201: Human Anatomy and Physiology I Muscle Physiology Protocol I. Goals for this lab A. To increase your understanding of muscle physiology - tonus‚ motor unit recruitment and fatigue. B. Learn how to conduct and analyze an EMG (electromyogram) C. To gain more experience with the scientific method‚ experimental design‚ making predictions‚ critical analysis of results‚ and interpretation of your results. II. Introduction Human skeletal muscle consists of hundreds of individual cylindrically

coarsely controlled muscles. Explain how motor units act to establish muscle tone. What are the functions of muscle tone? Motor Unit- One motor neuron and all the muscles it innervates. Each muscle will respond to one motor nerve which contains axons that can have up to 100’s of neurons that branch into terminals that form NMJ with ONE fiber. When a motor neuron sends an action potential‚ it will cause all of the connected muscle fibers to contract. The number of muscle fibers per motor unit

Function of the Skin The skin is more than just external covering. It acts as a sensitive boundary between our bodies and the environment. The skin has several important functions‚ for example: Protection‚ temperature regulations‚ waste removal and sense of touch. Protection • The skin acts as a protective organ. The film of sebum and sweat on the surface of the skin (acid mantle). It acts as an anti-bacterial agent to help prevent the multiplication of micro-organisms on the skin. • The fat

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)

Preventing Muscle Cramps Caused By Dehydration John Doe GEN/200 April 18‚ 2011 John Deere Preventing Muscle Cramps Caused By Dehydration Muscles cramps and spasms can be annoying. If the body is not taking in enough daily fluids it can cause major health issues in a short amount of time. Fluids as well as other contributing factors such as age‚ has a large influence on muscles. People can often suffer from muscle weakness and cramping from dehydration. Exercising can also reduce

The instantaneous speed of walking is a function of the kinematics of limbs which in turn are determined by the forces generated in muscles through the application of the laws of motion from Newtonian mechanics. The movement is actively controlled by the motor commands generated in the central nervous system and sent to the musculoskeletal system through the descending tracts. These motor commands can be estimated with the electrical activities in the muscle tissue‚ which are recorded using electromyography
