Animals have three types of muscles; skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. This lab however is only concerned with skeletal muscle. A special characteristic of skeletal muscle is their ability to contract or shorten via thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments (Flanagan‚2017). This gives a striated appearance which is a key distinguishing characteristic between other types of muscle (Flanagan‚2017). Skeletal muscle is also multinucleated. Skeletal muscle needs plentiful amounts of energy to be able to

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 also allowed students to see how the muscle activity was recorded by an electromyogram

Our biology class has graduated from fruit to frogs. We were scheduled to do the frog unit in April‚ but the frog company delivered our victims on January 14. Pickled frogs have a way of disappearing from the storage closet‚ so today Ms. Keen armed us with knives and told us not to gag. David Petrakis My Lab Partner is thrilled--anatomy at last. There are lists to memorize. The hopping bone’s connected to the jumping bone‚ the ribbet bone’s connected to the fly-catching bone. He seriously talks

different than humans. First‚ the lungs in a frog have thin walls and are shaped like balloons. When frogs swim‚ they fill their lungs with air‚ which helps them stay buoyant while swimming. Frogs also do not have diaphragms compared to humans. They only breathe through their nose. They use muscles in their throat sacs to help move the air in‚ and then is pushed to the lungs. During this time‚ their mouth is closed. Body contractions allow the frogs to release carbon dioxide. When us humans breathe

the action of electricity on the muscles of dissected frogs. In 1783‚ while working with static electricity on a table at which he had dissected a frog‚ his assistant accidentally touched the frog with a charged scalpel and its legs kicked outward as a frog’s legs would while it’s living. This made Galvani the first to appreciate the relationship between life and electricity. He used the term animal electricity to describe whatever it was that activated the muscles of his specimens. Galvani’s

In photo one‚ the frog is seen with no cuts‚ the skin is seen. The skin is smooth similar to a worm’s flesh. The skin has pores invisible to the naked eye inside to the naked eye shown in photo ten. The students could not identify what was that green structure shown in photo two. In photo three showing the webbed feet‚ the students noticed that the toes were connected‚ this must have been used for swimming‚ this similar to man made fins‚ which helps humans swim faster and easier. In photo four‚ the

HISTORY:- DISCOVERY OF INDIA BY JAWAHARLAL NEHRU INTRODUCTION:- The Discovery of India was written by India’s first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru during his imprisonment in 1942-1946 at Ahmednagar in the Ahmednagar Fort. Nehru was jailed for his participation in the Quit India movement along with other Indian leaders‚ and he used this time to write down his thoughts and knowledge about India’s history. The book is widely regarded as a classic in India since its first publication in 1946

contraction in skeletal muscle is caused by specialized intracellular thin and thick filaments‚ actin and myosin‚ sliding past each other. Contraction and relaxation of skeletal muscle bring about body movements. These body movements are voluntary and facilitated by the somatic nervous system. Near contact between somatic motor neurons and the muscle fibers are referred to as neuromuscular junctions. It is at the neuromuscular junctions that neurons are able to transmit a signal to the muscle fibers causing

Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how muscles contract‚ what makes muscles contract‚ different types of muscle contraction‚ and learn about how resistance affects muscle contraction. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Recruitment (or Multiple
