The length-tension relationships represent an important part in the function of skeletal muscle. When skeletal muscle is stimulated‚ passive tissue rapidly changes into dynamic tissue which can produce force. Furthermore‚ during this process‚ the length of muscle may decrease‚ increase‚ or remain the same. Moreover‚ the amount of power a muscle can produce depends on its length‚ velocity and stimulation Powers & Howley (2015). Muscle velocity and stimulation are normally in a constant when creating

CHAPTER 3: THE MUSCULAR SYSTEM Three Types of Muscle * Muscle tissue is a collection of cells that shorten during contraction which create tension that results in movement * Tendons are touch bands of connective tissue that join muscle with bones Skeletal muscles * Muscles that are attached to bone (by tendons and other tissue) * Comprise 30 to 40% of human body weight * Humans have conscious control (conscious muscle) over these muscles (the brain can tell them what to do)

muscle contraction Introduction For a skeletal muscle fiber to contract‚ a stimulus must be applied to it. The stimulus is delivered by a nerve cell‚ or neuron. A neuron has a threadlike process called and axon that my run 91 cm or more to a muscle. A bundle of such fibers from man different neurons composes a nerve. A neuron that stimulates muscle tissue is called a motor neuron. The motor neuron branches into terminal structures called telodendria that come into close approximation with

About 300 soft bones. they turn into 206 adult solid bones- If we can have a strong core – and deep abdominal muscle called “tranferus abdomenus”- wraps around your core- because it wraps around when it tightens ‚ it tightens up around the spine and gives it a lot of stability- the spine ( a whole lot of bones sitting on top of each other) we don’t want

The Aging Musculoskeletal System The human musculoskeletal system is the organ system that gives humans the ability to physically move‚ by using the muscles and skeletal system. It consists of the muscular system and the human skeleton. Bones are connected to each other at the joints by ligaments or cartilage and skeletal muscle is attached to bones‚ usually by tendons. Bones mass or density is lost as people age‚ especially in women after menopause. The bone loses calcium and other minerals. Bone

Overview Ocular rosacea is a condition in which inflammation causes burning‚ itching‚ and redness in the eyes. As implied by the name‚ it is often seen in patients who already have rosacea on the face‚ but it may also be the first indication that the condition will develop later in life. Ocular rosacea usually affects middle-aged adults‚ many of whom tend to flush or blush more easily than most people. It can ultimately lead to various problems with vision and‚ in the worst cases‚ vision loss.

Scoliosis :Homeostatic Imbalance The spine is composed of bones called the vertebrae. The vertebrae purpose is to work with fibers to sort the spinal cord. The vertebrae are classified by main regions called the cervical‚ thoracic‚ lumbar‚ sacrum and coccyx. When there is an unusual disease affecting the spine by making an arch it is called scoliosis. Scoliosis is mainly now for its shaped S or C in the spinal column. Its twist and rotation‚have cause deformation in different parts of the section
