Study Notes
Practical Nerve and Muscle Kymograph Components
- The sciatic nerve is used as a stimulus in the Practical Nerve and Muscle Kymograph.
- The counterbalance weight is used to counteract the weight of the drum and the writing arm in the Practical Nerve and Muscle Kymograph, allowing for smooth movement.
- The frog heart clip represents the preparation of the frog's heart in the Practical Nerve and Muscle Kymograph setup, which is used to record the contractions and relaxations of the frog's heart.
