Humans breathe and speak daily without a thought of what really goes into this one aspect of communication. Even though breathing and speaking may seem like a mindless process‚ there are a number of muscles‚ ligaments and body parts that go into the mechanisms that make life what it is. In order to live and speak‚ we must be able to breathe. Respiration is the act of breathing. The act of drawing in a breath‚ or inspiration is the process of in-taking air. Air is taken in through the upper airways

Contraction of myoepithelial cells around breast ducts and alveoli to stimulate milk flow and it is queried as to whether oxytocin release actually causes the onset of labor. Oxytocin primarily affects uterine smooth muscle - increasing both the frequency and duration of action potentials during uterine contractions. Oestrogen enhances the effects of oxytocin by lowering the membrane potential of smooth muscle cells. As the fetus enters the

These are but not limited to techniques such as: Super Sets‚ Forced Reps‚ Pyramid System and Periodization. Super Sets are when you do two exercises one after the other with no rest in between sets. Depending on the goals that you have set‚ the exercise can be for the same or different muscle groups. (Waehner‚ 2011) If you have limited time to

Your muscles are always moving. It is impossible to sit still. Your heart is always pumping‚ and your muscles make you breath and hold you upright. If your muscles all relaxed at the same time‚ you would collapse. You would not be able to survive without your muscular system.

Muscle and joint actions both affect the performance of a discus-athlete. Various types of joint actions and muscular actions can take place once when the movement is executed by the athlete. As an example‚ a discus-thrower usually activates the horizontal abduction and the horizontal adduction during the preparation or execution phases of his/her throw. The ground contact of the discus-thrower is very important as it keeps the thrower’s center of gravity station within his/her strongest point of

Muscle adaptations to the increase in energy demands at the start of exercise Introduction The transition from rest to exercise is associated with a huge upsurge in energy expenditure‚ due primarily to skeletal muscle contractions (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). Contractions require energy in the form of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP). ATP stores in muscle are around 8mmol/l and are exhausted within 2s of exercise (Connett & Sahlin‚ 1996). To continue exercise and maintain ATP homeostasis‚ ATP

recessive “mini-muscle” phenotype in mice. Smaller body size and muscles as well as increased maximal oxygen intake are observed in mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype. This observation raises an issue about why the selectively bred mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype have reduced triceps and thigh muscle mass as they are able to cover greater distances; due to faster running speed‚ on an activity wheel compared to normal mice. However‚ greater exercise and load is thought to result in muscle hypertrophy
