2010 Lab 7
From Embryology
Muscle development. Development and differentiation of muscle fibres and fibre types. This is the same lab I did last year where I got the students to look at a series of images of muscle sections that have been stained to show the different fibre types throughout development and I ask a series of questions concerning differentiation and conversion and they think about it in groups and we discuss their responses. Then we look at a series of images from a mouse that expresses a transgene that influences fibre type choice and we discuss what has happened using the same structure.
