ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The pelvis is a large semicircular bone complex that forms the base on which the torso and upper body are positioned. The pelvis‚ which is a rigid and inflexible portion of the skeleton‚ is built to provide a foundation of the movement of other parts of the anatomy‚ particularly the back and the legs. The pelvis also permits the weight of the entire upper body to be evenly distributed

Anatomy and Physiology of Respiratory System Overview Cells in the body require oxygen to survive. Vital functions of the body are carried out as the body is continuously supplied with oxygen. Without the respiratory system exchange of gases in the alveoli will not be made possible and systemic distribution of oxygen will not be made possible. Thetransportation of oxygen in the different parts of the body is accomplished by the blood of the cardiovascular system. However‚ it is the respiratory

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

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

of the bullfrog that was removed at the hip joint through careful dissection of the muscle away from the tibo-fibula bone while leaving the it attached to the knee and heel. 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

muscle contraction Introduction For a skeletal muscle fiber to contract‚ a stimulus must be applied to it. The stimulus is delivered by a nerve cell‚ or neuron. A neuron has a threadlike process called and axon that my run 91 cm or more to a muscle. A bundle of such fibers from man different neurons composes a nerve. A neuron that stimulates muscle tissue is called a motor neuron. The motor neuron branches into terminal structures called telodendria that come into close approximation with

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE HEART Anatomy: The heart and heart wall layers: The heart is located in the left side of the mediastinum; it consists of three muscle layers the Endocardium‚ myocardium‚ and epicardium. The epicardium is the outermost layer of the heart. The myocardium is the idle layer of and actual contracting muscle of the heart. The endocardium is the innermost layer and lines the inner chambers and heart valves. Pericardial sac: The pericardial sac encases and protects

The White Man’s Muscles In today’s society‚ the naked white male body is found everywhere. It can be seen in print ads‚ including clothing catalogues‚ TV commercials‚ and especially in movies‚ yet the prevalence of the naked white male body is something that has only been embraced since the 1980s. Prior to the 1980s‚ half naked white males were hardly ever seen in popular film because of the negative effects it would have on male self-esteem and masculinity. People in our generation
