I lay still sprawled on my back on the carpet floor‚ barely breathing or moving. NO! I wasn’t trying to commit suicide by asphyxiating. In the middle of my abdomen was a spasm that had contracted so much that the pain was almost unbearable. It was a good agonizing seven minutes before it finally subsided‚ leaving my abdominal muscles sore as never before. Outside the mercury rose in the sweltering Vietnamese heat as midday approached. I was in Vietnam participating in a Junior Ranking Tennis event

Lab 4: Skeletal Muscle Function Exercise 5: The Length-Tension Relationship Materials and Methods In this experiment I used a frog anesthetized with ms222. The frog’s skin is cut and removed from both the legs‚ the Achilles tendon is cut and the tendon and calf muscle are removed from the lower legs. The femur muscle is also cut. Attached to the legs are femur clamps which are connected to the transducer arm‚ stimulation electrodes are then positioned against the muscle. I plugged the output

HOW TO GAIN MUSCLES. Introduction. The assignment topic touches on a very important part of the human body a muscle. This is a soft tissue found on most animals and is made of cells that contain protein filaments of actin and myosin that slide past one another‚ producing a contraction that changes both the length and the shape of the cell. It function to produce force there location on the body or according to the functions and roles they play. They are the cardiac muscles (muscles covering the

Increasing the stimulus amplitude will increase the contraction force. Due to two conditions being satisfied: (1) the strength of the contraction force is changed through varying the number of muscle cells utilized for the contraction and/or varying the frequency of the stimulus‚ and (2) there is a distribution of the stimulus amplitude necessary to cause an action potential in the muscle cells‚ increasing the stimulus amplitude makes it likely that a potentially larger number of muscle cells will

The Effects of Creatine Creatine has been used in sports throughout time. Athletes have always had a fascination with being excellent at what they do. With the banning of steroids from competitive sports and the implementation of random drug testing in most sports‚ most athletes are still somehow hoping to gain an edge on their competition. This edge that they are using is creatine. In order to understand how creatine works‚ we must discover what creatine is. Creatine is an energy producing

It may have a process of tensions that may be developed with muscle tissues. Contraction can be a meaning of shortening or long. Muscle Contraction can also produce a muscle cell that is for movement of the body. Myosin and Actin is an interaction protein to Muscle Contraction‚ it can be changed by shape but not by volume.
