Muscles are a Band or bundles of tissue in either the human body ‚ or animal body that allow contraction for movement. There are many muscles in the body. It is stated that there are over 650 muscles in the body ‚ and is said that there are possibilities of up to 840. Your whole body is a muscle. You have Muscles in your head‚ arms‚ legs‚ just about anywhere you can think of and as we progress in life and become of age our muscles may grow and get stronger ‚ or may deteriorate.

Endomysium- covers the individual muscle fibers Sarcomere- smallest contractile element of muscle fiber‚ extends from z-line to z-line Myofilament- responsible for contraction Striated- the color variations on the muscle fiber. Has to do with the amount of protein and the way it reflects light.

Building muscles may be the purpose of many people and for doing so‚ they usually start with an intense weight training. What most of them don’t know‚ is that for building muscles‚ the balance is only 20% weight training and 80% a proper diet. Therefore‚ for those who are interested in building muscles‚ these article will provide information on how they have to introduce in their daily routine a strict diet that includes proteins‚ carbohydrates‚ or healthy fats.

True Love? When Frogs mate‚ the male frog tends to clasp the female underneath in an embrace called amplexus. He literally climbs on her back‚ reaches his arms around her "waist"‚ either just in front of the hind legs‚ just behind the front legs‚ or even around the head. Amplexus can last several days! Usually‚ it occurs in the water‚ though some species‚ like the bufos on the right mate on land or even in trees! (photo courtesy of Emile Vandecasteele) While in some cases‚ complicated courting

Physiology Assignment After searching for a couple of days and still being unsure of what I was going to write about I turned and was watching my fish in my fish tank and realized that was what I would do it on. Then I realized that I spend many hour throughout the week watching my fish swim around‚ it is almost therapeutic. I found that the anatomy and physiology of a fish is very unique so that they can exist in the different underwater environments. In this paper we will cover their circulatory

Why Frogs Jump. Once upon a time‚ there was a frog. This frog was named Matthias. He had four legs that were used for getting around. Matthias was green‚ he walked on all four of his feet. He lived in a pond‚ in the enchanted Rainforest in Africa. He lived with his grandparents. Matthias has no siblings and no parents. They got attacked by the evil snakes. The frog population was at risk‚ due to the frequent snake attacks. So‚ Matthias started to build forts‚ for his‚ his grandparents‚ and his

Before the motor neuron cone arrives the muscle fiber‚ AChR clusters are formed in the middle section of a muscle fiber. When the growing nerve cone attaches the muscle fiber‚ Agrin activates Lrp4‚ which then binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK‚ through this binding MuSK is phosphorylated and starts to form the neural and aneural AChR clustering (Burden 2011). Morphologic differences in the pre- and/or postsynaptic part of the NMJ can be a hint of a certain disease. In the following figure
