The heart is the organ that supplies blood and oxygen to all parts of the body. It is about the size of a clenched fist‚ weighs about 10.5 ounces and is shaped like a cone. The heart is located in the chest cavity just posterior to the breastbone‚ between the lungs and superior to the diaphragm. The heart is surrounded by a fluid filled sac called the pericardium. Blood is pumped away from the heart through arteries and returns to the heart through veins. The major artery of the body is the aorta and

The series of events prompting muscle contraction is started some place in the central nervous system‚ either as willful action from the brain or as reflex action from the spinal cord. Beginning with depolarization at the neuromuscular junction‚ the depolarizing impulse discharges acetylcholine from the nerve ending. Which then diffuses over the neuromuscular junction (a chemical synapse formed by the contact between a motor neuron and a muscle fiber). At the motor end plate‚ the acetylcholine joins

degeneration of muscles is causes by progressive damage and loss of muscle cells with linked to weakness. There is a decrease in the force which muscle can exert. Our muscle become tired and it will cause of muscle fatigue. There are common causes why our muscles become weak. Lack of use is the most common causes of muscle weakness. Muscles become chunky and more floppy because muscles are not used then the fibers within the muscles partially replaced with fat. Aging is another factor of muscle degeneration

Nutrition A Muscle Contraction Muscle Contraction is part of an organ in the body that is tensive. It may have a process of tensions that may be developed with muscle tissues. Contraction can be a meaning of shortening or long. Muscle Contraction can also produce a muscle cell that is for movement of the body. Myosin and Actin is an interaction protein to Muscle Contraction‚ it can be changed by shape but not by volume. Skeletal Muscle contraction is produce by heat. The muscles may receive signal

Muscle Test #1 Study Guide 1. What are the primary functions of muscles? What are skeletal muscles made of? Five Skeletal Muscle Functions 1.Produce movement of the skeleton •By pulling on tendons that then move bones 2.Maintain posture and body position 3.Support soft tissues •With the muscles of the abdominal wall and the pelvic floor 4.Guard entrances and exits •In the form of sphincters 5.Maintain body temperature •When contraction occurs‚ energy is used and converted to heat

properly for bodybuilding Have you ever wondered how to gain the muscle without gaining a lot of body fat? Here I will explain to you why bulking is of substantial importance in the sport of bodybuilding. I will inform you on what kind of a diet you should follow‚ when to bulk‚ the training that goes along with it‚ and proper rest to ensure that you get maximum muscle growth. Most bodybuilders bulk up to gain size‚ muscle and strength. If I wanted to compete even at the amateur level and decided

When you measure the length of the latent period from a printed graph‚ you measure the time between the application of the stimulus and the beginning of the first observable response(increase in force). The computer can’t “look ahead‚” anticipating the change in active force. To measure the length of the latent period using the computer‚ click the
