Muscle contractions tend to be smooth and vary in strengths‚ depending on the demands placed on them. The variations of strength are called graded muscle responses. There are two ways a muscle contraction can be graded‚ either by changing the frequency of stimulation or by changing the strength of the stimulation. When a muscle is responding to a change in stimulus frequency‚ the nervous system will reach a greater muscular force when increasing the firing of motor neurons. This causes a wave or

“Osteoarthritis” The Musculo-skeletal system FACT SHEET The term "joint" refers to the physical point of connection between two bones. There are numerous joint types throughout the body‚ these being ball and socket joints‚ hinge joints‚ condyloid joints‚ pivot joints‚ gliding joints‚ and saddle joints. A normal joint meets the point of two bones to permit movement. Cartilage is made up of protein that covers the end of bones and aids in protecting the bones and operates as a shock absorber and

Comparing the Cardiac muscle and the Skeletal muscle Differences Similarities Skeletal muscle is usually linked to bones by structures called tendons. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. They are both important parts to the body. Skeletal muscle cells are usually arranged into cylindrical fibres with multiple nuclei and can be directly controlled by voluntary nerve signals from the nervous system. Cardiac muscle cells are normally shorter and are linked via gap junctions which allow compounds

Pushing your limits often leads to a muscle plateau‚ but there’s always something you can do to maintain a climbing growth for your muscles. Any hard work can quickly be undone just by simple everyday habits. Your life in the kitchen is the gateway to muscle production and proper health. Eating habits can make or break your perfect body. Gaining Muscle is always hard especially if you are trying to lose unneeded fat as well‚ but most muscle mass training programs leave out one of the body’s most

Even though cardiac muscle has an inherent ability to beat. the nodal system plays a critical role in heart physiology. What is that role? Ensures that depolarization proceeds in an orderly manner from atria to ventricles ; accelerates and coordinates heart activity to effectively pump blood. Electrocardiography

They are your Quadriceps they are the biggest muscles by far they are at the front of the thighs. They raise the thigh and leg. Then there are the Hamstrings these form the back of the thighs and move the leg backward. The Buttocks powerful and bulky complete the backward movement of the step. Stomach muscles

the purpose of this exercise? The purpose of this exercise is to learn the skeletal systems and the components associated with the system. I will be exploring the major types of bones and cartilage. Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so‚ list what they are and what precautions should be taken. Handle the microscope and the slides with care; when taking the chicken bone out of the oven use caution because the bone is extremely hot. Exercise 1: The Chemical Components

2/14/2012 Anatomy and Physiology Muscle Grip Strength Lab Report Introduction: Skeletal muscle is a form of striated muscle tissue existing under the voluntary control of the somatic nervous system (Medscape 1). Skeletal muscle is part of the three big muscle types‚ it is connected to bones by tendons (Medscape 1). Muscle grip strength is significant to an individual because it helps the person know the ability of muscle power and force that they have in their

Muscle adaptations to the increase in energy demands at the start of exercise Introduction The transition from rest to exercise is associated with a huge upsurge in energy expenditure‚ due primarily to skeletal muscle contractions (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). Contractions require energy in the form of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). ATP stores in muscle are around 8mmol/l and are exhausted within 2s of exercise (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). To continue exercise and maintain ATP homeostasis‚ ATP
