In his seminal work Stigma‚ Goffman (1963) analyzes the identity of individuals‚ or rather‚ the behaviour thereof‚ in order to distinguish between what he calls the “virtual” and “actual” social identity. Virtual social identity refers to the version of selfhood that individuals are expected to present in public‚ one legitimized by its social acceptance. The latter on the other hand‚ refers to the self identity individuals imagine themselves to posses in private. To illustrate the difference between

Muscles of mastication are known to be the most crucial muscles in the head aside from the muscles that are required to show facial expressions. The four muscles of mastication include: • Masseter muscle • Temporalis muscle • Medial pterygoid muscle • Lateral pterygoid muscle Each of which has a

Muscle contractions are the way that humans are able to move within the enviornment that surrounds them. To be able to understand the complexity of movement‚ there needs to be an understanding of the gross and micro-anatomy muscle contraction‚ and an understanding of the physiology of muscle contraction. This paper will provide an explaination of both the anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction. Anatomy of Muscle Contraction There are three types of muslces within the human body: skeletal

exercise. Although stretching doesn’t reduce bodily fat nor does it gain muscle; it does set a good foundation for you to perform the necessary activities that lead to good health. With proper flexibility‚ many functions that were previously not achievable can now be done. For instance‚ a tennis game can be fun for a little while. But as your muscle tense up‚ you risk probable sourness and cramping. With good flexibility‚ your muscles stay loose and relaxed and your attitude toward the tennis game and

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

The pelvic floor consists of layers of muscles “stretching like a hammock from the pubic bone in the front‚ to the base of the spine” (O’Connell‚ Bennett & Jarvis‚ 2004). There are three openings that pass through the pelvic floor; the urethra from the bladder‚ the vagina from the uterus and the anus from the bowel (The Royal Women’s Hospital Fact Sheet‚ 2010). The pelvic floor muscles work to support the bladder‚ uterus and bowel (Hendy‚ 2006; The Royal Women’s

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
