Lesson Plan

Name Description
Introduction to Muscle Physiology

This is an introductory exercise for a section on muscle physiology. It consists of a worksheet that can be used in any one of a number of teaching/learning styles. It is intended as a formative assessment and is the first in a series. Extra credit/extension questions are included at the end for advanced students. A PowerPoint show version is also included if the teacher chooses to use guided discussion with the entire class; some extra resources and background information are included in the PowerPoint. Teacher's versions of the worksheet and PowerPoint are included with answers (worksheet) and extra background information and commentary (PowerPoint). The author's intent is to have a series of activities related to all three standards on muscle physiology.

Tutorials

Name Description
Anatomy of a Muscle Cell

This Khan Academy video describes the structure of muscle cells. The tutorial details the muscle cell from the macro skeletal muscle to the individual cell of the muscle, called the myofiber. The functions of actin and myosin and how they cause muscles to contract are also explained.

Muscle Contraction


This tutorial will help students understand the process of muscle contraction. A muscle contains many muscle fibers and each fiber contains a bundle of 4-20 myofibrils. Each fibril is striated and these striations are produced by the arrangement of thick and thin filaments, called actin and myosin. The contraction and relaxation of these actin and myosin filaments help muscles move.
