    is vital to produce muscle contractions. And energy is produced from foods consumed but mainly carbohydrates and fats. * Carbohydrates – carbohydrates are broken down by the body into glucose‚ a simple sugar. If the body does not require it immediately it is stored in the liver and muscles. * Fats – broken into fatty acids When our body burns these substances it produces ATP and once the chemical bond in the ATP is broken it produces energy for muscular contractions. Only ATP can provide

    dry mouth‚ and muscle weakness clearly illustrate a correlation between botulism and the muscular system. Synaptic transmission at a motor end plate normally begins when a nerve impulse reaches a synaptic terminal. Synaptic vesicles then travel towards and combine into the presynaptic cell membrane of the motor neuron. This stimulates the release of acetylcholine‚ which diffuses across the synaptic cleft and binds to receptors on the postsynaptic cell membrane of a muscle fiber. When a botulin

    decline in muscle function contribute to eye strain and blurred vision? When light is refracted into the eye through the lens it hits a point called the fovea centralis‚ which focuses the light with the use of cones and sends a message to the brain. When the cilliary body doesn’t help the lens to focus and achieve the message signal to the brain‚ we get double vision. 4. What are the possible reasons for Annie’s condition? lack of oxygen in the bloodstream which would cause muscle crams and

    skeletal muscle instead. When we are exercising there is more blood in our arterial circulation. Where did this blood come from and how did it get there ? When the cells within the body are more metabolically active‚ they use more fuel‚ such as glucose and oxygen. Therefore during exercise‚ specifically in parts like the skeletal muscles‚ the blood flow through the tissues is dramatically increased during contraction‚ resulting in blood flow up to 15 to 20 times greater then resting muscles. This

    Skeletal muscle fibres can change from high activity‚ in which a high amount of ATP is used to a low level of activity‚ with only a small amount being used. The ATP in the muscle fibres is enough to allow muscle contractions for a few seconds. When muscle contraction continues more ATP is needed. Aerobic glycolysis Oxidation of glucose requires a different enzyme and a coenzyme for each step. Coenzyme A is used at this stage in cellular respiration‚ which is derived from from a B vitamin called
