Muscle contractions are the way that humans are able to move within the enviornment that surrounds them. To be able to understand the complexity of movement‚ there needs to be an understanding of the gross and micro-anatomy muscle contraction‚ and an understanding of the physiology of muscle contraction. This paper will provide an explaination of both the anatomy and physiology of muscle contraction. Anatomy of Muscle Contraction There are three types of muslces within the human body: skeletal

Physiology Assignment Name Class Date Every organism has specific characteristics that make it ideal for living in the certain environment that it resides. For example‚ owls are birds that have adapted to hunting at night. They have many adaptations that allow them to be successful night hunters. One adaptation that the owl has involves their eyesight. The eyes of owls are sunk in. This allows an owl to collect and intensify light making it better able

Factors Controlling Healthy Development Of Muscle And Bone. The food you eat affects every system and function in your body. A well-balanced diet ensures that your body has the raw materials to produce and maintain healthy‚ strong muscles and bones. On the other hand‚ poor dietary habits can produce deficiencies in vital nutrients‚ leading to poor bone and muscle development in children or the damaging of the body’s ability to maintain strong muscles and bones in adults. Protein It is a major

all members in a group‚ not only because people have different physical traits‚ but also different diet and living habits. There are three major body types: Ectomorph‚ endomorph and mesomorph. People who are described as Ectomorphs usually have lean muscle mass; they have small frames and do not gain weight easily‚ and therefore‚ have a slim appearance. Ectomorphs have long limbs‚ narrow hips and small shoulder width; their muscule strength is usually unable to afford heavy training‚ and therefore‚

Slow-Oxidative (Type I) Muscle Fibres Shelby Daye Skeletal muscles are classified as striated and voluntary. They are found in muscles that maintain low-intensity contractions for long periods without fatigue. A single skeletal muscle cell is referred to as a muscle fibre. There are three types of muscle fibres found in the human skeletal muscle system including slow-oxidative fibres‚ fast-oxidative fibres and fast-glycolytic fibres. These three fibres are each defined by their biochemical capacities1

Exercise physiology Touch football is a game derived from Rugby League that requires the opposition to tag or touch the opponent to stop their progress. This assignment is centred on exercise physiology in relation to touch football and my performance in the position of centre. Exercise physiology is the study of the function of the human body during various exercise conditions. Throughout a game of touch football our bodies rely on various energy systems to meet energy demands. Whilst addressing

you did not fix the sample to the slide with 95% ethyl alcohol? Since ethyl alcohol’s function is to fix the specimen to the slide‚ I would say the specimen would be washed away during the preparation of the slide if ethyl alcohol was not used. 8.

Muscles attached to scapula: Levator scapulae origin is transverse processes of C1-C4‚ insertion at superior angle of scapula‚ it moves scapula and flexes neck. Pectoralis minor’s origin is ribs 3-5 and insertion at coracoid process of scapula‚ it depresses scapula and elevates ribs. Rhomboids Major and Rhomboids Minor’s origin at spinous processes T1-T4‚ insertion at medial border of scapula‚ they move scapula. Serratus anterior’s origin is at ribs 1-9‚ insertion is at medial border of scapula
