Each past of the system is operated by the nervous system‚ which has its main control center in the brain‚ this creates voluntary movement such as kicking a ball. The body moves through different muscle contractions‚ these contractions are

Results A left gastrocnemius muscle of a frog (L=3.2cm in situ) was used in experiment 1 and 2‚ while a right gastrocnemius muscle of a frog (L=3.4cm in situ) was used in experiment 3. The sciatic nerve of the frog was placed over the stimulatory electrodes covered with a piece of a Kimwipe moistened with Ringer’s solution. The relationship between muscle length‚ force production and velocity of contraction was studied. Force transduced calibration In order to get a more accurate data from force

There are three phases for muscle cell contraction: initiation of action potential in the sarcolemma‚ excitation-contraction coupling‚ and contraction‚ sliding of the myofilaments. ATP and calcium ions are two essential elements for muscle contraction. When ATP attaches to the myosin head‚ it gets hydrolyzed to ADP and Pi. Calcium ions bind to the troponin molecules and help expose the binding sites of actin filaments to allow for the attachment of the myosin heads. After the sliding of the myofilaments

I.PARIETAL or SOMATIC MUSCLES The Parietal muscles which completely covers the whole body of dogfish consists of: 1. Myotomes - zigzag series which is separated from one another by: 2. Myosepta - white connective partitions 3. Lateral septum - white longitudinal line in the middle part

Introduction: Skeletal muscle cells are specialized cells that contain multinucleated muscle fibers called myocytes. These myocytes contain thicker fibers that facilitate the release of calcium‚ the generation of an action potential within the sarcolemma‚ and the subsequent production of a muscle contraction. Muscle contractions are a direct byproduct of motor unit recruitment‚ and for this lab we can examine these effects with aid of a finger pulse transducer and a bar stimulus electrode. The

Skeletal muscle is made up of bundles of individual muscle fibres called myocytes. Each myocyte contains many myofibrils‚ which are strands of proteins (actin and myosin) that can grab on to each other and pull. This shortens the muscle and causes muscle contraction. It is generally accepted that muscle fibre

Jesus Pagan Domestic Cars vs. Imports In 1890 the American auto industry was born‚ it was the fastest growing auto industry in the world. By 1928 the first affordable automobile was released. The Ford Model T shortly after the American market became dominated by three major car manufacturers. Ford‚ Chrysler and General Motors. Those companies continued to prosper and become extremely successful. That was until the late 1970’s when oil prices skyrocketed and increased competition from foreign

Muscle Cell at rest: As the muscle cell is at rest it has a resting potential of -90mV. The K+ is all located inside the cell‚ the Na+ is located outside of the cell and the Ca2+ is located inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum. All leak channels and pumps are closed at this point. Muscle Cell stimulated by Acetylcholine: A motor neuron releases Acetylcholine which diffuses toward the muscle cell across the neuromuscular junction. As the Acetylcholine binds to a receptor on the muscle

Muscle Strain Overview- Muscle strain‚ also termed as muscle tear and muscle pull is related to the muscle damage and its attached tendons. It occurs when you give excessive pressure on muscles during performing daily life activities like during sports or heavy weight lifting.it can be in the form of tearing of the fibres of your muscles and attaching tendons. In addition to this it also affects small blood vessels which leads to bleeding‚ bruising and pain. Causes- A severe muscle strain occurs

Muscles of mastication are known to be the most crucial muscles in the head aside from the muscles that are required to show facial expressions. The four muscles of mastication include: • Masseter muscle • Temporalis muscle • Medial pterygoid muscle • Lateral pterygoid muscle Each of which has a
