    Biology coursework Hypothesis: I predict that the longer you are contracting the peg the slower you will become when doing so‚ this is because of muscle fatigue. And when taking two seconds between each contraction the speed will decrease at a much slower rate than if you are doing the contractions as fast as you can. The science backing up my hypothesis: The higher the intensity of any type of exercise the more lactic acid is produced in a certain amount of time‚ this is by a means of anaerobic

Thermoregulation‚ a homeostatic process‚ is responsible for initiating and controlling the physiological responses helping to keep Joel warm. His body temperature is being monitored by his hypothalamus which has triggered his sympathetic vasomotor center to initiate vasoconstriction of the dermal blood vessels in his extremities. The nervous system is also alerted by the hypothalamus to induce muscle contraction in order to generate internal

    The Muscular System: Muscle Metabolism 1. List the three roles of ATP in muscle contraction: 1.Energize the power stroke of the myosin cross bridge. 2.Disconnecting the myosin head from the binding site on actin at the conclusion of a power stroke. 3.Energizing the calcium ion pump 2. The potential energy in ATP is released when the terminal high-energy bond is broken by a process called Write the end products of this process: ATP (+ H2O)  ______ADP___________ 3. Rebuilding ADP into ATP with

    The arterioles in the skeletal muscles dilate‚ which increases blood flow to the muscles and leads to an overall drop in peripheral resistance. At the same time there is vasoconstriction in the vessels supplying blood to the abdominal organs and kidneys. This makes sense: if an individual was running from an attacking lion‚ digestion wouldn’t be a high priority while the muscles involved in escape would be. Another cardiovascular response to exercise is

    circuit training and types of S&C. Resistance training is a training method that uses a resistance to the force of muscular contraction (concentric i.e. shortening‚ eccentric i.e. stretching and isometric i.e. no change in length). Stretch shortening cycle- when a muscle is stretched before its contracted is produces a more powerful contraction e.g. CMJ Slow-twitch muscle fibres are fatigue resistant but don’t contract very forcefully or rapidy. Uses oxygen. Fast twitch fibres contract rapidly
