    1. The findings presented indicate that the contractile phase, as indicated by the twitch duration, is markedly prolonged by cooling with both direct and indirect stimulation

      The findings show that lower temps increase time muscles take to contract.

    2. Explain what these graphs are telling us.You can list a few observations or describe it by writing your own figure caption

      Graphs express that higher temp lead to higher stimulation. Colder temps lower activity.

    1. In these experiments weobserved that, before exercise, rats treatedwith CMP/UMP had significantly highermuscle glucose concentrations comparedto nontreated rats

      The rats treated with the CMP/UMP had higher muscle glucose concentrations leading them to be able to exercise longer since they have more energy.

    2. Explain what the graph in Fig 1 istelling us

      Figure 1 - Compares exhaustion time (in minutes) of non-treated rats (represented in black) to treated rats (represented in white).

    1. Are there benefits to this difference in activities from low to high concentrations of venom

      The low doses can assist in developing anti-venom medicines. The higher doses cause the muscles to twitch more which can be used to increase neuromuscular transmission.

    2. Although the main effects of scorpion venom arelikely to be due to toxins that affect the opening ofion channels in nerve and muscles

      likely due to toxins causing the channels to open more but not fully understood
