    protein that plays a role in supplying oxygen to mitochondria during exercise. They demonstrated that the myoglobin concentration in skeletal muscles is directly related to testosterone. Therefore‚ an increase in testosterone will allow for more muscular potential. In addition‚ Rogozkin (1979) conducted a similar investigation to identify the effects of anabolic steroids on protein synthesis in skeletal muscles. He discovered that they increase the number of fast-twitch muscle fibers and enhance

    building blocks of the muscle and what allow muscles to contract. They appear as long cylinder cells that contain several nuclei. Contraction happens when the muscle receive signals from the nervous system and the Neuromuscular Junction obtains the muscular exchange where the synaptic bulb and the muscle fibers connect. muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils‚ which contain contractile units called sarcomeres. Sarcomeres run alongside each other down the length of the myofibril. each sarcomere has

    contractile protein filament‚ with protusions known as Myosin Heads. Tropomyosin: An actin-binding protein which regulates muscle contraction. Troponin: A complex of three proteins‚ attached to Tropomyosin. Stage 1  Nervous impulse arrives at neuro-muscular junction – acetylcholine is released. This causes calcium to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The calcium binds to troponin‚ changing its shape and so moving tropomyosin. This exposes the active binding site of the Actin.  The Myosin

    2011 Types of Tissue A tissue is a group of cells that have a similar shape and function. Different type of tissues can be found in different organs. In humans‚ there re four basic types of tissue: epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscular tissue‚ and nervous tissue. There may be various sub-tissues within each of the primary tissues. Epithelial tissue covers the body surface and forms the lining for most internal cavities. The major function of epithelial tissue includes protection

    90% of the one repetition maximum for 2–6 repetitions (reps) causes myofibrillated hypertrophy to dominate (as in powerlifters‚ olympic lifters and strength athletes)‚ while several repetitions (generally 8 – 12 for bodybuilding or 12 or more for muscular endurance) against a sub-maximal load facilitates mainly sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (professional bodybuilders and endurance athletes).[citation needed] The first measurable effect is an increase in the neural drive stimulating muscle contraction.
