The Effect of Calcium Chloride, Sodium Chloride, and Potassium Chloride on the Expansion of a Bos Taurus Striated Muscle Tissue

Our experiment was on the effect of calcium, sodium, and potassium chloride on the expansion of striated muscle tissue. Before running our trials, we expected that a high concentration of calcium chloride would have the greatest effect on the expansion of the muscle tissue. After running the experiment, we concluded that a high concentration of Potassium Chloride, a high concentration of Sodium Chloride, and a low concentration of Calcium Chloride yield the largest expansion of muscle tissue. The greatest effect from a single factor came from Calcium Chloride. In conclusion, we accepted our hypothesis that Calcium Chloride would have the greatest effect on the expansion of striated muscle tissue.
