    Muscular dystrophy (MD) can be described as a group of diseases that cause continuing weakness and loss of muscle mass. (Article 1‚ pg.1) Muscular dystrophy effects homeostasis because abnormal genes (mutations) interrupts the production of proteins that the body needs to form healthy muscle. (Article 1‚ pg.1) The nine major forms of muscular dystrophy are Myotonic‚ Duchenne‚ Becker‚ Limb-girdle‚ Facioscapulohumeral‚ Congenital‚ Oculopharyngeal‚ Distal‚ and Emery-dreifuss. (Article 2‚ pg.1-2) The

    Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy General Description What is Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and where does it come from? Firstly‚ it is a kind of muscle dystrophy. The word dystrophy refers to when an organ or tissue wastes away. A muscle dystrophy is a group of many inherited disorders that cause loss of muscle tissue and weakness in muscles. Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness caused by a defective gene for dystrophin‚ a protein

    Roshan Mathew Myotonic Muscular Dystrophy 10/28/14 Myotonic muscular dystrophy is part of a group of muscular disorders that are called muscular dystrophies. It is the most common form of muscular dystrophy that begins in adulthood. “Myotonic dystrophy is characterized by progressive muscle wasting and weakness” (Myotonic‚ 2010). typically people who have this disorder have whats called myotonia‚ a prolonged muscle contraction‚ and they are not able to relax some muscles. For example

    In this lab‚ we are measuring the EMG amp (mV)‚ or electrical activity‚ from action potentials produced from muscle contractions in order to gain an indication of the number of active motor units used in the contraction. This is done by adding more load to the muscle or force. There is examining of the EMG amp produced from a twitch at varying levels of muscle force and EMG amp from muscles when more load is placed on them. During the experiment‚ we set up the equipment‚ electrodes and software

    Cynthia T.B. Nguyen Professor Sarkissian Bio 2710 - Anatomy & Physiology Wednesday‚ 13 February‚ 2013 iWorx Lab Report 01 - Agonist/Antagonist Muscles In this first iWorx lab‚ students studied and observed agonist and antagonist muscles. Agonist‚ which are also known as prime movers‚ are the main muscles that are responsible for bringing two bones closer. The antagonist‚ is the muscle that relaxes as the agonist contracts. The lab was a physical example to show students which muscle was which. It

    Electromyography in the Abductor Pollicis Brevis‚ Bicep‚ and Tricep Muscles of a Human”. July 6‚ 2015. PCB 3713L- General Physiology Lab‚ Section #001 Introduction Skeletal muscles are responsible for most of the locomotion seen in humans and animals. Electromyography can be used to measure the electrical activity emitted from the muscle and nerves that control the muscle. This electrical activity is seen when a neuron ignites an action potential that activates the muscle fibers that were innervated

    II-Needle Electromyography: Is complements nerve conduction studies and serves a critical role in the evaluation of both muscle and nerve diseases. Recording the electrical activity of the muscle cell membrane with a needle electrode inserted in the muscle‚ the motor unit potential (MUP) can be recorded. Electromyography is performed using an instrument called electromyograph‚ to produce a record called electromyogram. This represents the summated electrical activity of action potentials of all
