Gluteals are the group of muscles comprising of your buttocks. Out the four muscles in your buttocks‚ there are only 3 groups of muscle that can be found on your buttocks. These muscles are gluteus maximus‚ medius and minimus. The fourth group which is the smallest one is the tenor fasciae latae muscles that can be found in the anterior area of the body. Functioning together‚ the gluteal muscles handle most of the motions of the upper leg‚ which includes rotation of the thigh‚ and abduction and turning

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 muscle have distinct

Muscle fatigue occurs when a muscle has a diminished ability to continue to produce force‚ usually occurring due to extensive use of those muscles‚ such as when performing extraneous activity. On a molecular level‚ there are a number of things that happen that prevent the muscle from performing more action‚ ultimately to prevent any damage from being afflicted on the muscles cells. One particular effect that most people are likely familiar

Homeostasis is a point of balance or internal equilibrium. All kinds of systems — both living and non-living — can work to keep themselves in this state of balance‚ but the word "homeostasis" is most often used in biology‚ particularly to describe how the human body reacts to changes and keeps itself within certain parameters to ensure that it can function correctly. These reactions include a range of responses‚ from the release of hormones to regulate internal imbalances to sweating to lower body

Nutrition A Muscle Contraction Muscle Contraction is part of an organ in the body that is tensive. It may have a process of tensions that may be developed with muscle tissues. Contraction can be a meaning of shortening or long. Muscle Contraction can also produce a muscle cell that is for movement of the body. Myosin and Actin is an interaction protein to Muscle Contraction‚ it can be changed by shape but not by volume. Skeletal Muscle contraction is produce by heat. The muscles may receive signal

Factors Controlling Healthy Development Of Muscle And Bone. The food you eat affects every system and function in your body. A well-balanced diet ensures that your body has the raw materials to produce and maintain healthy‚ strong muscles and bones. On the other hand‚ poor dietary habits can produce deficiencies in vital nutrients‚ leading to poor bone and muscle development in children or the damaging of the body’s ability to maintain strong muscles and bones in adults. Protein It is a major

Skeletal muscle moves because we want it to. It is controlled voluntarily (consciously). There is 2 types of contraction Isometric: As the muscle contracts‚ it remains the same length whilst the tension increases in an attempt to overcome the opposing force. Example: Holding a glass of water still in front of you. Isotonic: As the muscle contracts its length changes whilst the tension remains constant or develops to overcome the opposing force. Example: Lifting a glass of water to your mount and

Skeletal muscle is associated with the bony skeleton and consists of large cells that bear striations and are under voluntary control. 2. Cardiac muscle occurs only in the heart and consists of small cells that are striated and under involuntary control. 3. Smooth muscle is found in the walls of hollow organs and

Background Information Muscles in the human body can be classified into three different types- cardiac‚ smooth and skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscles are the muscles that can be controlled voluntarily‚ in things such walking and picking things up. The skeletal muscles are made up of bundles of muscle fibres (which are also known as myofibrils‚ as can be seen below). Each of the muscle fibres contain many sarcomeres‚ which is the most basic form of striated muscle tissue- they consist of two

During a Muscle Contraction The muscle fiber is in a resting state. The resting state is slightly negative inside and slightly positive outside. It has to be in this state in order to receive a message. First the brain sends a message to the muscle using a neuron then reaches the axon terminal of the neuron. Calcium gates then open on the axon terminal allowing calcium to rush in. Ach release from axon terminals‚ diffuses across the synaptic clef and binds to (receptors) on motor end plate. Then
