Abstract:

A. V. Hill's 1938 paper "The heat of shortening and the
dynamic constants of muscle" is an enduring classic, presenting
detailed methods, meticulous experiments, and the model of
muscle contraction that now bears Hill's name. Pairing a
simulation based on Hill's model with a reading of his paper
allows students to follow his thought process to discover key
principles of muscle physiology and gain insight into how to
develop quantitative models of physiological processes. In this
article, the experience of the author using this approach in a
graduate biomedical engineering course is outlined, along with
suggestions for adapting this approach to other audiences.
