There are many different muscles groups that are used during exercise. Some of the main muscle groups are hamstrings‚ quads‚ glutes‚ and pectoral muscles. There are different muscle within each muscle group. In the hamstring muscles‚ there are three main muscles: semitendinosus‚ semimembranosus‚ and biceps femoris. In the quad muscles there are four main muscles: rectus femoris‚ vastus lateralis‚ vastus intermedius‚ and vastus medialis. There are three main muscles in the glutes: gluteus maximus

Comparing the Cardiac muscle and the Skeletal muscle Differences Similarities Skeletal muscle is usually linked to bones by structures called tendons. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. They are both important parts to the body. Skeletal muscle cells are usually arranged into cylindrical fibres with multiple nuclei and can be directly controlled by voluntary nerve signals from the nervous system. Cardiac muscle cells are normally shorter and are linked via gap junctions which allow compounds

Any athlete has surely experienced a muscle cramp before and can tell you the indescribable pain they emit. The main question is what is a muscle cramp and how is it caused. Someone who frequently undergoes muscle cramps may also wonder ‘how do I prevent these?’ Muscle cramps can be a nuisance and may stope athletes or everyday people from doing what they like. When a muscle or group of muscles involuntarily contracts this is called a muscle cramp. A muscle contracting causes it to get smaller

The muscle was consistently moistened by Ringer’s solution throughout the entire experiment. The Achilles tendon was removed at the heel of the frog. The tibiofibular bone was cut below the knee and the femur below the knee (Frog Skeletal Muscle Experiement). The baseline value of the force transducer was set to zero. This zeroing

HOW MUSCLES GET THE ENERGY THEY NEED TO WORK 1) Muscle needs energy to contract and as stated previously the ‘universal energy currency’ of living systems is ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is largely produced within mitochondria‚ organelles which are often referred to as the ‘powerhouse’ of the cell. The ATP that results is used to provide the power for the muscle fibres to contract. Contraction itself (i.e. actual shortening movement) occurs when a bond is broken between ATP and one of its
