Animal Phyla Lab Adapted from “Phylum Lab” produced by the National Aquarium in Baltimore The diversity of animal life on Earth is astounding. Each animal has a unique body plan which allows it to survive and adapt to its given surroundings. With such an abundance of species‚ classifying animals into different categories is necessary. At first the diversity of animals can be overwhelming‚ but after further research and observation‚ many likenesses appear. These similarities become the basis for

we begin to experience the damages and pain we created for ourselves during our more youthful years. There are a number of factors that can make us more susceptible to bone disease. In this paper I will be discussing Osteoporosis‚ Osteoarthritis‚ Muscle Atrophy and the effects they would have on an eighty year old woman. The women’s physical condition is thin‚ small boned‚ and is Caucasian. None of these characteristics are in her favor of making her less likely to fall victim to the above bone or

length-tension relationships represent an important part in the function of skeletal muscle. When skeletal muscle is stimulated‚ passive tissue rapidly changes into dynamic tissue which can produce force. Furthermore‚ during this process‚ the length of muscle may decrease‚ increase‚ or remain the same. Moreover‚ the amount of power a muscle can produce depends on its length‚ velocity and stimulation Powers & Howley (2015). Muscle velocity and stimulation are normally in a constant when creating a length-tension

CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

Have you like me tried to build and gain muscle ‚ or maybe you just looking for a bit more info on the subject. Building muscles are not really easy but if more effort is devoted to muscle building in no time we can gain the type of muscle we want.To build muscle fast requires a muscle building workout plan.I could remember when i tried muscle building without any workout plan‚i had muscle pull for 1 week‚i felt pains all over me to the extent i couldn’t move some parts of my body because of this

------------------------------------------------- Deltoid In human anatomy‚ the deltoid muscle is the muscle forming the rounded contour of the shoulder. Anatomically‚ it appears to be made up of three distinct sets of fibers though electromyography suggests that it consists of at least seven groups that can be independently coordinated by the central nervous system. * Origin: upper clavicle‚ scapula * Insertion: upper humerus ------------------------------------------------- Trapezius

A patient is admitted for electroconvulsive treatment (ECT). The physician orders the neuromuscular blocking agent metocurine iodide (metubine) to reduce trauma by relaxing skeletal muscles. Explain the process of muscle contraction and how a neuromuscular blocking agent‚ such as metubine‚ would interfere with muscle contraction. According to the Mayo Clinic website electroconvulsive treatment is the use of an electrical signal that sent through the brain to intentionally induce a brief seizure

INTRODUCTION Smooth muscle fibers in different organs are distinctly different from each other in their physical dimensions‚ organization into bundles or sheets‚ response to stimuli‚ characteristics of innovation‚ and function. Smooth muscle is responsible for the contractility of hollow organs‚ such as blood vessels‚ the gastrointestinal tract‚ the bladder and the uterus. Specifically in the uterus‚ regulation of smooth muscle contraction is under the influence of an octapeptide known
