To study the physiology of nerve fibers, you would need to isolate a specific muscle and the nerve innervating that muscle. This allows for the investigation of the interaction between the nerve and muscle, observing the transmission of signals and studying the response of the muscle to nerve stimulation. Commonly studied muscles and nerves in this context include the gastrocnemius muscle and the sciatic nerve in animal models.

Does a nerve provided impulses for many muscle fibers or just few?
A nerve can stimulate impulses to several muscle fibers. When muscle fibers are grouped they form a single muscle group like the biceps.
Animals are motile because they have?
nerve and muscle fibers.
Taste fibers to anterior two thirds of the tongue are carried by?
the Chorda Tympani nerve ( a branch of the facial nerve VII) which joins the lingual nerve medial to the lateral pterygoid muscle.
The point of contact between the nerve and the muscle fibers it stimulates is called a?
neuromuscular junction
Which autonomic motor fibers are carried by the vagus nerve?
Vagus nerve carries parasynpathetic nerve fibers .
Does a nerve provided impulses for many muscle fibers or just few?
A nerve can stimulate impulses to several muscle fibers. When muscle fibers are grouped they form a single muscle group like the biceps.
Muscle fibers contract and relax in response to what?
nerve impulses
When a single neuron sends a strong enough impulse to a muscle that how many muscle fibers does it cause to contract?
This will depend upon the number of muscle fibers the nerve innervates. However, all fibers innervated by the nerve should contract in response to the neuronal impulse.
Animals are motile because they have?
nerve and muscle fibers.
What the function of the motor nerve fibers?
The motor nerve fibers help stimulate the Erector pili muscle. 1E19C8CC-7D89-BDE4-BA84-6679CBF217D2 1.02.28
What is the psoas nerve?
The psoas nerve is the nerve that innervates the psoas major muscle. It is formed by fibers of spinal nerves L2-L4.
What connect muscle fibers and nerve fibers?
they work together because the molecules in the blood form a whole and that whole leads them to work together
Why is the threshold voltage for nerve lower than the threshold voltage for muscle?

The area where the muscle and nerve fiber intersect is called what?
The area where muscle and nerve fibers intersect is called the neuromuscular junction. This junction is functions as the site of communication that connects the nervous and muscular system.
What usually triggers muscle fibers to contract or relax?
The contraction is triggered by the release of calcium within the muscle which is triggered by an electrical signal from a nerve.
What is the function of nerve fiber?
The motor nerve fibers help stimulate the Erector pili muscle. 1E19C8CC-7D89-BDE4-BA84-6679CBF217D2 1.02.28
What is the clinical importance of cremestric muscle reflex?
Well you can asses the function of ilioingunial nerve and genitofemoral nerve. Cremasteric relfex can be demonstarted by lightly touching the skin of the upper medial thigh, resulting in a slight elevation of the testis. The sensory fibers of the reflex are carried by the L1 fibers of the Ilioinguinal nerve and the motor response is a functional of the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve that innervates the cremastric muscle.
