The muscular system has three types of muscle: skeletal‚ smooth‚ and cardiac. However‚ the main focus will be on the skeletal muscles and how they contract‚ as well as fatigue and respond to changes in temperature. In terms of the anatomy of the skeletal muscle‚ it is connected to bones by tendons‚ enabling movement. The muscle has layers around its main body: the fascia and the epimysium. A muscle is made up of many fascicles‚ bundles of myofibers (muscle cell) surrounded by perimysium. Each myofibers

to be higher than the baseline data. Increasing the afferent arteriole radius increased the glomerular filtration rate. 2. Under these conditions‚ does the fluid flow through the nephron? >>No! No urine was collected which indicates no fluid flows through the nephron. 3. What is the glomerular filtration rate? >>The glomerular filtration rate is 0 which means the glomeruli are not carrying out any filtration task. 4. How does it compare to your baseline data‚ and

Homeostasis is a point of balance or internal equilibrium. All kinds of systems — both living and non-living — can work to keep themselves in this state of balance‚ but the word "homeostasis" is most often used in biology‚ particularly to describe how the human body reacts to changes and keeps

Skeletal muscle is a voluntary and striated muscle that attaches to the skeleton to allow control over posture and movement. Each skeletal muscle consists of bundles of muscles fibers called fascicles. These fascicles are composed of many individual muscle fibers or muscle cells that can be up to several millimeters long. These muscle fibers are composed of myofibrils‚ which are organized into thick filaments‚ myosin‚ and thin filaments‚ actin. These filaments are organized into repeating structures

Skeletal Muscle Cell There are millions of different types of cells in the world. They are located everywhere. Some are more known than others. The skeletal muscle cell was studied by many scientist but two important scientist are Alexander Mauro and Bernard Katz. They discovered a lot about thee skeletal muscle cell. The skeletal muscle cell is located everywhere in the body. Skeletal muscle cells are attached to bones by tendons as well in some areas the skin. Skeletal muscle cells are

Lab 9 Report: Exercise Physiology Introduction When the human body is put to work and undergoes any sort of activity‚ it requires more energy and resources in order to sustain this. The cells in muscles and organs must work faster‚ and thus require more energy to do so. The body compensates by increasing heart rate and respiration in order to increase the amount of oxygen entering‚ carbon dioxide leaving‚ and rate at which these gases are delivered to cells throughout the body. In this lab‚ we

Skeletal muscle moves because we want it to. It is controlled voluntarily (consciously). There is 2 types of contraction Isometric: As the muscle contracts‚ it remains the same length whilst the tension increases in an attempt to overcome the opposing force. Example: Holding a glass of water still in front of you. Isotonic: As the muscle contracts its length changes whilst the tension remains constant or develops to overcome the opposing force. Example: Lifting a glass of water to your mount and

Laboratory – Muscle Physiology A. MUSCLE TONUS Observations‚ Report and Conclusion: A. Define muscle tonus and give its importance * Muscle tonus refers to a state of slight muscular contraction maintained by synchronous impulses of low frequency‚ discharged by the spinal motor neurons. * Reflex in nature. * Muscle tonus is a small amount of tension in the muscle due to weak‚ involuntary contractions of its motor units. Muscle tonus is important in a sense that it governs the
