    “It’s sort of stupidly obvious -- of course we feel what others are feeling‚ at least to some extent. If we didn’t‚ then why would we ever cry at the movies or smile when we heard a love song?”(Byrne). Music has survived since prehistoric times and even though it is unnecessary for human survival‚ it has always been used to tell a story and communicate emotion. This is because music allows people to express what the composer is feeling while adding on to it with the musicians own feelings of how

    musculoskeletal system is made up of bones‚ joints‚ and muscles. This system gives the body form and support‚ and protects the body while allowing it to move. Basically‚ the muscles in this system perform three important body functions: the movement of body parts‚ maintenance of body parts‚ and production of body heat. These muscles all consist of a mass of protein fibers grouped together‚ and most are of mesodermal origin. And almost all of the muscle fibers you will ever have or need were present at

    Stimulus-Dependent Lab A motor unit is a motor neuron and the muscle fiber it controls. A whole muscle is made up of hundreds of motor units that are handled by different motor neurons that react at different levels of stimulation. The electric shock acts as an action potential by changing the membrane permeability allowing the sodium and potassium ions to pass through. At different levels of stimulation the motor neurons stimulate a motor unit and the more stimulation the more motor units become

    MANY PROCESSES MUST TAKE place within the skeletal muscle fibres in order for muscle contraction to occur. The cross bridge cycle‚ process by which the muscle length is shortened as myosin heads‚ extending from the myosin filaments‚ interact cyclically in a rowing motion with the actin filament (Rayment et al. 1993)‚ is one of the crucial mechanical events required. The mechanism is initiated when an ATP molecule is bound to a myosin head. An enzyme within the head. known as ATPase‚ hydrolyzes the

    How a Muscle Contracts

    A motor neuron‚ a nerve ending that is attached to a muscle fiber in Petzold’s huge bicep‚ sends a message to contract. This message goes to the neuromuscular junction‚ which is the connection between the actual nerve fiber and muscle fiber. As the message to contract reaches the terminals a neurotransmitter‚ a chemical messenger for the body‚ is released into the gap between the terminal end‚ and the sarcolemma and motor end plate called the synaptic cleft. The particular neurotransmitter is called
