INTRODUCTION An electronic muscle stimulator is a circuit designed to stimulate nerves of that part of the body by attaching electrodes. It is used to revive frozen muscle that impair movement‚ it aid in building up muscles and it also helps in removing cellulites in the body EMS causes adaption‚ i.e. training of muscles fibers and can be used as a therapeutic tool. In medicine it is used for rehabilitation purposes‚ for instance in Physical therapy in the prevention of disuse muscle atrophy which can

Muscle Contractions By: Evan Contractions‚ put simply‚ are the basic action of any muscle. A contraction is a change in a muscle by which it becomes thickened and shortened after the brain sends signals to nerve cells telling them do contract a specific muscle or muscles. Surprisingly‚ a contraction is a complex human action and reaction‚ yet it is such a breeze to understand the basic meaning of the word. Throughout this essay I will give you extensive details about the process of muscle contractions

1900’s Muscle Cars Introduction: How it all started from the beginning. The late 1900’s muscle cars and the great spike in 1900 muscle cars. I. Why are they so expensive? A. They have gone extinct B. They aren’t sold now in days C. There’s only a hand full of them left in the world II. How much would one cost to restore a 1900’s muscle car? A. Depends on how bad the car looks B. The model of the car C. If the parts of the car expensive to find III. Why do some late 1900’s muscle cars

forces generated in muscles through the application of the laws of motion from Newtonian mechanics. The movement is actively controlled by the motor commands generated in the central nervous system and sent to the musculoskeletal system through the descending tracts. These motor commands can be estimated with the electrical activities in the muscle tissue‚ which are recorded using electromyography (EMG) techniques. The activity of muscles as a function of time‚ also known as muscle activations provides

workload doubles. The muscles can hold a higher workload if they originally have a higher threshold of stimulation with no workload at all. 2. Why would a muscle’s threshold of stimulation change as its Workload changes? A muscle’s threshold of stimulation changes as its workload changes because the muscle needs more stimulation and more power to contract. 3. Which muscles were able to contract under the greatest loads? What does this suggest about the role these muscles play in frog movement

accidental fracture or other damage. Strengthen the core muscles in your back‚ abdomen and thighs‚ and do regular stretches to keep them flexible. Stand tall and sit up straight to keep your body in the correct alignment and to protect your skeleton from harm. Physical activity Bones may be different to muscles in appearance‚ but they respond to exercise and activity in a similar manner. Bones build up strength through exercise‚ just like muscles‚ and continued activity maintains bone strength and health

Muscle Fatigue By Jaclyn Mullick B.S. The onset of muscle fatigue has hindered many athletes from achieving their maximum performance. Over the years we have been taught that it is the build-up of lactic acid that is the downfall of muscle fatigue and soreness. This is only partially true; there is a little more to it than what we have been told. I hope that this article provides you with a possible short-term remedy and does not confuse you more but rather makes you more aware

In this lab‚ we are measuring the EMG amp (mV)‚ or electrical activity‚ from action potentials produced from muscle contractions in order to gain an indication of the number of active motor units used in the contraction. This is done by adding more load to the muscle or force. There is examining of the EMG amp produced from a twitch at varying levels of muscle force and EMG amp from muscles when more load is placed on them. During the experiment‚ we set up the equipment‚ electrodes and software

Reyes November 08‚ 2011 Dr. Dunaway Neuronal signaling in muscle contraction is triggered when an action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction. At this junction‚ acetylcholine (ACh) is the main neurotransmitter. Packaged in vesicles‚ ACh fuses with the neuron’s membrane and is released into the synaptic cleft. ACh diffuses toward the motor end plate and bind to the neurotransmitter receptor on it. The muscle fiber is then triggered to produce an action potential of its own that

April 2013 Muscle Growth DR. PAUL D. THOMPSON‚ a 60 year old marathon runner and chief of cardiology at Hartford Hospital‚ stood in front of a medical audience recently and began his talk with a story about himself. Hes had been lifting weights since he was 12 years old. Dr. Thompson is now a small and wiry with not a bulging muscle on him. He was speculated that he must have a genetic inability to build muscles‚ no matter how hard he works at it. But are his muscles healthy? Muscle researchers
