You are in the gym and doing strength training. You feel in good shape and should try to break personal records in squats. You place the bar on your back and start to take in, ie. your motor neurons begin to send action potentials through all your motor units to the thigh muscles. Task 1: Describe how these action potentials lead to your muscles contracting. The description must follow the correct sequence order and you must explain what happens and why

Question
Muscle physiology: You are in the gym and doing strength training. You feel in good shape and should try to break personal records in squats. You place the bar on your back and start to take in, ie. your motor neurons begin to send action potentials through all your motor units to the thigh muscles. Task 1: Describe how these action potentials lead to your muscles contracting. The description must follow the correct sequence order and you must explain what happens and why. Task 2: What is the contraction called when you a) bend down and b) are in good shape and can generate more force than what the bar weighs c) stay standing in a and the same position without being able to push yourself up while standing?
