cause a rapid conduction and its providing a very strong contraction to the ventricular muscle. The intercalated discs are a network that allows the rapid transmission of the electrical impulses and this allows the action potentials to travel to one cardiac muscle cells to the next. Sympathetic Nervous System carry the nerve impulses from the brain (medulla oblongata) to the heart and it releases hormones (that increases the heart rate). Parasympathetic Nervous System also releases hormones that slow

and teeth‚ it has an essential role in many body metabolic functions and processes. Calcium is not only used in the structure of bones and teeth‚ but it is required in many other body functions including‚ but not limited to‚ cardiac action potentials‚ the contraction of cardiac‚ skeletal and smooth muscle‚ blood clotting‚ and the transmission of neural impulses (Edwards‚ 58). Calcium ions are necessary in the process of muscle contraction. When muscles contract‚ the constituent fibers shorten. The

The cardiac pump is thrown out of gear‚ and the last of its vital energy is dissipated in a violent and prolonged turmoil of fruitless activity in the ventricular walls." He also describes the electrical stimulation of the heart in cases of "fatal syncope" in man. "A single induction shock readily causes a beat in an inhibited heart‚ and a regular series of induction shocks (for example‚ sixty or seventy per minute) gives a regular series of heartbeats at the same rate."

South University Online Faculty: Mary Blasingham Week 6 Discussion Assignment 1 Evaluate the anatomical and physiological similarities and differences between skeletal‚ cardiac and smooth muscle. During our reading‚ we have learned that there are three types of muscles found in the human body. As the text stated‚” Without these muscles tissues‚ nothing in the body would move. Therefore‚ there wouldn’t be any physical enjoyment

details of structure and types of muscles‚ please see the basic anatomy article “”. For details of microscopic structure of muscles‚ pleas see the histology article “”. Muscles are basically of three types; Skeletal Muscles‚ Smooth Muscles and Cardiac Muscles. Skeletal Muscles: Skeletal muscles form most of the human body weight. They are under the control of human will and all body movements occurring by our will are produced by skeletal muscles. They are called skeletal muscles because they

Probation and parole officers have similar job duties in which they both monitor and supervise offenders that are under correctional supervision. Probation officers supervise offenders at the front end of the sentencing period‚ which means they monitor offender’s behavior in the community and their compliance with the conditions of probation. Probation officers usually work with either adults or juveniles exclusively. Probation officers report any violation of probation to the courts. Parole officers
