the ‘Core’ Muscle Group Herbert DeRama Jeff Roberts Kinesiology 240 Ohlone College When most people want to work on their stomach muscles‚ their main focus would typically be concentrated on the middle part of their belly‚ the rectus abdominis. This would be the part of your stomach that creates those six pack abs that everybody wants to have. Girls love how ripped abs look and men desperately try to attain it. The physical appearance component of having nice stomach muscles is indeed a

Human Physiology Lab Special Senses Cutaneous Senses and Vision September 24/26‚ 2012 Our bodies are capable of sensing a wide spectrum of stimuli. We are consciously aware of some of the information our bodies perceive‚ but much of the information that is sensed is beyond our consciousness. Receptors responsible for perception of stimuli are found in many places: skin‚ eyes‚ ears‚ mouth‚ blood vessels‚ lungs‚ brain—frankly‚ every cell in the body has sensory receptors. These receptors are

The musculo skeletal system is an organ system that gives humans the ability to move‚ it provides stability‚ protection‚ movement and support to the body . It is also made up of bones‚ tendons‚ ligaments‚ cartilage‚ joints and other connective tissue that binds tissues and organs together. The musculo skeletals job is to The skeletal system acts like a framework to support vital organs by keeping them place when doing vigourous sports‚ for example the vertebrae acts like a pillar and holds the

6 Biomechanics of Frog Skeletal Muscle I. Purpose This exercise is designed to demonstrate some mechanical and physiological properties of skeletal muscle using the gastrocnemius muscle of a frog. II. Performance Objectives At the end of this exercise the student should be able to: 1. Define minimal (threshold)‚ subminimal‚ maximal‚ and supramaximal stimulus. 2. Explain what is meant by a “graded” response. 3. Draw a diagram of the setup used in this lab exercise. 4. Calculate the work

LABORATORY REPORT RENAL PHYSIOLOGY INTRODUCTION: The kidneys‚ which maintain the purity and constancy of our internal fluids‚ are perfect examples of homeostatic organs. They regulate the chemical content the pH and osmotic pressure of the blood. Kidneys filter gallons of fluid from the bloodstream. They then process this filtrate‚ allowing wastes and excess ions to leave the body in urine while returning needed substances to the blood in just the right proportions. Factors that affect urine

Under this layer is the subcutaneous fat layer; this separates the skin from the underlying bone and muscle with rich blood supply it also serves as an insulator and energy store. Pressure ulcers develop when a large amount of pressure is applied to an area of skin over a short period of time. Or‚ they can occur when less force is applied but over a period

2. Describe the process of breathing?? Breathing consists of two phases. The first is inspiration and the second is expiration. During inspiration‚ the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles contract. The diaphragm moves downwards increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and the intercostal muscles pull the ribs up expanding the rib cage and further increasing this volume. This increase of volume lowers the air pressure in the alveoli to below atmospheric pressure. Due to air always flowing
