Preventing Muscle Cramps Caused By Dehydration John Doe GEN/200 April 18‚ 2011 John Deere Preventing Muscle Cramps Caused By Dehydration Muscles cramps and spasms can be annoying. If the body is not taking in enough daily fluids it can cause major health issues in a short amount of time. Fluids as well as other contributing factors such as age‚ has a large influence on muscles. People can often suffer from muscle weakness and cramping from dehydration. Exercising can also reduce

Identify the muscles in the anterior compartment of the leg The leg is divided into three compartments by tough fasciae to hold the muscles and proper functioning of these muscles during their contraction. These compartments also contain nerves and vessels. The three main compartments are anterior (extensor)‚ lateral (fibular) and posterior (flexor). The anterior compartment (Extensor compartment) contains muscles which are used for extension (dorsiflexion) of the foot as these muscles have origin

Muscle Fiber contractions for our purposes begins with the arrival of action potential (action potential- is an electrical current) at the end of the axon terminal (axon terminal- the swollen distal end of the motor neuron axon). When the action potential reaches the axon terminal the action potential causes the voltage- gated calcium ion channels to open allowing calcium to flow in from extracellular fluid. The presence of calcium in the axon terminal causes synaptic vesicles (synaptic vesicles-

INTRODUCTION Smooth muscle fibers in different organs are distinctly different from each other in their physical dimensions‚ organization into bundles or sheets‚ response to stimuli‚ characteristics of innovation‚ and function. Smooth muscle is responsible for the contractility of hollow organs‚ such as blood vessels‚ the gastrointestinal tract‚ the bladder and the uterus. Specifically in the uterus‚ regulation of smooth muscle contraction is under the influence of an octapeptide known

Summarise the positive and negative effects on the skeletal and muscular systems of a young person performing contact‚ high impact and repetitive sports. There can be both positive and negative outcomes to a young performer. Positive effects can be the strengthening of the body. Negative effects can be that serious injuries can occur to the undeveloped young performer’s body and not be able to do that sport after. The skeletal system and the muscular system are both systems in the body that can
