Muscle Fatigue Monira Begum How muscles work and get the energy they need to work. Muscles need energy to work and move. (1) Their main source of energy is glucose. Glucose is made of a number of different types of carbohydrates (usually sugar) as well as milk and fruits. Glucose turns into other chemicals such as water and carbon dioxide which releases energy. (2)Your muscles get warm when using or burning energy. Glucose is sent to muscles through red blood cells; this is how muscles get

Volleyball Serve Biomechanical factors influencing my Performance Contacting the ball at the top of arms reach If I did not contact the ball at the top of arms reach I would loose acceleration because the force is greater when the arm is at full reach. By contacting the ball at full arms reach you are creating a longer leaver and increasing the moment of inertia by increasing the force upon which you can accelerate the arm forward to serve the ball. If the ball contacted beyond the top of arms

up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues‚ that is‚ they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells‚ the gelatin the support material for matrix‚ and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances‚ we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight

Muscle In this experiment‚ you will explore how muscles work. You will also examine some of the properties of muscle fatigue. In this experiment‚ you will electrically stimulate the nerves in the forearm to demonstrate recruitment‚ summation‚ and tetanus. Written by staff of ADInstruments.

We have three types of muscles in our bodies‚ skeletal‚ smooth and cardiac. Each type of muscle performs different functions in our bodies. Some of the characteristics of our muscles are that they respond to stimuli‚ they are able to shorten in length‚ they stretch when they are pulled and they tend to return to their original shape after contracting or extending them. Muscle contractions occur when our nervous system sends a signal via the neuromuscular junctions the signal arrives at the end bulb

neurological condition‚ a developmental disorder. Increasingly‚ as the ability to image brain structure and trace brain function improves‚ it’s evident that autism results from physical differences in the structure and function of the brain. Although it used to be considered a psychiatric disorder with an "emotional" cause‚ it is instead a physical problem‚ in the same way that a missing limb or eye is a physical problem. The autistic child’s brain is not physically set up to process information the same
