Regarding Muscles Vitamin D deficiency has been tied to mainly bone pathologies. Recent research shows that the effects of Vitamin D span further than just affecting bones and particularly cause muscle weakness. Vitamin D is responsible for aiding in the absorption of other minerals‚ such as calcium. Calcium is a key ligand in muscle contractions‚ thus‚ Vitamin D indirectly can effect muscle contractions. An article published in Nutrition Reviews‚ Vitamin D: an overview of its role in skeletal muscle

The Skeletal System:Bone Tissue 1* Dynamic and ever-changing throughout life 2* Skeleton composed of many different tissues 3* Cartilage bone‚ tissue‚ epithelium‚ nerve‚ blood forming tissue‚ adipose‚ and dense connective tissue Functions of Bone 1* Supporting & protecting soft tissues 2* Attachment site for muscles making movement possible 3* Storage of the minerals‚ calcium& phosphate -- mineral homeostasis 4* Blood cell production occurs in red bone marrow (hemopoiesis) 5* Energy

Physiology of stomach:- For understanding approaches for gastro retention‚ it is essential to overview gastric physiology and gastric motility. The stomach is situated in the left upper part of the abdominal cavity immediately under the diaphragm. Human stomach has a resting volume of 25-50ml‚ which can distend upto1500ml following a meal. It is divided into 5 anatomical parts: a) Cardia:- First part of the stomach below the esophagus. It contains cardiac spincter‚which is a thin ring of muscle

Lab 6: Amphibian Muscle Contraction Results: For this experiment‚ Isometric contractions of the gastrocnemius muscle of a frog were analyzed and from this data the latent period‚ twitch‚ motor unit summation‚ tetanus‚ fatigue & mechanical summation were measured. The data was used to quantify the effect of passive tension on the twitch force‚ effect of stimulus intensity on the twitch force‚ effect of stimulus frequency on contractile force of xenopus gastrocnemius muscle. The threshold voltage

sarcoplasmic hypertrophy (professional bodybuilders and endurance athletes).[citation needed] The first measurable effect is an increase in the neural drive stimulating muscle contraction. Within just a few days‚ an untrained individual can achieve measurable strength gains resulting from "learning" to use the muscle.[citation needed] As the muscle continues to receive increased demands‚ the synthetic machinery is upregulated. Although all the steps are not yet clear‚ this upregulation appears to begin with
