Introduction This study approaches the understanding of the autosomal recessive “mini-muscle” phenotype in mice. Smaller body size and muscles as well as increased maximal oxygen intake are observed in mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype. This observation raises an issue about why the selectively bred mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype have reduced triceps and thigh muscle mass as they are able to cover greater distances; due to faster running speed‚ on an activity wheel compared to normal mice

~Cross-section of a bone~ Articular cartilage - is a white‚ smooth tissue which covers the ends of bones in joints. Periosteum - is a fibrous sheath that covers bones. It contains the blood vessels and nerves that provide nourishment and sensation to the bone. Cortical bone - forms the outer shell of all bone and also the shafts in long bones. Trabecular bone - is the tissue that makes up the interior of bones.

Long Answer Question 2 3) Calcium in the diet of a teenager is actively absorbed in the small intestine and transferred into the intestinal capillaries. Describe the route this calcium would follow to end up in the upper arm. Describe in detail the role of calcium at the neuromuscular junction as well as its role in the mechanism of muscle contraction and relaxation of the triceps. Considering the function of calcium in bone growth‚ explain in detail how the humerus would grow in length. Calcium

What are the different ways‚ physiological and pharmacological‚ in which blood vessel diameter can be modified? Detection of changes in blood pressure (leading to resultant changes in blood vessel diameter): Baroreceptors at the carotid sinus (the bifurcation of internal and external carotid arteries in the neck) and the aortic arch detect changes in blood pressure. These non-encapsulated nerve endings‚ located in the adventitial layer of arteries‚ are technically mechanoreceptors; they respond

Erythrocytes Survive 120 Days Hemoglobin * Globin: 4 folded polypeptide chains * Heme: Iron group in each polypeptide that binds 02 Enzymes: * Glycolytic: generate energy through glycolysis due to lack of mitochondria * Carbonic anhydrase: for transport of CO2 into HCO3 Erythropoiesis: * regeneration of new cells in the bone marrow Erythropoietin (hormone): * when kidneys detect not enough 02 they secrete this hormone which stimulates erythropoiesis‚ increasing 02 capacity

Mysoin V can walk a lot faster than Myosin 2. Saccharomyces Cerevesiae is a type of yeast. Myosin V interacts with one end of the nucleus‚ and another binds to the other side to orient the nucleus. Slide 3: The entire cytoplasm moves in one side: “streaming”‚ what happens is that very close to the membrane‚ the chloroplast are not moving and close to it are the actin filaments that are not moving. Then everything else is on the Myosin V which is moving since Myosin V moves around. Evidence: we have
