Muscular endurance is very important for people playing sports and who have to sustain an activity for long periods of time. Muscular endurance is determined by how well your slow twitch muscle fibers are developed. In case your wondering what slow twitch muscle fibers are‚ I will explain. There are generally two types of muscle fibers in your body‚ slow twitch and fast twitch. Slow twitch muscle fibers cannot exert as much force as fast twitch‚ but can sustain an effort over a much greater period

PLANT TISSUES (pp 261-268) HOW ARE CELLS ORGANIZED IN PLANTS? I. MERISTEMATIC TISSUES A. APICAL MERISTEMS Primary Growth 1. Initials a. Occur near tips of roots and shoots b. Cells have thin walls‚ prominent nuclei‚ and small vacuoles c. Functions 1) Establish patterns of growth. • Leaf pattern. 2) Produce new‚ genetically healthy cells 3) Produce derivatives which in turn account for primary growth i.e. elongation. 2. Derivatives a.

Hannah Loback Muscle Essay The muscular system is a network of tissues that controls movement of the human body. Attached to the skeletal system are a multitude of muscles consisting of tissues‚ blood vessels‚ tendons‚ and nerves. Muscles are a bundle of fibrous tissue in the body that have the ability to contract‚ thus producing movement and maintenance of body parts. Without this system the ability to function and maintain a healthy lifestyle would be impossible. Correct posture‚ locomotion‚ and

due to Muscular Dystrophy‚ also called (MD). Muscular dystrophy is a genetic mishap that weakens the body’s muscles. There is no single disease called muscular dystrophy. Muscular Dystrophy refers to a group of more than 30 inherited diseases. These diseases affect the voluntary or skeletal muscles‚ which control the movements of legs‚ arms‚ and other limbs. Some organs‚ such as the heart and the gut‚ are also affected by the disease. Muscular Dystrophy can prevent the movement of the muscles any human

Mr.Jorez Human Muscular System Visceral muscle is found inside of organs like the stomach‚ intestines‚ and blood vessels. The weakest of all muscle tissues‚ visceral muscle makes organs contract to move substances through the organ. Because visceral muscle is controlled by the unconscious part of the brain‚ it is known as involuntary muscle—it cannot be directly controlled by the conscious mind. The term “smooth muscle” is often used to describe visceral muscle because it has a very smooth

able to exert great bodily or muscular power. Another component of muscular fitness that is crucial is muscular endurance‚ which is the ability to perform a specific muscular action for a prolonged period of time. For example‚ performing 50 squats with a weight of 50 kilograms on the shoulders requires both attributes‚ 150 squats without weight requires more muscular endurance while the ability to perform a single squat with a weight of 200 kilograms depends on muscular strength. Different tests are
