    cycle describes the coordinated and rhythmic series of muscular contractions associated with the normal heart beat. The cardiac cycle can be subdivided into two major phases‚ the systolic phase and the diastolic phase. Systole occurs when the ventricles of the heart contract. Accordingly‚ systole results in the highest pressures within the systemic and pulmonary circulatory systems. Diastole is the period between ventricular contractions when the right and left ventricles relax and fill. The cardiac

    MUSCLE LAB REPORT ANATOMY& PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION Muscle action is often described as departures from the standard position of the body‚ the anatomical position. Muscle fiber is an interaction of organelles and molecules within myosin binds to actin and exerts a pulling action. The result of this movement with myofibrils in which the filaments of actin and myosin slide past one another. This action shortens or contracts muscle fiber so that it pulls on its attachment. Muscle are stimulated

The tibialis anterior‚ rectus femoris‚ bicep femoris‚ and the gastrocnemius muscle of the kicking leg were also analyzed (Katis‚ 2012). The accuracy of the kick depends on different activation of muscles and the position in which the body is in. In a given game‚ where the target to kick the ball is‚ is always

    Human Muscular System Visceral muscle is found inside of organs like the stomach‚ intestines‚ and blood vessels. The weakest of all muscle tissues‚ visceral muscle makes organs contract to move substances through the organ. Because visceral muscle is controlled by the unconscious part of the brain‚ it is known as involuntary muscle—it cannot be directly controlled by the conscious mind. The term “smooth muscle” is often used to describe visceral muscle because it has a very smooth‚ uniform
