Sitting cross-legged on the bay window at home‚ I study my canvas. A toddler sits in her pram‚ brown curly locks flying in all directions. Her cheeks are dimpled and her smile is gummy. Her hand holds a rattle‚ but she’s looking at me intently. At first glance‚ she’s exactly the way I remembered her when I first saw her while vacationing at a hill-station. (something not quite right about this sentence) My eyes linger on hers; the curve seems just right‚ the pupils a lovely hue of green-yellow‚ her

In this lab report I will be talking about exercise 3‚ the skeletal muscle lab. I will be going over the contraction of a frog’s gastrocnemius muscle. An overview of muscle contraction is based on the organization of the cytoskeletal proteins. The contraction is the shortening of a sarcomere‚ which is caused by the thick myosin filaments sliding past the thin actin filaments. The actual filaments aren’t getting shorter just sliding past each other. The contraction is caused by physical interaction

Activity 1 – The Muscle Twitch and Latent 1) Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber‚ motor unit‚ skeletal muscle twitch‚ electrical stimulus‚ and latent period. Skeletal Muscle Fiber: Skeletal muscle cells that are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells that produce muscle tension. These fibers are what move our bodies and generate muscle tension/force that enables us to have manual dexterity. Motor unit: consists of one motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers that it

Defining the Visual Arts Alina Lopez ARTS/230CA October 20‚ 2014 Milinda Jaffe-Bork Defining Visual Arts Trying to imagine the world without art is like trying to imagine the world without air. Most people don’t realize how much they rely on the importance of art in their everyday life. Visual arts consist of much more than a painting at a museum. “The visual arts can help us give meaning to what seems meaningless and help us recapture feelings and experiences that we have once had or would

Agam Sidhu Johnson Rhet 1302 26 February 2013 The Death of the Moth Analysis All living creatures must face the battle between life and death. In Virginia Woolf’s “The Death of the Moth” a moth is shown to be injured and laying in a window pane staring upon death. Like the moth‚ humans face the struggle of living life and facing death. The fact that death is inevitable‚ allows humans to shape their lives in a way that makes them content. Woolf effectively uses the dying moth to represent the

exercise. Although stretching doesn’t reduce bodily fat nor does it gain muscle; it does set a good foundation for you to perform the necessary activities that lead to good health. With proper flexibility‚ many functions that were previously not achievable can now be done. For instance‚ a tennis game can be fun for a little while. But as your muscle tense up‚ you risk probable sourness and cramping. With good flexibility‚ your muscles stay loose and relaxed and your attitude toward the tennis game and
