Weights programme – The programme designed has been designed to target all muscle groups effectively using a wide range of exercises. Exercises for the pectorals such as the bench press‚ exercises for the latissimus dorsi such as the lat pulldown‚ etc. I have created a programme consisting of 6 exercises. The exercises are bench press‚ lat pulldown‚ leg press‚ dumbbell shoulder press and bicep curl and tricep pushdown. The first exercise is bench press. This exercise can either be performed using

vasodilation/vasoconstriction. Vasodilation is an increase in the diameter of a blood vessel‚ whilst vasoconstriction is the decrease of the diameter. Vasodilation is a passive process‚ resulting from the recoil of elastic elements in the vessel walls as the smooth muscle walls relax. Vascular resistance is owed largely to the arterioles of the systemic circulation. Arteriole resistance regulates blood flow to the tissues downstream. In addition to this arteriole resistance (in combination with the cardiac output)

Further research continued and in 1846 Claude Bernard published details that when curare was injected into the nerve of a frog failed to abolish muscle contractions in response to either nerve stimulation or direct muscle stimulation‚ proof that curare acted at the nerve-muscle junction (Raghavendra‚ 2002‚ p. 363). There are two groups of neuromuscular blockers‚ the depolarizers and the non- depolarizers. A few drugs that fall under the non-depolarizing agents

axons of motor nerves meet the muscle‚ thus transmitting messages from the brain which cause the muscle to contract and relax. Every organism has thousands of neuromuscular joints which are the locations and means by which the motor neuron of the nervous system that instructs the muscle cells of the muscular systems to take action. Action that ‚ in turn lead to movements of muscles and other structures such as the tissues‚ bones‚ limbs that are controlled by muscles and it also causes the heart

by a large working knowledge of many subjects. The structure of a robot is mostly mechanical and can be called a kinematic chain. This is functionality being similar to the skeleton of the human body‚ so “The chain is formed of its bones‚ muscles and joints which can allow one or more degrees of freedom” (Smith16). Scientists develop man-made mechanical devices that can move by themselves‚ whose motion must be modeled‚ lanned‚ sensed‚ actuated and controlled‚ and whose motion behavior
