    INTRODUCTION I am going to explain the voluntary muscle the different types of muscle fibre including slow twitch fast twitch‚including how their properties are influenced by their reliance on aerobic and anaerobic energy sources. Skeletal muscle is made up of bundles of individual muscle fibres called myocytes. Each myocyte contains many myofibrils‚ which are strands of proteins (actin and myosin) that can grab on to each other and pull. This shortens the muscle and causes muscle contraction

    The objective of the experiment was to differentiate mammalian C2C12 cells into muscle cells and analyze for presence of myosin light chain. Utilizing Western Blotting techniques and using specific antibodies helped to detect myosin light chain. The hypothesis was that proliferating myoblasts could be induced to initiate the differentiation process by depriving the cells of the necessary growth factors and that the differentiation is characterized by the expression of muscle-specific proteins. The

    1.) What muscle did the winging of the scapula suggest to be paralysed? Why does this sign occur? The muscle that was suggested to be paralysed due to the winging of the scapula is the Serratus Anterior muscle. The Serratus Anterior muscle’s origin is situated on the external surface of the lateral surfaces of the upper 8 to 9 ribs (ribs 1 to 8) while the insertion of this muscle is located on the costal surface of the medial border of the scapula. Therefore‚ this muscle is innervated by the long
