Fig. 6

Mechanical response to the repeated stretches/releases of the calcium-activated DLM (a, b) and the tymbal (c, d) muscle fibers from Platypleura kaempferi. (a) and (c), slower time base; (b) and (d), faster time base. Upper trace, length (stretch upward); lower trace, force. In d, the responses to both 5-Hz and 10-Hz repetitions are indicated. The gap between the two horizontal gray lines (indicated by arrows) is the amplitude of the stretch-activated force
