Muscle exercised Pectorals‚ triceps‚ biceps and deltoids. These muscles are located in your shoulders‚ arms and thorax. Method Lie down on the bench‚ make sure your comfortable as you do not want to be adjusting during reps. Grip barbell roughly 8 inches apart‚ again make sure your grip is secure and comfortable. Lower the bar slowly and smoothly directly over your chest and in the same rhythm up to the top again. Try to remain smooth in your transaction from the down to the up as if you are

MAJOR MUSCLE GROUPS WORKSHEET‚ Reflection questions and surface anatomy This worksheet will guide your note-taking for the Major Skeletal Muscles slideshow. Be sure to include drawings or sketches of your muscle groups. It will help you when you are studying this material in the future. Your drawings do not need to be fancy. You can make simple stick figures with arrows pointing to the location of the muscle group if you wish. 1. Axial muscles are skeletal muscles of the Trunk or Head

Compare and contrast cardiac and smooth muscle. In cardiac muscle‚ each heartbeat is triggered by the hearts own pacemaker cells‚ which initiate electrical discharge and when this reaches the contractile muscle cells (the cardiomyocytes)‚ they create an action potential which increases the concentration of calcium ions into the cell. Calcium ions play a key role in activating what is known as the contractile machinery – the actin and myosin filaments. The cardiac action potential‚ unlike other forms

how muscles contract‚ this is shown by the 5 stages of the sliding filament theory. When the muscle contracts‚ the myosin filaments attach themselves to similar actin filaments‚ this attachment causes formation in chemical bonds this then forms the cross bridges. Myosin and actin molecules are made in a series‚ this series is what makes up a muscle cell. This basic module is called the sarcomere‚ these are what gives the tissue of a skeletal muscle its appearance. The mechanism within muscle contraction

The action of ANS-related drugs on smooth muscle Introduction In the following experiment‚ the key objective is to compare the mechanical changes in tonic force by longitudinal smooth muscle after the addition of different concentrations of the drugs noradrenaline and acetylcholine. Peristalsis is the wave of muscle contractions that allow circular muscles to constrict the gut and longitudinal muscles to shorten it in an attempt to move the food bolus towards the rectum. A series of dilutions

How to Reduce Lactic Acid Build up in Muscles Understanding Lactic AcidReducing Lactic Acid During a WorkoutReducing Lactic Acid Through Your Diet Edited by LC108‚ BR‚ Jacob‚ Vahab2121 and 5 others Lactic acid is released into the muscles when they have used up their normal energy stores but still have intense energy needs. Small amounts of lactic acid operate as a temporary energy source‚ thus helping you avoid fatigue during a workout. However‚ a build up of lactic acid during a workout can

Title: Muscle twitch response and recruitment‚ summation and tetanus Exercise 1: The effects of nerve stimulation Objectives: 1. To explore the motor and sensory effects of electrical stimuli on a student volunteer‚ using the nerves of the forearm. 2. To examine the position where a largest muscular twich response with the lowest pulse current can be generated. This position is kept constant to determine results in exercises 2 and 3. Procedure: Refer to Human Biology Practical Manual

we begin to experience the damages and pain we created for ourselves during our more youthful years. There are a number of factors that can make us more susceptible to bone disease. In this paper I will be discussing Osteoporosis‚ Osteoarthritis‚ Muscle Atrophy and the effects they would have on an eighty year old woman. The women’s physical condition is thin‚ small boned‚ and is Caucasian. None of these characteristics are in her favor of making her less likely to fall victim to the above bone or

Essential Question The essential question was “How do the skeletal and muscular systems work together to allow the body to move‚ like waving?” The human body is a very complex thing‚ and performing a simple task‚ such as waving to another person‚ involves a lot of work. The muscular system is very important in the aid of movement. It works alongside the skeletal system‚ which is equally as important. The skeletal system is significant to the life of an organism‚ as it performs many functions
