Introduction: In this lab‚ I will study how muscles contract‚ what makes muscles contract‚ different types of muscle contraction‚ and learn about how resistance affects muscle contraction. I will define Key Terms that describe what will occur in the experiments; I will conduct an experiment for each Activity and provide all resulting Data as well as answer Questions from each Activity. I will then provide a short Summary for what I learned in each Activity. Key Terms: Recruitment (or Multiple

There are many aspects of being an exercise physiology major. The field of exercise physiology has always interested me‚ but I was never sure about what career path I would choose. This year has really given me a better understanding of what path I would like to pursue. I really wanted to be an occupational therapist‚ but shortly after decided that I wanted to be a physical therapist. According to Writing‚ the annual salary for a physical therapist is in a range from $70‚000-$100‚000 (2010). I wanted

Physiology of stomach:- For understanding approaches for gastro retention‚ it is essential to overview gastric physiology and gastric motility. The stomach is situated in the left upper part of the abdominal cavity immediately under the diaphragm. Human stomach has a resting volume of 25-50ml‚ which can distend upto1500ml following a meal. It is divided into 5 anatomical parts: a) Cardia:- First part of the stomach below the esophagus. It contains cardiac spincter‚which is a thin ring of muscle

Chaper 11 1. Define responsiveness‚ conductivity‚ contractility‚ extensibility‚ and elasticity. State why each of these properties is necessary for muscle function. a. Responsiveness- is a property of all living cells- Muscle and nerve cells have developed this property to the highest degree. When stimulated by chemical signals‚ stretch‚ and other stimuli‚ muscle cells respond with electrical changes across the plasma membrane. b. Conductivity- Stimulation of a muscle cell produces

Physiology Assignment Physiology Assignment Short term responses One short term response when playing basketball is when your face starts to go red‚ this happens because the body gets too hot and it tries to cool the body down by bringing blood to the surface of the skin to let some heat out and the skin also produces sweat to let out heat‚ therefore the skin surface goes red. Another short term response to physical activity is that your breathing rate and heart rate increases‚ the reason
