“Electromyography in the Abductor Pollicis Brevis‚ Bicep‚ and Tricep Muscles of a Human”. July 6‚ 2015. PCB 3713L- General Physiology Lab‚ Section #001 Introduction Skeletal muscles are responsible for most of the locomotion seen in humans and animals. Electromyography can be used to measure the electrical activity emitted from the muscle and nerves that control the muscle. This electrical activity is seen when a neuron ignites an action potential that activates the muscle fibers that were innervated

grouped into two categories‚ Duchenne smiles named after Guillaume Duchenne‚ a 19th century French doctor who analyzed facial expressions‚ and “Pan Am smiles”‚ named after the decommissioned airline’s gesture of welcome (John Harlow‚ The Smile That Says Where You’re from).

It is defined as a lateral‚ or a side-to-side deviation from the normal frontal axis of the body. Scoliosis is similar to Lordosis‚ which also been named the swayback‚ for example when the spine of a person with lordosis curves significantly inward at the lower back.

mentioned previously that some researchers- the psychologist Paul Ekman is the best known- have studied whether facial expression reveal true emotions. These researchers have distinguished real smiles (so called Duchenne smiles‚ named after French physician Guillaume Duchenne) from fake smiles. Duchenne found genuine smile raised not only the corners of the mouth (easily faked) but also cheek and eye muscles (much more difficult to fake). So‚ one way to determine whether someone is genuinely happy or amused
