INTRODUCTION Give a brief description in your own words of the objectives and aims of this practical. The aim of this practical was to understand how the autonomic nervous system has an effect In the ileum. Through this‚ we can delve deeper by understanding how nerves‚ through the actions Of various neurotransmitters affect the motility of the gastrointesital tract. Furthermore‚ we can investigate The effects of drugs‚ and their uses in replicating effects of autonomic neurotransmitters

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

ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM The digestive system is basically a tube running through the body from the mouth to the anus. The organs of the digestive system include the oral cavity (mouth)‚ esophagus‚ stomach‚ small and large intestine and rectum. Their role is to break down food and deliver the products to the blood for dispersal to the body cells. The undigested food that remains in the tract leaves the body through the anus as feces. The break down activities that

What is Exercise Physiology? Exercise physiology is a scientific discipline that focuses on how an organism responds to exercise. Exercise represents one of the greatest stresses that an organism can encounter. Therefore exercise represents an outstanding model for studying human and animal physiology. Most people are familiar with the study of exercise physiology as it relates to sport performance. However‚ in the last several decades it has become apparent that the study of exercise

WEEK 1: AN INTRODUCTION TO HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY 1. Anatomy is the study of the structure and shape of body and parts‚ while physiology is the study of how the body work and function‚ their relationship is seen for example in the heart‚ there are two valves (anatomy) and these two valves help the heart pump blood. 2. The atom is the smallest particle of an element. An example is carbon ( C ) which is the building block of life. A group of atoms could form for example‚ a water molecule

Determining the Latent Period 1. Click Clear Tracings to erase the oscilloscope display. The voltage should be set to 5.0 volts. 2. Drag the 200 msec button to the right edge of the oscilloscope. 3. Click the Stimulate button once‚ and allow the tracing to complete. 4. When you measure the length of the latent period from a printed graph‚ you measure the time between the application of the stimulus and the beginning of the first observable response(increase in force). The computer can’t “look ahead
