The action of ANS-related drugs on smooth muscle Introduction In the following experiment‚ the key objective is to compare the mechanical changes in tonic force by longitudinal smooth muscle after the addition of different concentrations of the drugs noradrenaline and acetylcholine. Peristalsis is the wave of muscle contractions that allow circular muscles to constrict the gut and longitudinal muscles to shorten it in an attempt to move the food bolus towards the rectum.

extension is the movement of straightening the leg at the knee joint. The major muscle involved in knee extension is the Quadriceps femoris‚ which is a group of four muscles. These four separate muscles of the Quadriceps femoris are the Vastus lateralis‚ Vastus medialis‚ Vastus intermedius‚ and Rectus femoris. These muscles‚ along with synergists‚ work together to perform knee extension for a vertical jump. Each of the muscles of the Quadriceps femoris have different origins‚ however they all share a

how muscles contract‚ this is shown by the 5 stages of the sliding filament theory. When the muscle contracts‚ the myosin filaments attach themselves to similar actin filaments‚ this attachment causes formation in chemical bonds this then forms the cross bridges. Myosin and actin molecules are made in a series‚ this series is what makes up a muscle cell. This basic module is called the sarcomere‚ these are what gives the tissue of a skeletal muscle its appearance. The mechanism within muscle contraction

factors that would cause the lung to collapse are elastic recoil and high surface tension. And the factors that prevent the lungs from collapse are negative intrapulmonary pressure and surfactant. During expiration : volume increase and pressure decrease During inspiration : volume decrease and pressure increase The role of surfactant is to decrease surface tension by more than 40 times. And it’s effect on surface tension is to prevent them from PO2 in alveolar : 104 PO2 in venous blood : 40

the 70 ’s known as Muscle Dysmorphia (Mosley‚ 2009). It is defined as a continue obsession with muscularity (Olivardia‚ 2001).

Skeletal System The human skeletal system performs a number of key functions in the human body. The key functions of the human skeletal system are: Support: Our bones provide the rigidity we need to function. Protection: The rigidity of our bones allows them to protect our internal organs from damage for example the rib cage and the skull. Movement: Without the strength of our bones we wouldn’t be able to move our muscles are anchored to our bones. Storage: Our bones are a storehouse for fat
