Briefly explain the relationship between length and force development in striated muscle.

As the sarcomere is stretched, the number of cross-bridges formed and the tension developed will decrease. As length decreases below optimal, fewer cross-bridges form due to physical interference, less tension development.

Imagine you visit the gymnasium for a workout and you suddenly remember a topic from chapter 9 in EXSC 223.

Now explain the regulation of skeletal muscle force production from the lowest to the heaviest weight lifted.

frequency of stimulation greater frequency of stimulation myofibers increases force production until tetany due to increased cytosolic calcium and more cross-bridges motor unit recruitment more motor units are recruited as need for force increases start with small, slow motor units progressively increase number of motor units recruit larger and faster motor units until all motor units are recruited (size principle)
