Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location‚ action‚ shape‚ and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Descriptive terms are used to name skeletal muscles. Some names give the location in the body. The temporalis muscle is attached to the temporal bone in the skull. The brachialis muscle is attached to the humerus bone‚ but brachial refers to the main artery in the arm. Some muscles are named for their origins and insertions‚ like the genioglossus

kinds of microscopes include; phase-contrast‚ dark-field‚ polarizing and UV. Each of these microscopes differs in the source and manner in which the light is passed through the specimen to be viewed. The microscopes that are usually used in biology labs are compound binocular or monocular light microscopes. Compound microscopes have a minimum of two magnifying lenses (ocular and objective). Binocular microscopes have two eyepieces while the monocular ones have one eyepiece. The ocular lens of a

Introduction Jan Swammerdam‚ who demonstrated that an isolated frog muscle could be made to contract when the sciatic nerve was irritated with a metal object‚ conducted the first muscle experiments between 1661 and 1665. Later‚ between 1737-1798 Luigi Galvani determined that frog muscle responded to electrical currents. The kymograph‚ which was invented in the late 1840’s lead to the revolution of experimental physiology because it enabled muscle contractions to be analyzed and recorded. The muscle

the inner ear. The fluid-filled inner ear consists of the spiral-shaped cochlea (an ancient Greek word for the shell of a snail). The passageways of the cochlea are lined with about 20‚ 000 microscopic hair cells that convert sound vibrations into nerve impulses which are then sent to the brain. Here‚ these impulses are interpreted as meaningful sounds. There are only 15‚000 hair cells to perform this analysis‚ and they pass the information to the auditory

The purpose of lab number thirteen was to examine the response of the daphnia to a chemical stimulant. Also examined was how human resting heart rates differed from the daphnia’s. Stimulants are any substances that raise the levels of activity in the body. Stimulants could be a number of things such as physical or chemical. Physical stimulus usually deal with something that affects the five senses such as sight‚ hearing these could be attributed to loud noises or too much light going into your eye
