    the breakdown of damaged muscle tissues resulting in the release of muscle fiber contents into the bloodstream (Patel M.D.). This disease occurs when there is damage to the skeletal muscle. The breakdown products of damaged muscle cells‚ such as myoglobin‚ are harmful to the kidneys and frequently result in kidney damage or even kidney failure. The severity of the symptoms depends on the degree of muscle damage and the degree of the kidney damage‚ if any. The primary muscle damage can be caused by

    will carry full investigation and analysis on the Skeletal system‚using my class notes‚researching on the internet and reading books. The Skeletal system is the system of bones‚ associated cartilages and joints of human body. Together these structures form the human skeleton. Skeleton can be defined as the hard framework of human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of human skeletal system. Joints are very important because they make

    Muscles are all made of the same materials‚ a type of flexile tissue of thousands narrow tissues that make up all the muscles. There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body which are Cardiac‚ Smooth and Skeletal Muscles. Cardiac Muscles are muscles that conduct‚ forced‚ being completely in heart‚ responsible for pumping activity of heart‚ very heavy and solid. Smooth are non band‚ not under voluntary force found in comfortable organs of body accountable for growth like absorption of food

    Before the motor neuron cone arrives the muscle fiber‚ AChR clusters are formed in the middle section of a muscle fiber. When the growing nerve cone attaches the muscle fiber‚ Agrin activates Lrp4‚ which then binds to the receptor tyrosine kinase MuSK‚ through this binding MuSK is phosphorylated and starts to form the neural and aneural AChR clustering (Burden 2011). Morphologic differences in the pre- and/or postsynaptic part of the NMJ can be a hint of a certain disease. In the following figure

    (NCBI)‚ depending on the task males or females were more or less resistant for the muscle group being used. Valley Center High School physiology students conducted experiments on muscle size and strength and muscle fatigue. With this in mind‚ the data the students collected from these labs and other sources shows how muscle size and sex have an impact on an individual’s muscle fatigue resistance. First‚ the muscle size of an individual determines how long they can withstand certain types of physical

    excitation-contraction coupling mechanism between skeletal and cardiac muscles. Excitation-contraction coupling is the combination of the electrical and mechanical events in the muscle fibres and is related by the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. (Silverthorn‚ 2007) In the skeletal muscle‚ action potential in the nerves is generated when the somatic motor neurons releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)‚ at the neuromuscular junction. This initiates muscle action potential which is then

    Discuss the relationship between distribution of muscle fibre type and performance. How might exercise training modify or change a person’s fibre-type distribution? There are four different types of muscle fibres: type 1‚ type 2a‚ type 2x‚ and type 2c. “A single skeletal muscle contains fibres having different speeds of shortening and ability to generate maximal force: type 1 (slow-twitch) fibres and type 2 (fast-twitch) fibres. Type 1 fies take approximately 110 ms to reach peak tension when
