and Key Relaxation
    Action Potential Sarcoplasm
    Sarcomere Endomysium
    Epimysium
    A Words: Perimysium
    Multinucleate Voluntary
    Striated
    If you want to know how muscles work in your bodies,
    So you can exercise, like do some Pilates,
    First you need acetylcholine to dump in the space
    Between your motor neuron and muscle cells, to race
    Onto the receptors it fits like a key
    To unlock the muscle cell and then they say, wee
    The message travels across the membrane
    Called the sarcolemma in this refrain
    (acceptable - explaining)

    Today I want to teach you something new


    About your muscles and all of it is true.
    First you have filaments, and then you have calcium,
    And dont forget the epi- and the endomysium.
    (not acceptable only listing)
