Muscles are responsible for all conscious and unconscious movement. It is how we move and react to an environment. There are three types of muscles in the body include the skeletal muscle‚ smooth muscle‚ and the cardiac muscle. Whether you are running‚ walking‚ breathing‚ eating‚ sleeping‚ or typing it all involves some sort of muscle action. Muscle cells that shape‚ form‚ and outline the whole human skeleton is called a muscle fibers. There are two types of muscle fibers: Type I (slow-twitching

Animals have three types of muscles; skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. This lab however is only concerned with skeletal muscle. A special characteristic of skeletal muscle is their ability to contract or shorten via thin (actin) and thick (myosin) filaments (Flanagan‚2017). This gives a striated appearance which is a key distinguishing characteristic between other types of muscle (Flanagan‚2017). Skeletal muscle is also multinucleated. Skeletal muscle needs plentiful amounts of energy to be able to

Your best friend Sophie is a competitive gymnast and trains at least three hours a day‚ six days a week‚ for as long as you can remember. She does great in school and gets straight A’s on her report cards. You usually tell each other everything‚ but lately she is always moody‚ irritable and hard to talk to. Her competitive gymnastics training has led her to attempt eating healthy but she has always been a picky eater and never liked vegetables‚ and refused to eat butter or ice cream. Recently

1. Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fiber type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fiber-type distribution? Skeletal muscles contain multiple fiber types that are distinguished by their different myosin ATPase speed‚ and the development of their SR. The two main fiber types are type I and type II fibers. Type II fibers have a faster ATPase and a more developed SR than type I fibers. Type II fibers are also part of a larger motor unit‚

AGONIST- Prime mover‚ the muscle responsible for producing a particular joint movement. It is responsible for the movement you see. EX- Pectoralis Major in bench press. ANTAGONIST- Opposing muscle to the prime mover that passively elongates or shortens to permit motion to occur. EX- Hamstring in leg extension SYNERGIST- Any muscle assisting the prime mover. EX- Deltoids assist the pectoralis major in bench press MEDIAL- Closer to the midline. LATERAL- Further from the midline.

Sample Physiology MCQs 1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action

Question: A patient is admitted for electroconvulsive treatment (ECT). The physician orders the neuromuscular blocking agent metocurine iodide (metubine) to reduce trauma by relaxing skeletal muscles. Explain the process of muscle contraction and how a neuromuscular blocking agent‚ such as metubine‚ would interfere with muscle contraction. Aaron arrived at the hospital with the following symptoms: drooping eyelids; fatigue and weakness of his muscles; and difficulty talking‚ breathing and swallowing

The Back squat is a predominantly lower-body exercise used extensively in strength and conditioning as a tool to quantify lower-body strength and as a training exercise‚ it’s also one of the three exercises evaluated in the sport of powerlifting. Due to the competitive nature of powerlifting and the many federations that govern it‚ supportive equiptment is widely used to differing degrees between federations. Knee wraps are likely one of the most frequently utilised products of supportive equipment
