Muscle tissue Muscle tissue has a ability to relax and contrast and so bring about movement and mechanical work in various parts of the body. There are other movements in the body too which are necessary for the survival of the organism such as the heart beat and the movements of the alimentary canal. Muscles can be divided into three main groups according to their structure * Smooth muscle tissue. * Skeletal muscle tissue. * Cardiac (heart) muscle tissue.

Establishing evaluation criteria is needed to evaluate alternatives and to make decisions. Depending on the nature of the problem different constraints may be used to design a policy. Once evaluating a clear criterion‚ we must go through a process of identifying alternatives that will later be evaluated in the terms of criteria. Evaluation criteria are grouped in four categories‚ identified by Bardach. For each policy problem‚ we should be able to identify relevant criteria in each category. They

humans the ability to physically move‚ by using the muscles and skeletal system. It consists of the muscular system and the human skeleton. Bones are connected to each other at the joints by ligaments or cartilage and skeletal muscle is attached to bones‚ usually by tendons. Bones mass or density is lost as people age‚ especially in women after menopause. The bone loses calcium and other minerals. Bone is a constantly changing tissue that has several functions. Bones serve as rigid structures to the

Q1 Muscle contraction can be understood as the consequence of a process of transmission of action potentials from one neuron to another. A chemical called acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter released from the presynaptic neuron. As the postsynaptic cells on the muscle cell membrane receive the acetylcholine‚ the channels for the cations sodium and potassium are opened. These cations produce a net depolarization of the cell membrane and this electrical signal travels along the muscle fibers. Through

Your 10 Pounds of Muscle Plan Gaining 10 pounds of pure muscle is significant‚ and doing it in only four weeks isn’t exactly a long period of time to successfully achieve this goal. But don’t fool yourself: It is possible‚ as long as your commitment and consistency in the kitchen is as honest and intense as your effort in the gym. Will you gain ten pounds of dry muscle mass? Probably not but you can certainly gain up to ten pounds of lean muscle mass‚ which consists of dry muscle‚ glycogen and water

performance of the athlete both in physical and mental terms. The athlete needs to learn to notice the signs of fatigue and tension that arises from this and introduce methods to cope with the debilitating effect it can have on their performance. Muscle fatigue and the tension associated with it can result from a number of different factors. The athletes may simply have over exerted themself physically in training or competition leading to muscular fatigue from pushing their physical limits. They

The process of naming compounds allows chemists to communicate formulae in words rather than in chemical symbols. There are‚ however‚ a few rules about naming compounds which need to be known in order to write a formula in word form or translate a compound in word form into chemical symbols. Ionic compounds If the compound is ionic‚ then the name of the cation (usually metal) comes first‚ followed by the ’compound’ name of the anion. To find the compound name of an anion‚ replace the end of the

Americans and their naming traditions• In the generation that we live in‚ legal names are given. In Native American Culture names are earned. Native American naming traditions are very personal and sacred. Each and every single name has its own meaning and purpose. This are drawn from nature‚ frequently determined by the environment‚ animals or characters. Unlike us‚ their names are the identity‚ are who they truly are. In the Native American Naming Tradition‚ a person could have several names during

1. Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fiber type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fiber-type distribution? Skeletal muscles contain multiple fiber types that are distinguished by their different myosin ATPase speed‚ and the development of their SR. The two main fiber types are type I and type II fibers. Type II fibers have a faster ATPase and a more developed SR than type I fibers. Type II fibers are also part of a larger motor unit‚
