There are three types of muscle skeletal which are voluntary‚ smooth muscle which are involuntary and cardiac muscle. Muscle is made up of protein filaments‚ myosin and actin. These filaments slide past each other to produce a contraction which changes both the length and shape of the cell. The primary function of the muscle is to produce both movement and force. Skeletal muscle is composed of bundles of muscle fibres containing myofibrils of thick and thin filaments (myosin and actin). Skeletal

Introduction:Spirometry is the classic pulmonary function test‚ which measures the volume of air inspired or expired as a function of time. It can monitor quiet breathing and thereby measure tidal volume‚ and also trace deep inspirations and expirations to give information about vital capacity. Spirometrymay also be used to measure forced expiration rates and volumes and to compute FEV1/FVC ratios. Spirometry provides an objective measurement of lung function. It will measure the Expiratory Vital

Christopher Couchell Muscle Physiology Purpose: The Purpose of this exercise is to understand how muscle twitch‚ contract and react to different activities. Exercise 1: Muscle Twitch A. What is a muscle twitch? A muscle twitch is the fasciculation ‚ or "muscle twitch"‚ is a small‚ local‚ involuntary muscle contraction and relaxation visible under the skin. B. According to the graphs‚ which muscle has the fastest twitch? Why? The lateral rectus eye muscle has the fastest twitch.
