Abstract
Vocalis muscle tissue was dissected from live dogs and kept alive in Krebs-Ringer solution for several hours. The temperature of the tissue was maintained at approximately 37 °C by a circulating fluid around the sample holder. Force-elongation responses of the vocalis muscle under various levels of stimulated muscle activity were obtained through one-dimensional stretch and release. Both force and elongation were monitored electronically with a Cambridge Technology Dual Servo System (ergometer), while stimulation was applied to the muscle with fine-wire electrodes and a Grass stimulator. Families of force-elongation curves for various frequencies of stimulation and various relaxation times are given, from which average elastic constants, such as Young's modulus, can be estimated.
