MANY PROCESSES MUST TAKE place within the skeletal muscle fibres in order for muscle contraction to occur. The cross bridge cycle‚ process by which the muscle length is shortened as myosin heads‚ extending from the myosin filaments‚ interact cyclically in a rowing motion with the actin filament (Rayment et al. 1993)‚ is one of the crucial mechanical events required. The mechanism is initiated when an ATP molecule is bound to a myosin head. An enzyme within the head. known as ATPase‚ hydrolyzes the

Muscle Strain Overview- Muscle strain‚ also termed as muscle tear and muscle pull is related to the muscle damage and its attached tendons. It occurs when you give excessive pressure on muscles during performing daily life activities like during sports or heavy weight lifting.it can be in the form of tearing of the fibres of your muscles and attaching tendons. In addition to this it also affects small blood vessels which leads to bleeding‚ bruising and pain. Causes- A severe muscle strain occurs

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

Hop-Frog is justified for many reasons. The first reason is that he never had a real name‚ people made up the name Hop-Frog. “I believe the name Hop-Frog was not the given to the dwarf by his sponsors at baptism‚ but it was conferred upon him‚ by general consent of the several minister on account of his inability to walk as other men do.”(Poe 1).

However‚ these effects can vary greatly‚ with some species being affected greatly‚ and others not at all. For example‚ UV-B radiation can cause the skin of Gray Tree frogs to darken‚ and cause them to swim less. For others‚ like the Pacific Tree frog‚ this radiation can reduce larval survival and increase abnormalities in behavior and development. Other common effects include increased embryo mortality and behavioral avoidance. Interestingly‚ different populations of amphibian species can be differently
